Linux is likely over-represented among shareware customers, since running Linux is pretty much choosing shareware as a way of life.

To be fair, Efram (with the fake Demonslayer) has had parties of adventurers waving the real blade in his face since the beginning of the series.

There's another Nullity Shield on an Aranea in caves south of Camp Samuels. The problem is they're friendly, so you have to murder them to get it. But when you murder them, you can also get past the one blocking the passage, to learn more Terror. I can't see another way to do this.

Originally written by Secular Right:

Are solar-powered machines designed to collect materials and construct copies of themselves alive? By your definition, yes. By common consent, no; even sophisticated programming is considered mechanical. But if we found self-replicating machines on another planet, would they be alive, artifacts of other intelligent life, or a coincidence?

For that matter, is fire alive? It consumes energy and reproduces.

—Alorael, who wouldn't rule out inability to identify alien life precisely because it's so alien. Is there even a clear definition of what life means in a context other than Earth?

Originally written by Student of Trinity:

The giant planets are mostly gaseous, but are thought to have solid cores. In a sense they have liquid layers, but no ocean surfaces: at the high temperatures and pressures deep within these planets, vapor just gradually thickens into liquid, without any sharp transition, as pressure rises further. One should probably speak simply of 'fluid', without specifying liquid or gas.

Originally written by BlueMist:

Having been told that the way to the Castle was the old thiefs trail under the river and the town of Almaria, I hit the trail. With a brief appearance inside the city itself to sneak past the Shade, and some small talk with a few mages, I finally surfaced behind the house of the ferry operator. But, wait, I'm still on the East side of the river. Any ideas that will help me thru this dangerous journey?
