what does A4 offer us? in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Monday, December 26 2005 15:55 Profile #9 I never played Exile. In Avernum 2, they were indeed called shapers, but I'm pretty sure it was lowercase. Plus, as I mentioned, JV should avoid such things unless he's actually going to unite the worlds. Which would suck. -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were. Posts: 322 \| Registered: Monday, April 12 2004 07:00

what does A4 offer us? in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Monday, December 26 2005 15:04 Profile #7 They're going to end up uniting the two worlds, sad as that may be. Seriously, they keep on sharing graphics, and today I had a dialogue where a Vahnatai told me he was not a Shaper. Capitalized, and without mention of crystals. You'd think that JV would start to avoid stuff like that after these silly conspiracies start floating around unless they're true. :rolleyes: Okay, maybe not. But they really ought to keep the graphics distinct even if the engines aren't. -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

The Blosk Maps in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Monday, December 26 2005 09:39 Profile #0 I could have sworn that I'd already picked them up, but they don't show up in my special items any longer. I've been back to Blosk and can't find them again, so, can anybody tell me where to find the Blosk maps? -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

Are there secret passages? in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Sunday, December 25 2005 21:16 Profile #32 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Dikiyoba knows that those strategies may be considered cheating, but are better than going leftrightleftrightupdownupdown all the time. I very much doubt they're faster than an actual search. Certainly they wouldn't be in the Geneforge/A4 engine. You get pretty quick at searching after a dungeon or two, and it's a convenient opportunity to pick up stuff you couldn't carry before.

Doesn't Avernum 4 say that every Nephil has the chance of becoming a Nephar? It's in the description of the first Nephil Chief. Yes.

Just hit the registration barrier. in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Saturday, December 24 2005 08:33 Profile #30 Look near the Drake in Motrax's caves for his tablets. I believe you can steal graymold from the healer north of Formello. And I haven't finished the game, but I very much doubt the iron bars quest grants anything other than warm fuzzies and cash. -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

Its Almost Christmas in General
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Friday, December 23 2005 21:26 Profile #16 I love Christmas...it's the only time of the year my parents really gift me with much (my birthday is December 17th, so it and Christmas tend to blend in my mind...lucky me). And I get time off school and spend a fair bit of time with my extended family, many of whom are awesome. Although it sucks that Christmas is a Sunday this year...gotta sit through two services before I go running off to see people. :( -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

Purely in the Interest of Role Playing. in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Friday, December 23 2005 20:57 Profile #24 The Nephar carriers become Nephil Warriors instead of plain Nephil. :D As for resolutions, I like fairly big on-screen fonts, so I like 1024x768 on my PC desktop. I didn't swap out of 800x600 on those until I got a 17" monitor. On Macs, it varies...I got an 832x624 monitor with my 9600 but got used to higher reses on school iMacs and stuff. Plus downing my Powerbook's display to less than 1024x768 just looks nasty. -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

Athron's Familiar in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Friday, December 23 2005 20:36 Profile #5 It's not too difficult to destroy all the pylons and then kill him before he regenerates them. Though I got him down to about 20 hp before he reformed them and then just hacked away at 2-3 hp per hit because I didn't feel like destroying the pylons again. ;) -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

Level 3 spells in Avernum 4
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Thursday, December 22 2005 22:47 Profile #21 quote: Originally written by Synergy: There are a fair number of spells which never make it past level 2 and some never past level 1. Though as some of us are slowly realizing (I'm really slow sometimes), it doesn't much matter. Getting a higher level in the spell doesn't change the spell's capabilities any longer like it used to, and if you look at the spell power level, it's the sum of mage/priest, spellcraft, and the spell level (also presumably magery, but that's not in the manual). So the spell level adds between 1 and 5, whereas (by endgame, anyway), your other skills are probably responsible for something approaching 20 points. Kind of boring, really, given the costs of increasing spells that high. :( -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Thursday, December 22 2005 12:45 Profile #0 It's much more effective than previously with this continuous thing, and it also works well with the multiple-level-continuity thing. It's pretty awe-inspiring. But mostly I'm posting to complain about the fact that Mertis doesn't heal you itself. I mean, sure you can use the altar, but that's so much more work! ;) -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.

A4 Causing Crashes in Tech Support
SNM Shock Trooper Member # 4239	written Thursday, December 22 2005 10:49 Profile #1 If the same thing happens outside of the game, it's pretty much impossible that the game is causing it. As for what's actually causing the problem....well, it sounds like a dying video card at first glance (scrambled screen) or overheating problems. But neither of those seem very likely in an old eMac. :confused: -------------------- There are two kinds of game players...those who are newbies, and those who were.
