Try a few of the dialogue options, as the option to disrupt the essence should still be there. If you still don't have it try going back to Lord Rahul and tell him about the General.

Hi Ash:

That was me. I registered BoE and hated it. Sorry to mess up your poll. I wasn't aware that having a low opinion of BoE was nearly as despicable as genocide, but I've since been informed.

Z

He was saying that no one who registered BoE could hate it, and thus must be playing with the results just to do so; you are the first I have heard say that they hated it, but if that was your honest answer than that is what you should have said.

Really? But I would have done things differently if this was mentioned in the first post, or had I of gotten an answer the day I asked. Is that a definite "no"?

Skill Point Abstinence in Geneforge Series
Shaper
Member # 5437

When I got to South End I was at level four, and had 13 points of essence. To make a Fyora costs a base of eight; two points in Intelligence costs three more in essence (new total is 11). This would leave me with only two points in essence to spare; assuming I don't give them to the Fyora.

Essence is hard to come by without investing in Intelligence, so making creations (especially early on) isn't very helpful. Alwan and/or Greta make things much easier since they leave the little essence you have available for healing.

I asked this question earlier, and haven't gotten an answer. I'd also like to know, as I would like to keep Thuryl in the top three.

Aside from Living Tools being in short supply, not having enough leadership (Guardian starts with two) becomes a problem when you get to South End. The skill is too low to convince people to give you things for free, so if you want to read Crider's Thahd book you have to pay 200 coins. Sellable items are plentiful, but it takes many trips back to South End with such low strength.

As far as combat goes it's not too difficult early on, especially with Alwan or Greta along. Getting through the mine field is indeed an interesting process, as once in a while you just can't get away fast enough. It seems doable to get through the game like this while playing on torment, but the lack of leadership will cause a decent amount to be missed, at least early on. I stopped at Dhonal's Island, and haven't had too much trouble with the combat; the Creator and Spawners are a bit difficult.

I am familiar with this and similar practices; I do not fallow any set guidelines, but do incorporate some aspects of them into daily life.

Do you take part in any practice such as this?

Sip006 - I started a new game using gf3itemschars.txt, and found that the dagger on the table at the very beginning is a piece of terrain (grass) that cannot be equipped.

Hmm, on second glance, all items are grass.

Edit: I had to stop testing it because GF kept crashing, and I was unable to load save files without it crashing; after putting back the original gf3itemschars.txt this stopped happening.

The Servant mind in the school, the turrets, and Litalia (sp) and her creations all look very strange in various ways.

Alwan and Hoge look normal, but Alwan is the only one moving very fast,

If your leadership is high enough you can just tell the commander what is in the mines, and leave without killing it; you still have to go see it though.

I like BoA the way it is, and if he were to do a "face lift" it would likely make it look more like Geneforge. I don't see it being profitable for Jeff to polish BoA when he could write a new game, likely GF4.

I liked Avernum 1's story a bit more and was more comfortable with the way the game worked, but I really liked getting both view points from Nethergate.

I suppose I like Avernum 1 a little bit more.

I didn't find Avernum 3 that bad. It was my least favorite of the trilogy, but it had its moments. Skribbane is a fond memory, and the filth factory was mildly disturbing.

I liked venturing out of the underworld and wandering the surface. The various plagues were interesting the first time around, but it was the only one in the trilogy I haven't played a second time.

Schrodinger's FAQ/Walkthrough is at the top of this forum, and between it and this forum you access to all the answers.

Some people prefer to have the book, as it gives you the ability to search for the needed information while staying in the game, so it depends what meets your needs.

Ah, but perhaps my cookies are a gateway to a realm loving bliss; that which is made with love contains love :P

I would like to transfer my 62 votes to Stughalf.

I give my support to Aran and Thuryl as well, but they have enough votes to move forward. Can I change my votes if the numbers change drastically?
