I use all three as it adds more to the story. You will definitely miss out on some things using all of one species. I like Nephil because I have a preference for cats, but I like Sliths because they have a more advanced culture and spirituality. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

I have worked with it here and there just to add some things I really needed, namely money and some equipment. It is a lot of work to script in every item. Though it takes a bit less time to give the PC every ring at once, or whatever item all at once, it is still more or less the same amount of coding. I've since left this project since BoA feels more rewarding for hours and hours of coding. JadeWolf - Did you save the scripts you completed? If so the may be useful to someone who wants to pick up the project. Hawk - You are a very patient person if you are willing to put that much time into a complete item editor.

I personally wouldn't use pirates specifically, but with graphics that actually resemble a ship I would incorporate sea travel into the story. Maybe when you start the scenario you were shipwrecked, and the game starts with you on your now destroyed ship. Even though the ship can't sail anymore you can still wander form lower to upper deck. If you were sailing you would have some supplies left on the ship to take with you, or maybe it would be a safe place to rest.

Aside form using unlock to open doors, and essence orbs on the very hard battles, what you described is more or less how I normally play. The only creations I make are Cryoas, and once I am able I make drayks/cryodrayks. The only healing magic I use is heal and major heal. I don't really use blessing magic except in very difficult battles. I like working with melee while my pets work in magic, but I do use essence orbs on high-level creations. I didn't use the anvils to forge anything. (I experimented with the anvil after finishing the game.) I picked up some of these habits from GF1 and 2, and they work well for me. Since it is pretty easy to get through GF without using magic I never really got into using a lot of spells or blessing magic until I played Avernum.

No Stone Ring in Geneforge Series | |

By “no stone ring” I assume you are referring to the bracelet you received in the testing grounds that will become the “Bejeweled Bracelet”. The only place you can add stones to that bracelet is in the training ground. The trials get fairly difficult, but the reward is a bracelet that pumps shaping skills. It is worn instead of gloves or gauntlets, but is very useful when you need to make creations. I carry it with me and only wear it while shaping.

If she's just walking around by herself, or shopping, or something like that, asking to walk with her is a pretty good way to go. That way she gets to talk to you a bit before deciding whether or not she wants to get to know you. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Consider yourself lucky Jewels. I had a guy I've never met before come up to me and say… “Hey it's you! (I don't know you) yeah you do. I wrote you this love letter a long time ago and never gave it to you.” The letter he gave me was the exact lyrics to a (*shudder*) *NSYNC song. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Agents are far more powerful than Shapers. Shapers die from a slight breeze, and have to rely on their pets for protection. In addition they can't fight very well, again relying on their pets. Agents are strong enough to travel solo, and powerful enough to make some creations if they want some allies. They're good with a sword, and excellent with magic. Edit: They're, not their.

Achmage Alex - I agree that swearing constantly is vulgar and unnecessary, and there are much more polite ways to handle differences and frustrating or painful situations. And of course certain situation and places (like here) make such language more inappropriate that at other times. With all due respect you really don't know how much those around me swear. They very often say thing I don't want to hear. I don't repeat those things to others because they are unkind to say, and are in no way productive in an argument. I choose not to say them because I don't want to use them. Like anything else vocabulary is a habit, and is a choice whether is it adopted or not. That said, people shouldn't be judged so harshly for using swear words, and they certainly shouldn't be generalized as being bad people.

Yeah, I like that. Use a ship as a town, and/or elaborate on Avernum's sailing culture. It could be done, but I can't draw graphics. Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |
