For what it's worth, I write/produce a lot of ads for radio. And I would say that the main reason so many ads suck is that it's so hard to make some things look good. For example, some place is having a sale where selected items are 15% off, and I have to try to make it sound like a big deal. Other key reasons include deadlines and no time for polishing ideas, a client with a particular (bad) approach that he wants, or just plain stupid copywriting. And Alorael is absolutely correct in terms of a lot of the ad being empty words. Sometimes we use filler to get the ad to time out to a neat 30 seconds.

Funniest/worst advertising I've seen is for a porn shop around here (seems to be a theme :P ), where they have all these signs and TV ads promoting their half-price sale. These have been going for as long as I've been here, and I suspect quite a while before that.

Fatigue (Revenge), Night/Day cycles (Shadow of the Stranger) and Hunger (Election) can all add a lot to a game. But the game has to be designed that way. You can't just slap them on top of some other formula and expect them to make things better.

It gave you the solution. Started with M. I remember it being sorta reminiscent of "Marsupial".

Sorry, the fights don't get easier by any means. Some are really nasty. Thus my admiration for your courage. :P I hope you picked up the amulet the Nightmare Guardian dropped. That will have a large influence on one of the toughest fights.

That's a weird bug... never encountered that one either. I assume they're set to not move, but I neither have a copy of the scenario or of BoE anymore, and as I've already demonstrated, I don't remember the intricacies of the scenario too well.

I don't think it would be stupid to have the Skree be charmable. It's a tactical puzzle. It's not like you could win every fight with it. That said, looks like I was wrong anyway. :P You CAN get some to fight on your side later, though, which will really help in the mean fights.

Just so you know, I'm Creator. :P It's just been a long time since I made that scenario. Now that you mention the Skree, that twigs something in my brain - I think it's actually that thing that you can charm. Or something. The particulars of individual monsters and fights have kind of faded with time.

In general, the two best tactics to beating spellcasters are 1) be out of sight when it's their turn or 2) hit them with lots of melee fast. In the case of Selene, I had 3 priest/fighters, so I had them cast Avatar before every big fight. That doesn't really apply here.

I suppose there's bound to be a few side effects when you use a hacked editor to raise stats beyond their normal maximum. :P I never had that one, though.

For the tunnels fight, I may be forgetting here, but I think the rocks he animates are charmable. Give that a shot.

By the way, I admire your courage in trying it with a level 5 party. :P

Once you have the taste for kittens, but have gotten tired of all that work for a few ounces of meat (trust me) you should switch over to puppies. It may be overall size that is the difference, but I find that a puppy makes a meal for two, while a kitten is maybe half a meal for one. So if you like killing kittens, eat kittens, but if you are just hungry, eat a puppy.

Well, sure, if you're only interested in the meat. I really like the eyes, personally. They're so adorable and yummy! :)
