Added to which, Magic shaping can ultimately provide (along with some containers) you with the near-invincible Eyebeasts. Assuming GF3 is the same as GF2 in this respect, attacking all creatures within sight with a respectable amount of damage as well as - more importantly! - double stun is the single most powerful attack of any creation in the game. I prefer drayks to glaahks, but the drakons are simply too weak. Which is a great pity in the RP sense, unless their ability to shape was supposed to be their only value.

Yes, after being cursed, the number of monsters summoned by Call Beast by a druid of mine dropped to 1 - which is below what it was in the very start... INT 6 helped that, but still... However, It doesn't look as if I could fix it without registering, and there was someone who suggested I'd not do that yet since there was an update coming. Could anyone tell me any more on this? -------------------- In D&D there are lots of gods. Some of them are Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and they have equal power.

quote:Think before you type, TBYT... I believe Thuryl said Jeff publicly stated he did not wish to be stereotypical and include elves. Now for anyone familiar with LotR, that would mean orcs as well, by extension... So that's how you can know. quote:The Necromancer I think unlikely since in Avernum the PCs apparently tend to only have one path, and that valorous and noble. It would take a lot of work to accommodate a Necromancer PC in an Avernum game... Anyway, to me, this sort of thing reeks of Diablo II and all its hapless descendants; cutting-edge graphics, dazzling SFX, dynamic camera control and astounding zoom, and a non-existent story. The reason for playing Spiderweb games is that this has not yet happened to them, and fortunately cannot until their method of sale. They wouldn't have the sorry excuse of good looks to conceal the utter pointlessness of games built on that basis, so... Hope that puts it in perspective, pal. Be seeing you.

I have been cursed by three ugly old women. This is supposed to make everyone feel rather uncomfortable around me. When I try to talk to an NPC who actually has something to say, such as Cormac the Druid - who should be the least likely to be ruffled by it - the NPC can't keep from being distracted from the ominous curse marks on my arms... If, however, I address one of the common townsfolk, they will happily make small talk with me for a while, even though I'll learn nothing of note. There... you always knew the poor were also the kind, and apparently braver than anyone else in the village except for Carridwen and the chief. That's how you live with it! Goodnight. -------------------- In D&D there are lots of gods. Some of them are Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and they have equal power.

Equip Armour: Failed. Young Celtic warriors didn't wear body armour. I'm assuming I remain young throughout the game? :P And that being the case, is there any point at all to keeping the best chain mail I find? Can I recruit Romans in Vanarium? Are they any good? I haven't been to Vanarium yet, you see - I have not yet been able to bring myself to dare the long darkness of the path of the Ritual of... Nethergate was there before OS X, and it remains the most expensive Spiderweb game. The different atmosphere is probably worth it, though. (This is a reference to part 3 of Jeff's The View From Below or whatever the name was.) Cormac the Druid, the "ancient" wise woman in the creepy corner of Nethergate, the three crones and their dungeon, Pearlblossom. Even the hermits, ffs...

It is clear sacrilege to discuss this game in these forums. IMHO it is so utterly devoid of any sort of point I cannot possibly imagine what it would take to make a sentient creature play it. In my case... only a promise that the servers would be shut down and the game itself removed from the face of the planet... it would be worth the personal sacrifice. People calling it an RPG is hilarious. It only has the statistics, the beautiful numbers labeled Combat Levels that a multitude of people find it interesting to worship. Where is the ROLE-PLAYING? Sheesh... That term has completely lost its meaning, would't you agree? Still, not here... I hope. Or hoped. P.S. If my karma should rapidly drop after posting this, you will have amused me to no end.

quote:Yes, it is. It actually turns your levels in spells into levels in Thrown Missiles (and maybe First Aid too). There is no magic in that scenario. But with the high Thrown Missiles and uber-powerful Pilums (although balanced in this specific scenario), you get better damage than any spell you could dream of casting at level 3 or 4.

How about adding some possibility of doing the creation experimenting yourself? I mean, you get to "bombard some creations with energy" and then you might get all sorts of retarded creatures but could also get something new and powerful. So there would also be certain abilities that certain types of energy would give. So you could get Pyroroamers that daze nearby enemies, maybe a creation that casts some kind of spells, and all sorts of stuff, for example all the twisted creations you meet from time to time. Static Thahds and Unstable Drakons are cool :D And then you should record the way you did the experiment in case of a success, so you could be able to make more of them later. -------------------- In D&D there are lots of gods.

Oh yes, sorry, I didn't think of those canisters at the moment. Yup, they are indeed quite powerful. The point of joining the Awakened or Loyalists: LOYALISTS Led by a weak Shaper overcome by his conscience. But they are the Purest of the factions: the Awakened's research leader is a crazy and glowing Tuldaric. That's all the good, in terms of morality, there seems to be to them, unless all you desperately crave is an old man to be forgiven. I joined them at the start, but fortunately the Barzites were still eager to accept me. I think the point here is that you can more easierly shift between alleged factions: the 2 Shaper factions (B, L) or the two Servile (T,A) AWAKENED They are righteous, of course. Their claims are the most morally satisfying, and they aren't violent, power-crazed or mad. The downside here is Tuldaric the Madman... The creations they can offer are really rather pathetic, but you can actually get tier 3 creations from numerous other places even if you have already joined the Awakened. If you have enough leadership, you could learn from Fenen at the Radiant College, and you could also go to the Loyalist Encampment. Prices would be high though. And alas, you could shift from Awakened to Takers to satisfy your ever-growing hunger for power... (that is one of the things I like the game for. you really start to feel like, "Ahhhhh!
