Slartucker is gone, but most BoA designers (or at least people who can design) can help you. Not many have an exact copy of the file as changed by Slartucker, though, so please tell us what exactly you want.

It keeps ginger from relying on poor people like you. And also encouraging people like ginger to read responses to their posts.

It's good to read threads after you post in them. Sometimes, there're nice suprises and useful information.

No.

I blame peer pressure.
GONE SWIMMING IN A WHITE T-SHIRT?
Yes.
BEEN TO A NUDE BEACH?
No.
BEEN CHEATED ON?
No.
BEEN WALKED IN ON WHILE YOU WERE DRESSING?
Yes, by family members. Also, this is sort of relevant - I was changing in the school locker room when my math teacher (who happens to coach football and baseball) passed by and started talking to me about the math test I had taken earlier that day.
BOUGHT SOMETHING WAY TOO EXPENSIVE?
Yes. My dad yelled at me.
PLAYED STRIP ANYTHING?(and you know who you are, plz don't lie :P )
I cite the Spin-the-Bottle response.
PUNCHED YOUR PARENT?
No.
GONE TO SLEEP NAKED?
No.
RAN AWAY FROM HOME?
No.
WORE YOUR PAJAMAS IN PUBLIC?
I have no pajamas.
DANCED IN YOUR UNDERWEAR IN FRONT OF SOMEONE?
No.
MADE UP A FAKE IDENTITY WHEN YOU MET SOMEONE?
Yes, but I haven't maintained a fake identity for a while.
BEEN IN LOVE?
No.
GOTTEN A HICKEY?
No.
SLEPT IN A BED WITH A MEMBER OF THE SAME SEX /OPPOSITE SEX?
There was this one time when a school club I was part of was doing this two-day cancer fundraiser. We stayed up too late and by the time we were going to sleep, no one cared where they crashed. So I slept with both sexes at the same time. Hooray.
HATED THE WAY YOU LOOK?
I hate my curly hair.
CRIED YOURSELF TO SLEEP?
Nope, I've tried though. I can make myself cry.

No.

I've never had the opportunity to find out.

No.
SEEN A GHOST?
No.
CRIED IN PUBLIC?
No.
BEEN HIT BY A PARENT?
No.
ATE DOG/CAT FOOD?
No. But I've had sunflower seeds and I know my birds eat sunflower seeds...
WALKED INTO A WALL AND/OR DOOR?
Sometimes, my doorknob jams while it's being turned. So by the time you notice that the door is still in your way, you've hit the thing. As for walls, I was once listening in on this group of girls which was discussing the looks of the boys in the class when my leg got caught on a backpack strap. I later tried to move and didn't get very far.

Go to Shayder on the Isle of Bigail. Talk to the innkeeper until the conversation turns toward the shifty man in the corner. Make sure she tells you that he's looking for some help. Then talk to the man about the package.

I'm guessing that you've done this in Exile but not Avernum, right?

I can't tell you how to align the mirrors, but I can provide you with a link to a site for helpful walkthroughs.

As for the doomguard, I suggest that you run up, shatter the crystal, and then run away. Don't stick around to kill the Doomguard copies, just let all three groups kill each other.

If you really want to defeat the Doomguard, do this: haste, bless, and shield your strongest character, and then have them hit the original Doomguard over and over. Don't have mages or archers attack the Doomguard or its copies.

You could ask Thralni for tips if PgDn doesn't work out for you.

They're very early screenshots. However, there's a lot of things that we can tell will probably make it into the game right now. For example, the Kyshakk wil probably be a new creation that can be made. We can see what kind of graphics the new PCs will have.

It doesn't matter how early we get the graphics. You might as well ask us why we speculate at all.

I suspect that the human's graphics aren't done yet and so Jeff is using a Shaper graphic in the meantime.

It's obviously not a 3rd tier creation because the PC runs into one for the first time at level 8. Also, in the second picture, the PC has exactly 100 coins, indicating that it is so early in the game that the PC hasn't even had a chance to pick up or spend any money.

A Comparison of Three Dialogue Systems:
----
1) So, yeah. There's these goblins and they're hiding in some sort of stereotypical abandoned mine, would you go slaughter them without remorse? The reward would be great.
Goblins?
Mine?
Reward?

2) So, yeah. There's these goblins and they're hiding in some sort of stereotypical abandoned mine, would you go slaughter them without remorse? The reward would be great.
Can you tell me more about the Goblins?
Why is the mine abandoned?
What sort of a reward would there be?

The keyword system is not a good approximation of natural language, can cause people to miss essential details (though not in Nethergate), and might lower your sperm count.

I suspect it's a Slovenian word which describes ADoS not too nicely.

In Geneforge, monsters cannot use items because they have no inventories. You can script in effects, but the monsters will still drop whatever they were set to drop.

The CD it was installed from was a holiday special featuring the whole trilogy that worked on both Mac and PC. I could try and dig it up again to reinstall, but I doubt I'd find it, and I don't think my save file would be fixed - the monsters in question wouldn't retroactively spawn.
This is probably the problem. You should probably redownload the game from SpidWeb itself.
