Edit: OK, never mind, found what I was looking for literally a minute after posting. Ain't it always that way? ^_^ Edit 2: OK, never mind, I have another question. A while ago, before I registered and got the Orb of Thralni and all, I saw this chasm in the honeycomb. I think the sign said it was the "Grimklik Chasm", but I could be wrong. I could have sworn I saw some kind of building on the other side, too. I've come back to the honeycomb with the orb, but could never for the life of me find the chasm. Was I hallucinating that time or is this a real place? What's there?

I don't have a code for the editor… maybe it's on the CD. Edit: Hey, yeah, it is. Okay, cool. I'll try it. Edit 2: No such luck. The character doesn't know any of the spells I got earlier, plus she STILL crashes the game. *sigh* [ Saturday, June 17, 2006 09:37: Message edited by: Erika Maroonmark ] -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

(Avernum 1 is beating Avernum 3 AND 4! Yay!) I like the atmosphere of Avernum 1, too– there's a sense of complete novelty and exploration (for some reason, I feel like Exile 1 had it more, though). I kind of liked the whole "You're trapped in an underground world. Oh, crap, what are you going to do?!" feeling. I read somewhere that the secret of really good games is making the player feel like they have all the choice in the world, when actually they're doing things that advance the plot. Avernum 1 is like that: you can go anywhere (provided you're at a high enough level not to get killed). In the subsequent ones, you have a specific quest, even from the beginning (although, in Avernum 2, the initial quest is pretty unimportant). -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

Isn't the Grah-Hoth ritual the one where you wander around and find some mention of a ritual, but only after you've killed the guards, and the dialog box itself says something like "Whoops, everyone forgot all about it"? =D Edit: Oh, yeah, there is another one. I saw it in the game just now. ("Ritual of Safety"?!) ^_^ [ Friday, June 16, 2006 17:50: Message edited by: Erika Maroonmark ] -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

I'm at the battle in the Almaria warehouse, and every time I've tried it the game has unexpectedly quit (usually when a certain one of my characters casts a spell, but sometimes at other times as well). It's never done anything of the kind before. I restarted Classic, gave Exile II a bit more memory, and didn't do all the things you either can't do on Mac OS X or don't apply to me. I'm hesitant about reinstalling Exile II, though, since (as you can see from where I am) I'm registered. How do I reinstall it? Will my save file still work if I use the application on the CD? (Just making sure what exactly I have to do, before I screw something up. ^_^) (Edit: Tried it two more times, and whatever my second mage {6th char} does, it quits. Pretty much, that character coming "up to bat", as it were, spells disaster, unless it crashes before it's her turn, which it did once or twice.) Timeloop: I got the application off the CD but didn't delete anything that was on my computer; the same thing happened. Does that mean that it's the save file, which would mean that the games themselves are all right?

But aren't there any number of MP3 players that work with Windows? Will porting iTunes and iPods to Windows help Apple that much? Because if iTunes is so great, there's one less perk of having a Mac… [ Sunday, April 30, 2006 06:53: Message edited by: Erika Maroonmark ] -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

In Exile 2 and 3, when you go through a door, it opens. In Avernum, you can close them up again so that if you want to steal something from John Q. Public, you can without anyone seeing you. In Exile, looking at the door doesn't work like it does in Avernum– is it possible to close them? -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

My native language is English. Heh. Boring. XD I took German in school. I took AP German last year. I can read it pretty fluently, and write pretty well, since I know enough to get my point across if I don't know exactly how to say something, but it's way harder to do that spontaneously, while speaking. But I could probably function all right in a German situation. (I understood the original versions of those Avernum reviews that were in German. XD) -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi. Ambrin walks up to them and says, "Hey! It's the Triad!" Kelner snorts and says, "Pretty minor Triad if you ask me."

"Ritter" also happens to be the German word for "knight". So, if you're bilingual and/or language-interrupted, you might call Lancelot's alphabet block "Ritter's block". -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

It actually did stand for "Fixed His Typo", since it was a nested quote. (Don't ask me how my sense of logic works. It's crazy.
