Does anyone use thrown weapons in AV4? in Avernum 4

Yes! Use throwing weapons!

The trick is, to cache them around various locations where you are questing. When battle is over, load down your party with every throwing weapon you can carry and haul it to your cache. A barrel, or a crate, or something. Anything. And then just keep a few on your extra strong fighter.

When battle begins, pepper a mage or a particulary strong foe with lances or disks... Which can easily do 50 or 60 damage a shot. Or more. When battle is done and you are carting armor and such back to town, load up on any throws in left in the area and cart them back to your cache, or, reload on your way back out to the boonies after selling off your valuables.

Edited for glaring typo.

I am going to vote for this thread with a padlock. This is the Avernum IV section. You must have made a mistake, because this is most certainly not the Exile 4 section.

And since there will never be an Exile 4, there will never be an Exile 4 section.

As an aside. Purgatos got that information to make the Phoenix egg from a "visitor" and he was told to use it to help you.

The Quickfire trap in the giant's cave was probably left there by Rentar.

Petrie in Blackcrag might have a spellbook that you can read to learn Quickfire, but it doesn't mean that he knows how to cast it.

One of my favourite things to do in Exile 3 was block off the main chamber in Rentar's fortress with barriers, and before putting the last one in place, casting Quickfire. Stuff would be getting fried as I worked my way forward.

I am not so sure I want Erika back as a lich either. I was just saying it seems odd that somebody so powerful had no contingencies in place for the moment of her death.

Erika cannot be a two bit mage because, according to Encyclopedia Emarian, she was possibly the only person ever to create quickfire. In A3, in her tower, there is a quickfire trap guarding some drakeskin gloves which pretty much proves it.
Thank you for proving my point.

So her death was just a poorly executed plot device that just doesn't make sense.

Would be nice if there was some means of restoring her in AVV.

My own thoughts.

Erika Redmark and her whole death is just insulting to the player.

To have a mage that powerful, with that much arcane lore, that can zap her self through time and space, like she did to assist the adventurers in E/A3, and for her to not have a contingency for her own death just strikes me as being somehow wrong. Her curse was intended for the living if you get my drift. Somebody as powerful as Erika could have easily turned her self in to a Lich at the moment of her death, and would have probably gotten away with it too. Exile/Avernum would have left her alone and continue with her undead existance.

On the other hand, maybe Erika was really just some two bit mage with a flair for theatrics and made her self out to be far more powerful than she really was, and her death was the ultimate moment of truth. All of her power was a sham.

As it has been said to many times now, there are still secret passages.

They stay secret until somebody tells you about them, or if your luck allows you to find one.

What is the point of a secret passage if any random person could find it? Not terribly secret is it?

Seconded.

With a little luck, it seems everybody and everything drops gold necklaces and other baubles. Bling bling makes the cash register go ding ding.

Once again, I will not tell you where my nipples are.

The reason being is, once a person figures out how to find Vlish nipples, humans try to suckle on them so they can talk in a squeaky helium voice.

Edit.

We are not balloons!

I was endlessly amused by the description that Jeff had included about how Vlish don't taste good, because they were designed that way. What if Shapers created a delicious Vlish for a fine dining experience? Said Vlish, being a mind reader, would surely know it's fate and go rogue.

That, and I felt that the Vlish was a truly original creature.

In G1, people talked about Dryaks this, and Cryodryaks that, and I was sort of hung up on the Vlish. And then I found out how stupidly powerful they can be when leveled up and taken to the endgame. Terror Vlish especially. I was facinated with them.
