Really anticipated ideas for A5?? in Avernum 4
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Friday, March 30 2007 21:00 Profile #93 Umm, whose phone number is that, Alo? If it is a phone number. ... So, after beta-testing both A4 and G4, my feedback to Jeff has been to request more keystroke shortcuts for everything. Anything that is done with great repetition needs a non mouse-reliant, streamlined way to execute. Selling items was ironically faster in the older Averna games because you could leave the mouse cursor in one place and rapid sell item after item as they sprung up in the list display. That was okay, I suppose. I get irritated fast when I have to mouse from item to item to item to item to item to item to item and click in just the right little corner to sell things off, something done with GREAT repetition in all these games. So, I pray twice daily to the gods of all that is holy and pure that A5 will include keystrokes to toggle through inventory and be able to sell item after item by hitting one key repeatedly or something of the like. Or do a group select in a capture window/box and be able to sell everything inside it at once. Or even sell all items from, say, slot 7 to slot 23, where you could type in 7 and 23 and convert everything in those slots to coin with one stroke of the Return key. Oh please. Anything besides point and click. Mouse usage = carpal tunnel and cursage. -S- -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00
LOST in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Friday, March 30 2007 20:48 Profile #33 Don't let it vex you. The show is a victim of its own success. I don't think the writers even have the answers either, because they appeared to be making it all up as they went. I thought initially Lost was some sort of cool mini-series. I don't think they expected to make it more than one season and probably had a basic arc and wrap-up in mind for the story. When it took off, they scrambled to make it into an endlessly ongoing story, which no longer has a coherent arc or purpose. It seems much like the X-Files in this regard. It strings you along endlessly. You wind up feeling cheated if you invest in caring to expect that it is all going to go somewhere or give you any real answers by the time they pull the plug. Again, the series is aptly named. It might have made a terrific miniseries. -S- -------------------- A4 Item Locations A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List The Insidious Infiltrator Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00

That may or may not be relevant at all, but there you go. ... I did not destroy any pylons this game except the ones in Matala's Workshop. They are darned annoying on Torment. I possibly could have gained one more level if I had destroyed all of the ones in the Warren, but not just with the six. I'll finish the post above and it will show what we did there. -S- EDIT: Chapter Five—Part One has been completed above.

The Insidious Infiltrator in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Thursday, March 29 2007 13:21 Profile #92 VALETA III Chapter Five—Part One: Brrr, Shouldn't I Be Wearing More? Valeta is forming a rough plan of action in her weary mind, as the path leads upwards to the east. Things are looking a bit bleak in the world, not unlike the sparse, frigid terrain she is now entering in the Grayghost Mountains. Valeta has had enough of the Drakons for the moment and decides to divert herself with scouring other promising territory. She completely cleans out the Windswept Farms by picking a fight with the intolerably petulant Thora Eyeball, who will not surrender his precious canisters to us. We will not let this pass—the nerve of some people to refuse us thusly. He scurries off like the coward he is, as his army emerges from its eerie hibernation. Val winds up fighting his unfrozen minions from the doorway of the lonely house, using lots of Daze and Charm to manage the Rots, Drayks, Glaahks, Vlish, and Clawbugs which surge forward in unending waves. And then they all lie still once more. The Windswept Farms are quiet again, and the wind is the only sound remaining, except for the muffled drip drip drip of strange-colored bloods from the tip of Val's blade into the newfallen snow—not that she used her blade much. Now she hunts down the elusive Eye with a heart as cold as the snow into which its bloated corpse noisily thunders, as she sends it plummeting from the sky, putting it forever out of our misery. We failed to photo-document this event, but truly it happened just so. Val takes the dead Eye's key and helps herself to the two canisters she finds on the premises: Create War Trall and Mass Restoration, neither of which she ever puts to use. She pawns off his Charmed Falchion. No one seems to know what good Luck is in this game anyway. We make our own luck. Valeta heads back to Derenton for a brief refresher, then gets on with the inevitable task at hand. She shivers as she approaches the somber Grayghost Gates of the Drakons. She scurries through the nooks and crannies of this reptile-infested hovel, tolerating the stench just long enough to thieve a canister of Essence Armor past some traps. As well as putting her Stealth ability to the test slipping unseen to the very back of the Drakon quarters and stealing the last of the Infiltrator gear from a lockbox. She lingers here no longer than necessary, for her real interest lies to the south. Valeta slips out of the crowded Grayghost Gates into the eerie snow-blanketed Frostwood. The peaceful isolation is soon shattered as it becomes apparent we are not alone here. Val encounters this motley crew of Kyshakks and Battle Betas and begins to find herself feeling more vulnerable than she has prior in this game. The shift in difficulty from Burwood to Grayghost is noticeable. Several battles in Frostwood take her more than one attempt to accomplish intact. If she does not execute control over skirmishes precisely, she does die. Either that or I was just in a more careless mood during this phase, being too aggressive and not using more Mass Madness for control. Either way, at this point, I was wishing for more Strength for her to wear some better armor. She finds that approaching the denizens of the woods and luring one or two off at once is safer than rushing into a crowd of three Wingbolts and two Betas at once. She's used to being more bold. But there is a time for caution and stealth, and she is built to execute it after all. The toughest fight in Frostwood proves to be Eye Herzfeld, who carries a posse of Rotghroths in tow. It's not that the ol' Eyeball himself is so tough, but managing the rots long enough to get at him too takes some micromanagement. We do have some luck Dazing or even Charming them. In this case, Val recruits a wandering Beta who happened along just in time to help us out. After two or three play-rounds with the Eye, Val gets medieval on Herzzie's heiny and finally removes him and his rotten retinue from the premises. The other groups of Kyshakks and Wingbolts throughout the wood aren't quite so difficult, as long as Val takes out the peripheral creations first and uses some liberal doses of Mass Madness and Charm to even up the sides a bit more. Then she turns off the six pylons so she can gain access to the Breeding Pits beyond. She also helps herself to the much appreciated Mass Madness canister Herzfeld had stashed back in his lair. She finds Sod's Dancing Pants a little less useful, though if you ask me, she really could use some pants in all this snow. Those clanky greaves are drafty!

I assure you you are most mistaken on this point. Love and intimacy can never be rated highly enough. There is nothing more important or rewarding for a human being. Life is about human relationships and making meaningful ones. You don't even really have your own personality except in context to and in relationship with other people. If you haven't had any happy relationships, it's still worth working for and finding. -S- -------------------- A4 Item Locations A4 Singleton G4 Items List G4 Forging List The Insidious Infiltrator Posts: 2009 \| Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00

LOST in General
Synergy Shaper Member # 6292	written Wednesday, March 28 2007 20:16 Profile #15 I liken it to the X-Files, which also ultimately wrote itself hopelessly into corners and never really quite went anywhere. I LOST interest after the first season after which it seemed to have LOST its own sense of purpose or resolution. It didn't help that it started to feel suspiciously more and more like a soap opera either. Still, it was more interesting than most other standard television fare, though that is saying precious little. I'd rather watch Ghost Hunters and South Park. -S- P.S.
