When you announced Nethergate 2 and Avernum 5, I started to get a little worried I was never going to play BoA again, as it doesn't work on Mac OS 10.4.8 at the moment.

Happy holidays Jeff, come back in one piece.

It workes on 10.4.8. It works for me any way. It's a PPC game but intel iMacs have Rosetta so it shouldn't be a problem.

10.4.8 for Intel included Rosetta updates that inexplicably make BoA, and to a lesser extent A1-3, run quite slowly.

It might bear mentioning that Nethergate 2.0 should not be confused with Nethergate 2. No need to give the troops false hope.

-S-

False hope? How could there possibly ever be a Nethergate 2? The ending of the first one was rather final. :P

Nether Arts in Nethergate

So, I'm playing Nethergate again for the umpteenth time (surprise, surprise), and I just finished finding all the Nether Arts spells. I do this every time I play, but I really wonder if it's worth the bother. I mean, if you pump your druidism high enough, Darts of Ice or Soul Lance are better than Clouds of Night and uses fewer SP. I've used Create Elixer a few times when I'm really in a bind, but I hate doing it because of the lost skill points. I rarely ever bother with summoning spells of any sort, so Wind Warriors and Call Hunt usually just sit there looking pretty on my spell list. When you get right down to it, Miraculous Revival is the only truly useful spell.

It seems to me that the much-vaunted Nether Arts spells that are supposedly ultra-powerful are overrated. Anyone else find this to be true?

I've ignored this for the longest time, but it's really starting to get on my nerves. Mac is not an acronym and should not capitalized as such. It is merely an abbreviation of Macintosh.

Hmm, that's actually a good analogy. Spam is rather similar to steroids. Addictive, dangerous, and a BANNED substance.

Spam won't get you banned. It will get you canned but not banned.

To spam!
