Dikiyoba can lick Dikiyoba's tongue (without relying on the roof of Dikiyoba's mouth). But Dikiyoba can't lick Dikiyoba's elbows.

...removal of retarded annoyances as weight limits...
The weight limit is still present, just different. I actually found it more annoying than the Avernum Trilogy's weight limit and, for some reason, more annoying than Geneforge's weight limit, even though the weight limits in A4 and Geneforge work the same way.

Dikiyoba misses the feeling of satisfaction in the Avernum Trilogy that comes from having all four characters who have a weight limit of 200 pounds walk out of a dungeon with 199 pounds. It's possible in A4 but it's not quite the same.

Edit: Fixed quote

Finding Mind Azzo Crystals and Dock ruins in Geneforge Series
Councilor
Member # 6600
Profile Homepage #1
This is for Geneforge 1, right?

Mind Azzo's crystals are all special items. A dialog box will pop up when you find one. Just search in chests, pots, etc. in the power plant and core. Check your journal under special items to see how many you currently have (or just go talk to Mind Azzo after finding a few).

The dock ruins can be "cleared" in many ways. You will know when it is time to clear it, depending on the sect that you are allied with. Odds are, you won't clear it until the very end of the game, unless you are very good at combat.

Dikiyoba hopes you didn't spend too long attempting that! It is, in fact, intentional gibberish. Except for the "d" at the beginning, and that was just to make an alliteration.

Question 2: Imbalance of Wealth in General
Councilor
Member # 6600
Profile Homepage #91
Why should we solve poverty if we could? Self-preservation (or at least, preservation of a high-standard of living). The odds of falling into poverty or having someone you care about fall into poverty is too great to do otherwise. If poverty suddenly no longer exists, it's no longer an issue.

I don't know about the RW games, but I must say that Homeland is classified as a computer virus, so don't download it. It not only damages your PC but also gives you significant mental problems.
Uh-oh. Does that mean that The Lurker is actually a virus as well? Or are the resulting mental problems just that severe?

The only problem with RW games is that they give you implants. Or at least activate them.

Dikiyoba just finished up with Act 2 with five more scenes. Fortunately, all are longer than Act 2, Scene 2 is.

The same thing appears in [the BoA scenario] Valley of the Dying Things, except with mobile fungi instead of cockroaches.

Dikiyoba wonders which are more disgusting: giant cockroaches or giant fungi?

They make great listeners, though. (And Dikiyoba has never had an inanimate object break into uproarious laughter while Dikiyoba was yelling at it angrily. People, on the other hand...)

Just like in Geneforge 2 saving up all the spell books and canisters until after you've met the trainer. Borrrrr-ing.
I actually have fun with that. But then again, I make it part of my character's personality, rather than just a pure gaming tactic.

Dikiyoba thinks that holding off on quests isn't worth it, since some quests won't be given to the party until previous quests are completed.

Dikiyoba is testing sig links...

They work (at least for me). I finally found the time to restructure the website. (Although it is now websites. Stupid 20 page limit!) I finally found the time to put up Act 2, Scenes 1 and 2 as well, and will hopefully have the time to write more soon.

So, your secret hideout doesn't have any air conditioning installed yet? You may have to take off that helmet for a while to cool down a bit. Unless, of course, you are flame or lava based and so maintaining a high temperature is a good thing.

I have some concern that the amount of talky interaction in the game will cost me hack-n-slash gamer money, and this bums me out, but it ended up being the sort of game I wanted to write, so here we are.

Don't be too bummed out. There are some gamers who would be more willing to pay for talky interaction than for a pure hack-n-slash.

Dikiyoba thinks all the information revealed so far sounds excellent.

Dikiyoba thought of one more person to stereotype...

I will be very surprized if someone gets it, though. :)
