'Real' Area spells in Avernum 4? in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:46 Profile Homepage #12 So Lighting Spray is really the Searing Orbs of Geneforge, isn't it? Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Long Distance Traveling in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:40 Profile Homepage #11 I don't think giant lizards are a good choice. It seems that there are occasional enounters in previous Avernum games where the giant lizards pulling the wagons kill the merchants. If they can kill something while harnassed to a cart, it would be too easy for them to kill riders. Besides, why do you need giant lizards, GIFTS, worgs, or pylons when there are teleportals? Dikiyoba can't think of anything else to add at the moment. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Unique Item Locations. in Avernum 4
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:34 Profile Homepage #27 Originally by Synergy: quote: Runed Jade Necklace — Terror Aranea — Rentar’s Keep Venomous Blade — Seno-Ihrno — Rentar’s Keep Robe of the Magi — Garzahd (undead) — Rentar’s Keep Hero’s Necklace — Vyvnas Bok — Rentar’s Keep Crystalline Plate — Vahnatai Lord — Rentar’s Keep Those last few items aren't really that useful, are they? Isn't Rentar's Keep the last place in the game? Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Shaper Crypt in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:21 Profile Homepage #6 I think you only need one Crescent Stone to open the crypt. Am I remembering wrong? The crescent thahds/shades do not always drop a crescent stone (and you'd probably notice if it did). You may have to kill it again to get the stone. Dikiyoba. Edit: I checked the Shaper Crypt script. I'm almost positive you only need one crescent stone.

Living Tools Record! in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:18 Profile Homepage #3 I easily get over 100 living tools in G1 thanks to a high mechanics skill and the patience to wait before unlocking doors to increase the mechanics skill or to find keys. I don't think it's 150 and it's not G3, but I'll keep track of the number I have at the end of my current game. Dikiyoba does not exploit the living tool bug in G1.

Dikiyoba thinks that if UBB bugs decide to delete accounts, they ought to at least delete the accounts of people who aren't around anymore. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Best musician or composer in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 15:04 Profile Homepage #55 quote: Originally written by Thralni, chicken god prophet: *Anybody here actually listen to some of the older bands, like Abba and the like? the may be old, abba, but their music is great! Ahem, that's my opinion. yes.* I sometimes listen to the first ATeens CD, which is all Abba songs. So, er, sort of... Dikiyoba mostly listens to the Lord of the Rings soundtracks and shocked some of Dikiyoba's friends the only day by listening to music with lyrics. Besides the obvious "That song has words!" they were speechless. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
How do I install Avernum 4? in Tech Support
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Wednesday, January 4 2006 14:45 Profile Homepage #12 Originally by ahninjas: quote: So why am I having trouble? All of the Macs I've ever used until now were school property. I've never installed anything on a Mac before, except for Creative Suite 2, which didn't really require any input from me. They don't let students install anything on school computers, for fear of the student messing something up (oddly enough, I've crashed every school Mac I've ever touched at least once) Ah, school computers. Everything is disabled. (Once even Microsoft Word was disabled. What do you do on a computer if even word processing is off-limits?) I've found that the more restrictions placed on something, the more problems those restrictions create. And it's stupid, because the people who are likely to cause problems with figure a way around the restrictions. Dikiyoba. Edit: Spelling.

Geneforge 3 Review in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:58 Profile Homepage #6 I think I remember that. Well, that should make it very interesting if that really is the case. Dikiyoba shall be skeptical but optimistic. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
About a older (not yet found) thread in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:53 Profile Homepage #53 Al Queda isn't the real danger. Everyone knows PETA and Quakers are the real threats to democracy. Or maybe it's the people who think that anything is okay as long as it "stops" another terrorist attack. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
Runescape anyone? in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:35 Profile Homepage #382 I don't think Andraste was trying to hint that everyone asks for meat but rather, asking for meat is one of the few things to set people off.

Geneforge 3 Review in Geneforge Series
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, January 2 2006 20:22 Profile Homepage #2 I haven't played beyond the demo in G3, but after what I read in the scripts, I think we need a G4. But that G4 should be a huge, climatic game that wraps the rebellion against the Shapers up. Either one goes pro-Shaper and the Shapers regain total control, one goes anti-Shaper and the rebels take control, or one joins a third Awakened-like sect where Shapers win but hvae to make concessions. There's only so long series can go on. In my opinion, G1 is a stand- alone, and G2 and G3 go together, so G4 should commplete the trilogy. Dikiyoba hasn't played A4 yet (downloading issues with the Mac, must wait for Windows...), so Dikiyoba can't say whether A5 is needed or a horribly bad idea. But Dikiyoba thinks it is time for a new series. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

What is Scribbane? in The Avernum Trilogy
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, January 2 2006 15:02 Profile Homepage #9 got any skribbane? Plzz dude has posted exactly two posts so far, both about how wonderful skribbane is. Given that and the fact that the name and sig both relate to skribbane, I think got any skribbane? Plzz dude has a serious obsession with skribbane. I think one can safely say that skribbane messes up your real life, too. Dikiyoba says skribbane messes up your real life too. Edit: Sig change.

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Monday, January 2 2006 14:56 Profile Homepage #6 I think, with dialog boxes, it's standard to have everything be recordable except for basic things like locked doors and pushing buttons and stuff.

If I Could Make My Own Fantasy Game... in General
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, January 1 2006 21:38 Profile Homepage #57 I think that would be what they are trying to do now, since arghhhhhhhhh has never shown any inclination to improve his posting skills. Dikiyoba politely asks arghhhhhhhhh to start heeding others suggestions, especially since they just want you to follow the code of conduct that everyone else follows. If you follow the code of conduct, you won't have to worry about being banned. It's better to use the system to your advantage than to try and beat it.

Active Players? in Blades of Avernum
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, January 1 2006 16:59 Profile Homepage #46 A Small Rebellion and A Perfect Forest both take place on an island. Are there any others? I'd emphasize the "wind-swept" through area descriptions as opposed to the "mysterious." Edit: Where'd the final line go? Dikiyoba will just type it again. Dikiyoba.

Druids of Krell bugs in Blades of Avernum
Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Sunday, January 1 2006 16:47 Profile Homepage #6 Great. It isn't that bad of a scenario, especially if all the bugs get fixed. Some of the graphics are stunning (for Avernum). The only thing the scenario really needs is a sequel. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00
