Right, so I beat the game once and now I am going to go back on a harder difficulty. In the first run, my characters ended up as levels 33, 32, 31 and 34 and what I am wondering now is what is the most efficient mix of traits to put on a character. I imagine having no traits doesn't help you much, as that XP that you will not be denied will only mean you will hit the level wall earlier, and with no nifty traits. So, what I want to determine is what XP penalty a character can bear and still acheive the average maximum level for beating the game. -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence.

What I found about the AI that made the whole game much less tedious, and perhaps more interesting, is that you can do much like you do in MMORPGs and hate manage. Critters will usually attack either what's right in front of them, or the poor S.O.B. who last hit them. You can even get some monsters to bounce back and forth between two ranged attackers so that they never get to use their full attack, in the meantime having a melee harangue them as they bounce. Of course, ranged enemies are a different story, but I still found this tactic useful. -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence.

So, I chose to beat the ever-living hell out of Rentar, because her fortresses wore down my patience. That being said, do the other dialogue choices actually lead to different endings in which I don't shatter that annoying witch? -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence.

Listen, all I have heard is negativity about this game on here--but it isn't a bad game at all. I certainly lament the loss of puzzles, but I don't agree that the plot has degraded from the other games. I enjoyed the story, just like I have enjoyed the stories from all the other mainline Avernum games. I liked most of the skill revisions which occurred and the most of the combat. What really irked me at times were some of the boss fights, namely Dorikas. -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence.

Yeah, so I have wiped out everything in Khoth's Lair, flexing my party's scholarly muscles in understanding the dragon script. After reading Khoth's translation tome, I thought the encounter text said I just had to go back to what's-her-head back in Fort Monastery and I would be done. But, lo and behold I got back and she told me to translate the scrolls, because the suspense was killing her already; but how do I do that? -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence.

Right, well I may be stupid, but I can't seem to find a way into the Spire Fort. I've missed something really obvious haven't I? -------------------- But honor is like the undead: it requites constant attention and frequent violence. Posts: 7 | Registered: Saturday, December 24 2005 08:00 |
