I don't find the wheel to open the grate in Avernum 4

I was trying to get the oozing sword. There was another fine waveblade near the very end. All of these end-of-game artifacts are very nice, in fact! :)

Yeah - I just found out I was supposed to keep a fine waveblade and a platinum ring. I hope there are some ahead of me since I sold all the ones I came across so far... (unless someone is selling a waveblade. I think someone does sell a platinum ring)

When you talk to the chitrach tunnel-watching Lieutenant near Fort Remote, he says the undead are to the west. Again, they are to the east.

There is a road sign in the Great Cave near the Avernite soldiers who tell you about the other Avernite soldiers hunting Chitrachs. It's south of Kraig's mine.

Anyway, the sign says Patrick's Tower is to the southwest but the tower is more like due east.

It also says that Fort Remote is south when southwest would be better, but that's being picky.

Yes, it's the place near X with 2 doors locked
I don't understand why there are areas which cannot be visited and doors not opened... It means that the game is not finished ? :confused:
I don't know why you would conclude that. Maybe it was put there just to frustrate adventurers!

Exactly. Daunting (it was to me at least), but that's how it is.

Bandit Castle in Avernum 4

As long as we're talking about these bandits, this is on topic. Is there any benefit to letting Bragg escape? I thought at first it would change the story at the end of the game, but now I think it just lets you skip the combat. I haven't quite made it to the very end; I just assassinated the queen of Spire.

I read somewhere there are several major plot forks, and I thought this might be one of them (or I could be wrong about the plot forks).

Moral dilemmas in Avernum 4

There's a guard in Formello permanently blocking a box of javelins. Not exactly worth the moral angst.

Has anyone ever tried to genocide the world of Avernum? Kill every living thing?

Dialogues in Avernum 4

I see where you're coming from. Often the dialogue does change. The guy with the fake Demonbane DOES say something different when you show up with Demonbane. After you beat the local baddie, the dialogue does reflect it (like when you kill Hrickis (sp)). The normal conversational stuff (why did your family come to Avernum, etc.) could stand to change over time, but the fact that the minor details are attended to is enough for me.

'Real' Area spells in Avernum 4? in Avernum 4

I thought lightning spray was well done. It is like the multi-target spells in Exile but more realistic (except for its fickle nature in picking targets). That, and it's really strong.

Fort Remote (SPOILERS!) in Avernum 4

There's a "long way" for getting to the wolf tunnel. If you had the key, you could go through that door, but without it you have to descend a stairway, fight a Vahantai warrior (and run past 2 pylons), and you end up in the same place.

Basically, when you open that door there are 2 stairwells. The long way I described spits you out at the top of the other stairs so you can continue just like you opened the door with the key.

Hello. This is my first post.

I registered just so I can report my problem, but then I started up Avernum 4 to get the exact error message, and now everything works fine! I'm using v1.0 on mac OS 10.4.3.

Anyway, the message was along the lines of "can't load zone script [scriptname.txt]". It happened around the ruins NE of fort remote and again when I left fort remote to the west. The Vahnatai warriors there didn't attack me (I now know they were supposed to). I think it also happened in the scree caves a couple times.

I had reinstalled A4, repaired permissions, and restarted the computer, but these steps didn't help. But this morning it all works, so I guess something happened to fix it.

I only hope I haven't missed an event. Will the event play if I go back to those areas? For the Fort Remote area I never saved the game so these events play when I visit for the first time. However, for the other areas, they are long since cleared out. If it happens again, I'll provide better details.
