I haven't seen GF4 yet, but playing a melee guardian is different then the other types. Melee means getting the monsters stunned so you have time to close with them. Since most monsters that will really hurt you have ranged attacks you need to balance it out. Agents and missle guardians have great range attacks. Shapers depend upon their creations. Using battle shaping is the closest to melee guardians. In GF3 the changing of weapons in quick slots is now only 1 AP instead of 3 AP for getting something from the backpack. So switching between melee and missle weapons is easier. It increased the options. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I don't think it maxs out so much as the difference per level isn't that much compared to random variation per level. As you go up in levels you need the higher spells since you are getting more damage. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

You have to choose the definition you want. Remember how Clinton played with semantics when he was questioned? Of course he was a lawyer, so don't try this at home. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Even if Google hasn't reached godhood yet it is growing in power so by some definitions it will get there. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Shaping skills will increase all four stats and start your creation at a higher level than using up essence to raise just one stat by putting everything into intelligence. There are limits so raising a shaping skill past 10 doesn't do as much. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Use the tab key to identify people. Seli moves about so you might miss him. Also you need to have done an earlier quest before he sends you to the Swamp Fort. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

There are probably copies of the older versions around, but convincing Jeff to post links probably won't happen. Still it would be nice for an archive for those people who want to know how things used to be. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

quote:Budget has nothing to do with it. If the writing isn't good then SFX (special effects) will only get you so far. Ask the people that hated the recent Star Wars movies. Quark while it was only on one season had some great writing and parodies of other sci-fi shows. You could see the money was never spent on sets or SFX. It also had a great exchange in a Star Wars parody. "Is the source dangerous?" "Only if he's on your side." Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Baseball is considered boring because of the small ratio between actual game playing and the total game length. I guess any game where you aren't a fanatic will qualify. Some people hate soccer because of the low scoring. *"I watched a whole game and nobody scored"* Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

You have to determine whether the new creation will have higher stats than one that has been around from earlier in the game. Usually if you have raised your shaping level, gotten certain items, and/or more levels with that creation the new creature will be more powerful for the same essence cost. Just save the file before absorbing and see which one is better. Most people seem to be sentimental about older creations. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Since one of the requirements is a variety of different Mac computers and operating systems it depends upon whether you fill a gap. If you have one that no one else has you probably got a better chance of being accepted even without testing experience. The part about not being told no is irritating since you are never certain when Jeff has enough new testers. Waiting for the announcement of the release isn't the best solution.

For those of you that haven't read What's New: Call for Beta testers This should reduce the complaints about those lucky people that got to be in the first round. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

At least you recognize that you make mistakes. Some people go through life with the infallibilty of the Pope or the view that even if I'm wrong it doesn't make a difference. Your professor is trying to get people to think about what he is saying and not blindly accept everything to regurgitate it back for exams. Most philosophies have some flaws or contradictions that made critical thinking important. You'll probably have a point early in the class where you have to argue against something that you are taught. It will come down to your ability to find reasons why what you heard is wrong.

quote:The bad effects are mostly in the original series which came out after Star Wars IV. Babylon 5 had better special effects. It also considered the grand scheme as there were 5 major races and even more political factions all fighting for control. Having the creator control the scripts made it possible for little things in one episode to have greater effects in later episodes. It was a strain to have one person doing so much but it made for better continuity. Many shows are criticized for later writers making mistakes by not knowing what had happened in earlier episodes.

I think Jeff wants to keep Avernum 5 in Avernum instead of the Empire. Although some day he should get back to the surface to deal with the Darkside Loyalists. It would be nice to go back to the surface for a real adventure and not fighting plagues. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Use the staircases from inside Patrick's Tower to help orient yourself. You have to use an outside access to get to the demon you want. When you see the area you explored on the map screen then you know that you are near the one you want. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Nethergate is closer in style to Avernum. It is fun since you have two view points and styles of play. The Romans have less access to magic and the Celts have less armor. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

If you go through Avernum/Exile 1 there are a few mages mentioned as apprentices to the main group of Erika and Solberg, X and Patrick that formed the first triad. Rone was also from that group but served in the Castle. I think Linda was a later group with the other mages at the Tower of Magi. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I've only played Torment level so I can't tell you the difference in levels. However if you died that many times you might be doing something wrong besides going into areas over your party level. It's real easy to die in Geneforge if you don't pay attention. You can get swarmed by monsters and die quickly. Geneforge allows you to bypass some combat areas and use stealth or diplomacy to get through the game. Check out Strategy Central for a discussion of different character types that are played in Geneforge 3. Most of the advice can be used in earlier games.

For the fighter type characters you need to maximize your damage since you start running into magic resistant monsters. The worst is the rakshasa where you buff your fighter and send him up to slay it. Golems, Empire Wizards, and a few other are almost as bad. Assasination usually needs to get above 10 to give you a good chance against all monsters. I found that defense doesn't matter as much when you face magic casting monsters that always hit, The best defense is to kill them before they can hit you.
