Or just kill the gremlin and get a few extra experience points (20% of almost nothing) and sell the gremlin wine. It all depends on your morals. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Since Jeff tweaks each games spells, skills, etc., it would be to start each game fresh and not be unbalanced with a high level character that is missing something or has spells that are not used in the next game. Besides if you need a boost that badly wait until there is a character editor or trainer to change your character. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

If you put some points to missle weapons or dexterity (in GF3) you can do some decent damage with batons and crystals. This means you don't have to rely on your creations as much. See the threads about the Bullseye Shaper and Dexterous Agent. You should have Mechanic at 5 or 6 in most games since you get free experience unlocking doors and the items behind them.

quote:Which teleporter? There are several in the game. There is one between the Vahnatai lands and the Tower of the Magi. The main portal in the Tower of the Magi requires certain codes to activate it. Then there are a few that will only allow one character to use it and you have to pick the character number that you will send through it. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

In the late '80s, Might and Magic II allowed for transfering Might and Magic I characters into the game. But they stripped out all the items so you didn't have much to show except higher levels. You still had to gain equipment and all the new special skills. Also they added extra player classes that you could only get from the start. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The Dead Sea scrolls are from a period contemperous with the time of Jesus. They contain both religious texts and correspondence written in Hebrew, so you have dates in which Hebrew was in common usage for daily life. At some point Hebrew and Aramaic were both in use in Jewish religious services. The evidence for this is that the Yom Kippur evening opening prayer, Kol Nidre, is in Aramaic even though the rest of the prayers are in Hebrew and the local language. At some point Aramaic was used enough to have been used in services and this prayer survives in the original language and not a translation into Hebrew. There was probably a debate about using the local language in addition to Hebrew similar to the Catholic Church's one about replacing the Latin Mass with the local language.

I didn't like the dialog choices, maybe because it reminded me of the Anama from Exile3/Avernum 3. While you might agree with some of them, the actions of each group left something to be desired. I would like to see more of an effect for stealing. I know it's easy to steal without being seen, but they should notice the thefts eventually. You could build up a reputation of being in the area where they occur and merchants will raise their prices to compensate for losses in the towns after a certain number occur in the game. Since most thefts are at the beginning or are for major items it will make your actions more thoughtful. I like the idea that your actions decide your alignment with the groups. It will be fun to find the new path. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

In the Tower of Magi quest for the demon, just acid spray him and leave the room. When he summons friends, a few lightning sprays will clear the area. Nothing that you cab't do after the Eastern Gallery. Dispel barrier spell is useful for going back and finishing the Honeycomb. There are some great items behind that barrier. Also in Fort Dranlon and a few other places are a few more items that aren't accessible to piercing crystals. You can play the game without it, but you miss out on the extras.

I'm still grinding through GF2 so I haven't voted. I like agents except for having to creep forward in combat mode all the time to get first strike, At least as a shaper I get to wait until contact with the enemy usually. I'm still trying out different creations, but seeing them stronger than most of my characters is annoying. Shapers can be fun if you have missle weapons skill.

It's an attempt to balance out the game to counteract whatever great ideas players come up with. After the thread on Bullseye Shaper you can expect that missle weapons will be less effective. Players were dealing out too much damage so the weapons are weaker. I think crystals will go next since they have high damage and low action points. You can get two attacks without hasting and even more hasted and with action point bonus items get up to 5 attacks, Pile them on and even a shaper can clear the field like a high level agent.

Just start with a minor disaster that traps a remote village from the rest of Avernum. Your party was "volunteered" to find a new route back to the main cave system. You have a base and can explore through different levels. Give lots of false routes and side trips that take you away from the desired route.

Customized spellcaster that has mage 5/priest 5 gives you more free spells at the start. It really depends upon what your total party will look like. In Avernum 1 you could customize a mage to start with lightning spray and have a few priest levels. Then max out a priest to get I think unshackle mind (maybe mass healing) and a few mage levels. This would give greater attack strength and healing ability than a pre-made party. In Avernum 2 and later there was a limit on the highest level spells that you could start with no matter what your level. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I was a little tired at the time or I would have logged back on and completed my comment on ncp. The next line would have been: Characterized by poor spelling and being hard to understand because of it. I spend a lot of time going back and editing out typos. If you know how slow a typist I am you understand why I hate having to read them in other people's posts. quote:Actually in you Google "noobie" you will find it is used as a word and is considered interchangeable with "newbie" in meaning. There are also a few websites that use it. [ Tuesday, May 23, 2006 20:59: Message edited by: Randomizer ] Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Teaching depends at what academic level and what type of school, Spending all your time ride herd on a bunch of rowdy teenagers in an inner city public school will change your thinking. Even at college level you wonder why did you get stuck with all the morons this semester. The system in the US for elementary and high school is becoming geared towards passing exams for No Child Left Behind and not towards teaching people to think critcially and learn on their own. That's why students can make it into college and have to be taught material they should have learned in high school. Don't get me started on the idiots who sign up for courses without knowing the prerequisite material. There was a post last month about stupid questions and I remember one student who wasn't academically prepared so his questions continually covered material he needed to know before he had signed up for the course, Just bringing him up to speed would require a year of math and science classes that he didn't have. It was the only time where I saw a professor tell a student to just shut up so he could finish the class.

You can also learn it in Harston up in the Giant Lands, but you need Dispel Barrier to get to the spellbook (irony). Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

There are a few other routes depending upon what you have done. The quickest is to use the Orb of Thrani if you have found ot to fly around the Spire Fortress. There are also routes going by Fort Emerald and passing east and then north to Spire. I don't remember having any trouble delivering the box and I don't remember the rune.

There was nothing wrong with the Carbon-14 dating. The problem lies with the sample that was tested, The Catholic Church failed to meet its original obligation to provide 3 different samples from different places on the Shroud of Turin. They still haven't done so because they don't want scientific proof. To paraphrase Douglas Adams from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by requiring proof you show a lack of faith and without faith you can't believe in God. If the original test had proven what they wanted they woud have accepted it. Two of the samples were older from Eqyptian mummies and they were dated sucessfully.

quote:I was at the University of Arizona when they dated the Shroud of Turin and know several people that did it. The accuracy was to less than 50 years. The joke was that the other two samples that were supposed to make it a "blind" test looked nothng like the distinctive weave of the Shroud. People were upset that the dating was conclusive and that no experimental error could push the date back to the time of Christ. The other two samples that were of known dates were also dated correctly. Later there were claims that the tested section was from different material than the main part of the Shroud and the tests were invalid. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
