There's a really old post about the chest on the upper level of Formello with the guard blocking it. It contains some javelins and other minor stuff. There are a lot of things like that are just there to annoy you. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I bet she's been working with the sane members of the crazed Taker cult from GF1 that were learning magic. She's been learning magic and getting power. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Go back to the corridor that runs from behind the quickghast throne to the ruby skeleton/wight area. Start searching for secret passages going towards the center. Magic map helps show the area you want. The sealed corridor on the east side is useless. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

There are some threads that calculate tool use and unlock door with mage abilities so you can figure out how difficult a door you can get through. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The two extra characters in Exile are useful because of how the game engine deals with treasure that falls on the floor after killing a monster. In Avernum, unless it's a wilderness encounter from A1-3, the treasure remains to be picked up later. In Exile the treasure is always gone when you leave the area. The extra characters allow you to pick up more loot so you can finish off a dungeon and never need to come back. OR you can keep redoing a dungeon for the monster treasure and experience, but that becomes boring. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

19. When you are carrying too much you drop the extra stuff in a pile expecting it to be there when come back later. 20. You keep trying to use cheat codes and wonder why they didn't work.

By that point it doesn't make much difference. The only fun encounters are down by Erika's ruins. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Still need to finish GF1-3 and Nethergate. At least I got the summer ahead. GF1 will be done by the end of the month. I should be done before GF4 and the new Nethergate. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The slith avatars are a powerful type of guardian spirit. Similar to demons, but not affected by repel spirit. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

See serviles isn't so bad. It's when they starting talking to you that's the problem. Especially if it's not with deep respect because you are a shapeer. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Since the quicksilver buckler doesn't decrease strength it's better for getting extra actions. Combine with Mercuric armor and you get 2 actions a round and 3 when hasted. It's great for spell casters. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Don't sell extra potion ingredients beyond the Mandrake number because you can use them for energy potions (elixir neeeds mandrake). It seems like a lot of work to do it your way. You do miss experience from traps and unlocking items by waiting for tool use and unlock doors. By waiting so long the value decreases to almost nothing.

There are stupid questions, it's just the asker is too stupid to recognize that they are stupid questions. Go and teach for a few years and you will see. It's why I wanted to only do research.

According to Jeff you've got about a 6 month wait until GF4 is ready. It will be longer for Windows users. It depends upon what you want to do until it's available. You can always download the demo to GF3 and then decide. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The test is to adapt to changing circumstances, so you have to rotate through the different spell damage types until you get significant damage. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Thanks to the pylons it's worth the trip since you can sell everything else to the merchant in the same trip. Since there is a maximum amount of loot in the game it pays to haul every piece of junk that is sellable to a merchant. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

For something really old, check out the Colossal Cave Adventure Page (www.rickadams.org/adventure/). It contains downloadable PC versions of the text based Adventure game, hints, walkthroughs, history, trivia, and a long essay on writing a decent game. I've only tried the Mac version and it uses MAC OS 9 Classic to run. There are DOS and other versions. Also there are several extended versions with extra rooms. No graphics, character creation, automapping, and all the other crutches that you normally use. Just you and a paper map that you create as you figure out the puzzles. This is the great grandfather of all fantasy games. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

There is no ideal party. What I use is a party with a nephil archer elite warrior divine touch, a slith pole weapon elite warrior divine touch, a human mage/priest/thief natural mage divine touch, and a human priest/mage pure spirit divine touch. You could use nephil or slith instead of humans since experience penalty is not a real problem. Both spell casters start at spell level 5 in mage and priest to get all free spells. The mage/theif gets all mage spell levels but doesn't get all priest spells, The priest/mage gets all priest spell levels and at least lightning spray. Tool use of at least 5 to start for mage/thief to be increased to 8 before reaching Fort Draco, It gets raised to 12 before reaching the Eastern Gallery. Tinker's gloves and bauble make it an effective 15. You need 16 for the end. Nature lore of 12 will work for most of the game. Explorer's ring will give 2 more. At the end you need 16 for the total in the party to get everything but Heartseeker Bow. The combine party arcane lore maximum is 15. But you don't need more than 12 for most of the game. There are several threads that address party creation. I know others have different views. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Go west from Cotra and West Cotra along the coast to the nexr map section and then start searching north for a body in the trees. There are 2 different ones, but the other is near Swamplouse. The body of a wizard will only have the letter to Giscard. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Playing a servile versus a human would mean a whole new set of dialog options. Some serviles are able to resist shaper commands. Whether this would be given for PC serviles or you would have to raise abilities to be able to resist is up to Jeff. As a servile you are at the bottom, just ahead of the ornk (?).

It's never too much until carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists makes using the mouse impossible. Although taking a break might be helpful. When you see the game in your sleep you are nearing the end. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
