Essence shackles is a missle spell so you need dexterity and/or missle weapons. When I first tried it I never could hit anything. I had to use mass madness to do the same thing.

Try to use multiple target spells or spray crystals to determine the image that takes major damage.

It used to be much worse in the early betas.

My guess is that you are running a single character with no creations. In the Fens you really start noticing that you get nothing for killing some creations. It gets worse. The quest experience becomes important.

Wingbolts are nasty when you don't have the health. There are 5 in that area. You need to buff yourself and try to take them on one at a time. They are vulnerable to icy spray. About 2 or 3 icy crystals will take one out.

Strong daze helps, but it really comes down to watching that they don't get too close to you until you are ready.

There are 2 wingbolts guarding Alwan's chamber in Rivergate Keep if you want to practice.

Edit - Synergy has it right. Also their missle attack is worse than their poison melee attack. It's just that out in the open they will back up and use their energy missle attack.

You can fight him if you want in the beginning. I think you die right away. He's there for color.

Almost any RPG is that way. I used to spend 4 to 5 hours a night playing Avatar (a Multiple user dungeon) just to go up a level or two, Just wandering around in a loop until I had enough loot that I needed to go sell it to free up inventory slots.

Jeff's games are slightly better, but I know I'm not the only one that complained about having more freedom to wander around and not be forced into a linear storyline.

Happy birthday. According to the Wall Street Journal you are in the age range where your free time to game is rapidly decreasing.

I don't think of it so much as an underestimation. It's more of an insultingly-low approximation.

So, yeah... this thread derailed.

I'm suprised this thread is still active. It served out it's original purpose a few days ago.

It's not so much ET's intelligence as his delusions of adequacy. That he thinks that he will rise with his followers out to stab him in the back when he leaves it unprotected. His seat back is the only thing keeping him around.

If I remember correctly you can't sell the Orb, but it takes up an inventory slot. That's one advantage of Exile series in placing it as a special item.

Magic of Avernum Universe: Combined with Technology? (Slight Spoliers.) in The Avernum Trilogy
Law Bringer
Member # 6785
Profile #5
BoA scenario Valley of the Dying Things had several science technolgy devices that sometimes used magic as a component. The waste disposal systems had a machine that used portals to transport the waste and release quickfire that was stored in rooms waiting for the door to open.

The Vahnatia used crystals as the basis for machines. The mind that controlled the golems and the factory in A3 is the closest to science technology.

But Alorael is correct that magic was the main science of Avernum and that mechanical developement was kept back because of it.

If you have a lot of creations then rod of succor is also useful. You can always use the tokens to buy things and then sell them to raise money.

A charged vlish has the slow/stun that vlish used to have in the earlier games. It helps to use stable creations since they will be more powerful later on without having to tie up large amounts of essence.

If you need to use a cheat code to kill something then you really aren't powerful enough to do the job.

You should have heard the beta testing howls of complaint when Jeff took out mass haste from mass energize. It was put back in the next beta. Aura of flames works almost as well as diamond spray but there are a few creations where you wish you had another spell. Wait until you face the nightmare worms of the Titan's Hall.

Is 8 really the highest useful leadership? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

Member # 6785

Some infiltrator items will raise leadership. There are a few places where leadership of 10 will help you get experience and avoid a fight. Moseh's Bunker to repair him, West Illya Road with the patrol thahds, and Alwan to avoid revealing the Safehouse (that might be lower).

Some lower level creations are more prone to charm and terror spells. This starts to become important in chapter 4 - Burwood.

I guess I'm a 3. I'm not sure if I post enough to have much a "reputation", though.

You have a reputation for posting these great cartoons. It's a ;ot better than some of the other reputations here.

Going back to the start of this topic, the ancient Greeks were used to more manual labor than us. After several years of rowwing you would be able to do it for longer and at a higher speed. Especially with the incentive of the whip to pick up the pace.

Your all wimps. When I was 10, I had to walk 3/4 of a mile each way to school. Then I came home and got a shovel to dig my father's car out of the snow after the snow plows cleared the street. It was a full sized sedan over 20 foot long and not one of these pocket sized subcompacts. You people, except for Alorael in Alaska and the Finns, have it easy.

Thanks for letting me make sure that rat was dead. Nice chapter and Tyranicus didn't die even if it would have been so easy.

Now that the water is down it's time for the flood of newbies.
