Has anyone tried an all druid party for the Celts? Since they can use all those neat attack spells especially darts of ice and later soul lances for multiple targets they can do more damage per round than fighters. The best uses I've found for my fighters is as high health shields and pack mules. After picking up a mercenary after the demo you have a ready made shield. There are also several places where you can get charged up to higher health to help with the most dangerous areas. Carry enough energy potions and you don't even have to worry about spell energy.

While I've played all the listed games, I still have to finish a couple. Hopefully by the time Avernum 5 is out I can say I've played all of them through at least once and some of the scenarios created by members. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

1. Still prefer Nethergate then Exile with Avernum next. Geneforge 4 really turned the series around and makes me look forward to Geneforge 5. Can't wait until Nethergate Version 2.0. 2. Avernum is still more popular unless Jeff really fails at a decent plot for Avernum 5. He can't use the excuse that he's testing out a new game engine after all the plot complaints. 3. Played since late 2000 when I found Exile 3 on a sharewear disk. I couldn't get Exile 1 and 2 to install properly. 4. Started playing Exile series on Windows 3.1 and got a Mac for playing Avernum and Geneforge.

So that's why the forums shifted. Just kidding. Can't wait for the fight to really take off, but it seems that there will a slight delay. Rats get to work their way through Geneforge 4 and all those pesky serviles. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

There were enough people that spoke ill of Ford while he was alive. Especially when he pardoned Nixon. Of course in hindsight it looks like the right thing to do and that he was a great president. When you compare Ford to "cut and run" Reagan and "stay the course" W. Bush, he looks even better since he didn't back down before terrorists in Lebanon encouragiing the whole mess we have today or get us into an unnecessary war when he had a clear mandate. Saddam Hussein showed that illegal acts by a leader will get punished. Now we have to see whether other countries will punish their current leaders for crimes.

Loved the adbot scene. I wonder if this will be the start of a new invaison force. I see you've been reading the Geneforge 4 posts about Turabi Gate. Finally a chance to start acid spraying rats. Pity that Avernum mages don't have the great attack spells of the Exile mages. I'd love to see the rats' reaction to shockwave. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Whenever the dialog option occurs to fight your bonds, take it. Run as fast as you can for the northwest door. It gets you out of his attack range while you wait for the door to open. Even if you don't have high mechanics to sabotage the controls there is a servile that can sort of help in Moseh's rooms to the northeast in that area. It depends whose side you are on and what you have done to get to that point. If you are there to help repair Moseh and have leadership 10, then you can avoid a fight.

There is one body in the southeast corner under an electrified line that has a living tool on it. I figured it was worth it the way I use them. The old beta allowed you to reach all the spore boxes without coming down from Rocky Point if you had at least stealth +1. Jeff changed it for the current version.

I think until recently Exile 3 was the game I've played through the most. When I finish the others (Nethergate, Geneforge trilogy, and Avernum 3) I want to go back and play them again and make some BoE parties to play the scenarios. I miss the 2 weapon buzz saw fighters and watching shockwave destroy an Empire army in Exile 2 at the checkpoints. Free loot whenever I was short of cash.

Go for a few of the really useful ones so you gain power but still have some control. That way you can goad the ones that use too many into doing stupid things. Let them fight amongst themselves and kill the "winner." Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

If you have enough health you can survive the pylons. Using augmentation, essence shield/armor, steel skin, and protection you can reach that body. There are some nice things like the oozing blade so if you have the mechanics it is worth it. Just pay attention not to approach the lines by less than 2 squares.

There's a dead one in the Eastern Barrier Zone that left a diary. Both sides are hunting them down as fast as possible. Forgot Nakel in the Northern Fens that you can be hired to kill.

I used up skill points when I got them, but most went to spells, tool use, and strength so I could lug the loot back to town. After the Eastern Gallery you pretty much can hit anything so it becomes a matter of damage/round and how soon you go back to town to recharge.

Probably because Jeff didn't want a religious war, he left it vague. TSR (now a subdivision of Hasbro) got rake over the coals about Dungeons and Dragons. They revised the demons and devils in second edition to placate the parents. You can reach where they come from by various portals and in Avernum 4 there is some mention that they live on more than one plane since the Tower Colony one was trapped here after the Grah-Hoth incident in Avernum 3. They did rule Avernum before the humans were exiled from the surface so they must like the place.

quote:No chance of reducing the servile. I asked Jeff and he had a complaint that it wasn't powerful enough against Monarch from someone that he relies upon. Shock troopers are a bit weak because of the magic spells, but they are playable if you don't want as big an army as a lifecrafter. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Damage is lower against you for melee attacks as long as you retreat from the energy blasts. Just stay outside of attack range for a few rounds and return. Also there is a chance of charming his golem. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
