That seems reasonable, but I was scarred at a young age by Warcraft 2. As an eight year old, it was physically impossible for me to beat the computer in that game. Games like that are what cheat codes were made for.

As for Spiderweb games, I don't cheat to win, I cheat to make the story the center of focus, rather than the combat.

I actually have a funny story about this.

I used to drink upwards of three to five cans of rootbeer a day. I still love the stuff. But one day, when I was getting a monthy (yearly?) check-up, my doctor, the coolest man ever, said, and I quote, "Empires have fallen over the amount of sugar in sodas." He knows nothing of my fascination with empires and history, he could never have known how that remark would hit home.

I now drink soda only when nothing else is available, even water.

I don't want to meet other Spiderwebbers. However, if it were a genuine Spiderweb convention and Jeff were there, I'd check it out. I live near Philadelphia, the farthest I would go is New York.

It applies to all. Though, granted, I don't count Homeland or Subterra when I think of Spiderweb games.

Just a minor point, but what exactly is an "epic" battle?
I think that's why I brought up unique enemies. Since I cheat, the only way I can distinguish battles from one another is by who I'm fighting. An epic battle for me is not one against a powerful monster, but one against an actual character, even something as simple as a name will do. The better I know them, the more of a pleasure it is to destroy them. That's epic for me.

Is it moral for a Trakovite to unleash any kind of destruction on his enemies? Isn't the whole point of being one of them to not destroy things?

I think the thing I liked most about Avernum 4 was that there were lots of unique bosses. I love named enemies, there should be lots of them in future games. Expecially ones that don't have a quest that goes with them, like that one nephil with the spear early in the game. Sort of like optional bosses, and they can drop special items. That would be cool.

It doesn't bother me that you insult me, Thuryl, I can take it. I just don't like the way your type scares away other people. Your jokes directed at me aren't even that good. Come on, Johnny Cash? I almost sprained my eyes they rolled so far back in my head. You seem like a smart guy, I just wish you'd say things to me that were worth a response. That goes for those like you as well, those that would rather make a stupid pun than contribute meaningfully to the conversation.

I always did have a problem with the fact that this forum is up to it's neck in inside jokes that it must bring up as often as possible, and the fact that most of the people who have been here the longest feel they need to treat 'outsiders' like crap. But these things never stopped me from enjoying, say, the Geneforge forum. It fulfills its purpose in that I can go there to talk about the actual games, instead of listening to the meta-dribble that happens in general. Even then, I don't mind going there anyway just to antagonize people. You of all people should appreciate that, Alec.

Go to the Western Morass. Follow a path through the swamps leading North, and you will find a trapdoor leading down to the workshop. I'm not sure, but I think you need to talk Matala into opening the door to the canister first, otherwise it is locked. Then you can kill her afterwards.

Is it possible to just PLAY the game without spending a few hours figuring out various characters and politics?
There are plenty of threads here with stratagies and statistics and other nonsense, feel free to look at those.

To all you Trakovites turned Shapers, is it not cowardly to walk the line between supporting creation rights and limiting shaping, and then when the going gets tough abandon the creations in favor of conservative Shaperism? What good is any ideal unless you are willing to fight for it? How can there be progress in either direction if whenever shaping gets a bit out of hand, you run back to the Shapers to feel safe?

What if we stepped outside the game and assumed there was a Trakovite faction with some strength. They would fight for creation rights and limiting shaping. However, they would also execute all Shapers and drakon shapers that they got their hands on. Would you fight with them?

One great thing about Rentar is that she makes no excuses. She doesn't have to, she is doing what she believes is right. It is up to the player to understand this and forgive her for it. When they do, Rentar honorably accepts the defeat, and is willing to surrender unconditionally. She loves her people so much, she is willing to swallow her pride for them. Why most people interpret this as 'mindless hate villain' I'll never understand.

Rebel scum can clear it by entering from the other side. Go the long way around and approach it from Khima-Uss. That will clear it.

The Shaper Camp can never be cleared out. There are a few creations that will keep spawning forever, though you can kill the guards and shapers and they will not come back.

Turabi Gate is the same way. Troops will come at you infinitly but only if they are alerted by one of the patroling guards. The patroling guards will come back when you leave the area but the shapers and creations by the gate will not, so if you sneak in and kill them that's as good as it gets. Don't feel bad if you can't do either area, if you're not cheating you may have to come back and do them later. You will want to, since there are some good items.

As for the actual Turabi Gate gate, you can't go through it, ever.. The same goes for the gates at Western Morass, which you will visit much later. They lead to Shaper lands, which are not part of this game.

I've noticed that most Spiderwebbers like to consider themselves Trakovites, however, when given the choice between the Rebellion and the Shapers, they side with the Shapers. I can only conclude from this that most Spiderwebbers fear shaping more than they care about creation rights. Anyone care to make a defense for this rather pitiful position?

It's strange because I always thought Jeff sympathized with the Awakened, given that they were the most moderate and easiest to sympathize with in the first two games. But then they were gone...

I was going to say that now Jeff sympathized with the rebels, the human rebels like Greta, not the drakons, because they are the ones truely struggling for a cause they beleive in. Then I realized you left out the Trakovites. Jeff is clearly a Trakovite. He is writing the games to make shaping look bad, and he is succeeding. People hesitate to side with either the Shapers or the Rebels, because both seem to have more flaws than good points. He made the Trakovites seems life a noble moderate sect that wanted to save the world when really they are just terrorists who will doom it. He is favoring these radicals but by making them a 'hidden sect' it is not so obvious.

You seem to like turn-based over real time, with the unusual exception of Diablo 2.

I recommend Fallout, the best RPG ever. It's kind of like Diablo, only turn based, takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, and has an decent plot.
