Sometimes I'd like a custom title, but if I can't have one, I could easily live without it. I'm just here more for the fun of it, not to have a flashy title. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

There's only one thing I don't like about G3; it's everyone's attitude of, "If you're not for us, you're against us." With all the major NPCs having absolute opinions, I can't ride the fence for most of the game anymore!

Randomizer's right, everyone's code is unique. I recommend that you get the games on CD when you register, just so it's easier to re-register if necessary. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

I prefer to use both the keyboard and the mouse. I use the keyboard mainly for casting spells, talking to people, and looking at objects. I use the mouse mostly for movement, and to click on the directions if there's something I want to look at, talk to, or target that's not quite in the window. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

I've played the Geneforge games on Win98, XP, and Vista. None of them has a windowed mode. I wish it did so I could keep an eye on the time; some of us have to stop for sleep. (I once played until 3A.M., local time, without realizing it.) EDIT: Iffy - I've long since tried your suggestions. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they don't work.

1) Buy some dexterity and (when you reach the west end of the Great Cave) gymnastics. The number of hits you take should then go southwards. 2) Fire is an excellent way to take out eyebeasts. Bolt of Fire, Fireblast, and Divine Fire will take them down. If memory serves, there should be an item or two that will protect you against paralysis, but I can't recall where they are at the moment. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

Some older versions of A1 had a bug where the multi-targeting didn't work with Smite. I suggest going to Spiderweb's site and download a patch.

Excuse me while I take a moment and laugh hysterically over that anecdote. (pauses so I can catch my breath) No creation of mine ever lasts long enough to get named.

No it isn't, but it can be nice to have if your playing style is as spell-heavy as mine. And just so you know, if memory serves, no artifact quest is truly mandatory. I can' tell you how to get any of them, though, since I haven't played E3 in a few years. quote:How true it is.

When I bought my first computer (I think 1998, but I'm not sure anymore), I also bought a CD with a bunch of shareware games on it. Two of these were BoE and E3. I first installed BoE (the first one I found) and played the "Valley of Dying Things" scenario until I had it nearly memorized. Later that year, I went back to the CD and installed E3, then played it until I could do just about everything in the demo by around day 30. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.
