I've a $10000/year scholarship and then another $6000/year in grants for to the school I'm going to. Considering that the scholarship is due to my PSAT scores, Kelandon, your comments seem relatively inaccurate.

I don't know how I did it, but I managed to break my Death Charm in Death at Chapman's. I used it once immediately after I got it, then talked to Fran about it and went back inside the school. When I confronted Melville with it, activating the Death Charm wouldn't call the special at all - there was absolutely no effect.

This problem was remedied by using the character editor to create another Death Charm, so it is being submitted more as a bug report than a cry for help.

I did it using the find function, but the smaller list would have indeed been helpful.

Scorpius is not banned. He asked for his title to be set to that when he quit the forums.

Well, in Siege of Sighing Mountain (for BoE), you can go anywhere and do anything, as far as I saw, and you can't dawdle, because, for all practical purposes, doing a lot of the things which you can do causes you to lose.

They're either using a modified editor or hex-editing the scenario files. Both methods are impermissible for discussion here, however, so if you wish to inquire further into this, please do it on another board.

3.) It's really a "choppy" scenario

^ It being a bad scenario would be the only reason no one has it. Cursing is REALLY REALLY common in some scenarios.

Concentrated Linearity Debate (New Voices Welcome to Participate and Vote) in Blades of Avernum
Shake Before Using

Emerald Mountain could have been a lot less restrictive in where you could go, yes. I complained about it to TM during the beta, actually, because I frequently got a "you went off the path!" message when I was trying to go where TM wanted me to.

Regarding Morrowind, I found it rather fun, but a bit lacking because there wasn't any real natural progression of things to do, since you could go anywhere and do anything at any time. (yes, including beat the game in under an hour)

quote:
Extensive time and effort was taken to make the whole things extremely linear and exactly the way the programmer wanted, going so far as to turn off spells, make spells that are normally effective in certain situations completely ineffectual there so that a plot point can be shoved in the player's face, and so forth.
In any case, while I don't really care for "You don't want to do that!" messages, especially when I might actually want to do what the designer is telling me I don't, the turning off of spells / making spells ineffective was to force the player to look for a new strategy.

Consider this: EVERY party at a high enough level for Bahssikava has Unshackle Mind. If you can just cast that on your charmed character, is his being charmed a threat at all? With that made ineffective, the battle was made much more difficult.

(As a lengthy aside, I consider the removal of Cloud of Blades in Canopy permissible, as well, as it defeats a potentially game-breaking tactic. In BoE, it was common practice for your invulnerability to be removed constantly in boss fights, and, in one scenario, for the game to instantly kill you if you left combat mode during a boss fight.

While these seem odd, the former is truly game-breaking, as in BoE, there's an easily recastable spell that gives a single character six rounds worth of invulnerability. The latter, while it seems offensively limiting, stops the player from abusing a game-breaking bug which allows him to take full combat actions while restricting the enemy to one action per monster per round. While the party can do these things and, in the former case, has earned the ability to do said things, they break the game when they are used.

Therefore, I see no reason that negating something game-breaking in BoA, such as Cloud of Blades and its percent-of-target's-HP-based damage, is not permissible.)

Even some of the more glaring cases of art abuse in BoE have gone unmentioned, DreamGuy - Drizzt's use of official art of Drizzt Do'Urden in Brotherhood of the Hand, or whoever-the-hell-designed-Saviour's-Quest's horrible mangling of some of Tim Farland's BoE graphics, for example, both went unmentioned.

To be perfectly honest, it's not really possible to do this, since the pictures are downloaded to your computer in order to view them in the first place. It's possible to change things so that they can't be jacked by any random idiot, though.
