Sulfras and Athron are girls, Khoth is a guy, and Pyrog and Motrax were guys too. Although, that's not say that at one point the genders weren't different.

Unless someone tells you how to kill them or expects you to, don't try. Wait until later in the game.

A lot of happens because you don't need to do every quest and clear every area to win the game. When you try to be comprehensive and get *everything*, you gain levels quickly, which makes certain areas give low XP.

How would you do it? in Avernum 4

quote:
The problem is Rentar (and most other villains in Avernum) are passive villains. They pretty much sit in their towers and antagonize the party. They don't move around and shake the plot personally, they have thousands of minions do it for them. The interactions with the player are fairly minimal.
This is something that Geneforge gets (mostly) right.

The problem is that melee is *underpowered*.

I would have actually developed the water monster angle. The fear that the shades brought was new and intriguing. But yes, I would have made those secondary to the Darkside Loyalists. Basically it would be like this:

Rentar's revenge creates chaos in Avernum. Darkside Loyalists seize the opportunity to finally reveal themselves. Party goes after Rentar, thinks everything will be done, and then finds out that the darkside loyalists are still there and threatening. Then needs to deal with them.

I have a feeling that Minor Heal and Heal max out at a certain level in order to make Major Heal worthwhile.

I haven't played the "Guardian" type, but melee is certainly viable. Especially alongside some of the new spells. I don't think it's been strengthened. Hard to tell when the endgame (or even middlegame) isn't done, though.

I never play with creations unless I'm playing as a Shaper, and I hardly ever play as a Shaper. But picking up NPCs has proved useful, even though they can't match my damage they can provide me with cover.

I thought Jeff said that Avernum 5 would be smaller and set in a previously unknown part of the caves, but I could be wrong.

You get a new creation when you get three levels in a creation - 3 in fyora gets you a cryoa.

It's definitely worth it to put points into shaping skills.

Your spell/shaping level skill is displayed on a separate screen, which shows you that battle alphas are battle shaping, glaakhs are magic shaping, etc.
