Which scenario to play? in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, April 26 2006 01:08 Profile Homepage #15 If you do decide to try out BoE (and you should; it rocks), keep in mind that since recent scenarios are mostly designed by people who have played BoE for literally the better part of a decade, they tend to be hard -- and just because a scenario is designed for beginner-level parties doesn't mean it's any easier. Spears is a good scenario to start with; it's easy enough for a beginner but showcases many of the fancy technical tricks you'll find in more difficult scenarios. Of course, there's always the character editor. Just don't ever admit you use it.

Question 1: Energy in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, April 26 2006 01:00 Profile Homepage #18 You can't just put vegetable oil in your car's fuel tank and expect it to run, but if you have a vehicle with a diesel engine, vegetable oil can be used as diesel fuel. The trouble is, it doesn't burn as cleanly as actual diesel and can mess up your engine (although less so if it's processed to clean it up a little). It's probably not a good idea to try running a newer diesel engine on vegetable oil; old engines tend to be more tolerant of impurities in fuel (and less expensive to replace if they do give up the ghost).

Restarting or continuing? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, April 25 2006 14:53 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by AncalagonTheBlack: I am not convinced that having a mage-thief is best. I had one archer-thief with tool use of 16 largely from having the trait. He did all my traps. My mage put 4 skill points to get 3 TU before equipment, which was probably unnecessary. I was able to get so much SC/magery with my leftover skill points that I could easily open every door in the game without any problems. I don't know which is best, but this worked great for me. Even the level-35 door in Patrick's Tower that doesn't have a key to it? I'm impressed. Wouldn't you need both Spellcraft and Magery at around 15-20 to get that door open with Unlock alone (assuming a Mage Spells skill of 17)?
