You know, MM, you could at least have gone to the trouble of changing your profile.

At any rate, impersonation is a major infraction. Knock it off.

A4 Hidden Skills [SPOILERS] in Avernum 4

Hmm. Schro says it's 10 endurance, you say it's 8. Aren't there two free points of Endurance you can get from scripted events in the game? Maybe those don't count toward the requirements for special skills.

Just so you know, the "personality" field doesn't actually seem to do anything at all. As near as we can tell, it only exists to help the designer keep track of who each dialogue node belongs to.

There's another way in on the other side of the river, where the main tower ruins are. You won't get there until later.

Demo in Avernum 4

The main problem with Hrickis is that at the level you're at when you run into him, it's basically impossible to have decent HP yet, so some of his attacks can wipe out your entire party. If you don't feel like fighting him repeatedly until you get lucky, consider holding off on him and coming back once you've learned Augmentation (which unfortunately isn't available in the demo).

It's Genevieve. You may need to talk to her while the shade is away in order to get a useful response. She'll send you to someone else who will send you to someone else who will eventually send you to Khoth's lair.

Because there's nothing for a sequel to Nethergate to be about. Nethergate's ending was pretty final.

It does, and it's PDF. I swear to God. If you take a screenshot in OS X, it saves it on your desktop as an image a couple of megabytes in size, in PDF format. Really.

It's fairly unimportant. Completing it allows you to do another equally unimportant quest later in the game.

It may be on topic for the forum, but saying it's a good topic doesn't make it so. I mean, so far there's only been one post of more than one paragraph in length.

Still, we've seen far worse in the past.

A man walks into a psychiatrist's office. The psychiatrist draws four parallel lines on a piece of paper and asks the patient what it reminds him of. He answers, "A woman's legs".

The psychiatrist then draws two wavy lines on another piece of paper, and again asks the patient what it reminds him of. The patient says, "A woman's hips".

Finally, the psychiatrist draws a circle on a third piece of paper and again asks the patient what it reminds him of, to which the patient replies "A woman's breast".

The psychiatrist raises an eyebrow and says to the patient, "You seem to be preoccupied with sex today."

The patient replies, "What? You're the one drawing all the dirty pictures!"

Using BoE to Create E4 in Blades of Exile
...b10010b...
Member # 869

Well, it wouldn't be impossible, but it'd be more of a remake than a port.

And it'd take an awful lot of grunt work, on the order of months to years. Towns and monsters would have to be redesigned to suit the BoE engine, combat would have to be rebalanced, dialogue would have to be rewritten, and all the scripts would have to be manually redone as nodes.

I'd say this falls very much into the not-worth-it basket. If you disagree, well, you can always try to do it yourself, I suppose.

By the way, have you tried using the pleaselikeme cheat after travelling a few zones away from the fort, rather than doing it right there in front of the fort? It might require the zone to be reloaded before it takes effect.

A Mac version of which program? A whole mess of different programs have been mentioned in this topic, some of which have Mac versions and some of which don't. In any case, if you want to find Mac versions of software, try VersionTracker.

They're not talking about tools in general, but rather the actual item called "Tools", which isn't useful anywhere except for selling.
