As a hilarious twist, his name is not and never was Alexander Kyras.

I'm not going to tell you what it is, although you can find out on your own if you look really hard through old archives from other forums.

There are many things I could say right now, but owing to the filters they will have to be said privately.

If your computer has a CD burner, you can always just put everything on a CD-R.

TM, stop being TM.

Edward, be careful to use the Edit button instead of the Quote button in future.

Pylons in Avernum 4

I took your OCD to mean that you obsessively and compulsively had your party stand just out of range and very, very slowly picked off each pylon. Doing it with one victim is much easier.
I actually killed many of the pylons west of Fort Remote with everyone out of range, doing enough damage to beat the pylons' regeneration. Then I realised that using missiles and a few healing spells on the fighter meant less running back to recharge SP than pummeling it with attack spells did.

Okay, I'm in the lich's tower, in the Mountains of Faith section. I searched every square for a secret passage, and I'm losing essence fast. I still don't have the "necessary magic" to go into the other sections. What do I do?
Follow the path until you can go no further, then turn back and start searching for secret passages again.

Also, where can I recharge essence?
Various places. Don't worry; once you're past Bully Joel's quest (the one you're doing right now), there isn't anywhere that you're likely to run out of essence (except maybe the beholder at the very end, and that's completely optional).

If you're desperately low on essence, once you find Joel's essence, you can drink it yourself to get a big recharge. Warning: this has consequences, both short-term and long-term.

By the way, while we're talking about Universal Grammar and weird languages, what does everyone think about Pirahã? Is it really as freaky as some people claim, or has Daniel Everett pulled a Margaret Mead?

I did think like Jeff's wife and others that the end of G3 was too difficult to really enjoy. But the two climactic fights of A4 were perfectly balanced. Perhaps its inherent in the difference between the turn-based games and the real time of the Genforge series.
Er, probably not. Geneforge's combat is just as turn-based as Avernum's is, so that shouldn't make any difference.

Even if you don't get yourself cured, Dread Curse automatically vanishes whenever you leave a scenario.

Yeah, what he said. Anna, you're killing monsters half your level so you're not supposed to get any experience out of them, except possibly from the animated armor. As for the you gain xx experience points bug: I can't see a thing I can do about that one.
Well, you could give out all scripted XP awards at a variable level equal to the party's average experience level instead of at a fixed level. That way, the amount of experience actually awarded will always be pretty close to the amount the status window message says has been awarded.

On the other hand, you may not necessarily want a level 214 party to gain experience from going through your scenario.

Wow. That seems like an awfully obscure bug.

Anyway, thanks for the update. The bug fixes are much appreciated, and the fixes to the bugs (new Chitrach graphics) even more so.

Well, my impression is that Cocoa and Carbon apps will still work, they just won't run natively. It's therefore likely that Jeff won't update them at all.

Updating the old pre-Carbon games will likely be a fair bit of work, though.

To "key" a car is to scratch the paintwork on it with a key.

Remember the room in the northwest corner of the fort where you originally found the scrolls, right at the start of the gamea? Look at the box of scrolls in that room again, and you'll be given the option to translate them. After you've translated them, go back and talk to Lark again.

Just because he didn't run over my cat with a car doesn't mean he didn't own a car. :P On the other hand, random acts of vandalism aren't really a constructive solution. I don't live there any more, so I'm just pleased that he won't be causing problems in future.

(As it happens, I did lose another cat to a car once, but that was an accident -- according to the driver, the cat was being chased by a dog and ran out into the road.)

By the way, I'll be gone again for a few days starting tomorrow. I should be back by Saturday.

No, the Tower of Magi incident isn't until much later. The problem you're having is that you're carrying an item that's making you sick. It's probably a Uranium Bar; if you have any unidentified metal bars in your inventory, dump them.

Nope. Don't worry too much, though; it doesn't interfere with your ability to finish the game.

Dexterity vs. Missile Weapons in Geneforge Series

If he's asking for basic gameplay advice, I doubt he's playing on Torment. Just because a strategy doesn't work so well on Torment, doesn't mean it's useless -- if he wants to play as a Shaper with missile weapons, he can. Sometimes it's fun to play an unusual character.

Unless a third-party character editor was actually made by modifying SW's original editor, it's perfectly legal. There's no law against making your own program which serves the same function as an existing copyrighted program.
