the shade in Avernum 4

Avernum series - Avernum 4 plot in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 16:50 Profile Homepage #1 A4's plot is basically a continuation of the plot of Avernum 3. If you disliked A3, then A4 may not be your style either. You can always try out the demo and see what you think, though. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Spire Fortress? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 16:46 Profile Homepage #3 There's another way in. Have you finished the quest in the tunnels west of Fort Remote yet? You'll be sent to do the Spire mission after that. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Geneforge 3 Review in Geneforge Series

Testing chambers spoilers in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 15:04 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by ArsonPerBuilding: Oh well...the stone circle outside of Rentars final fortress certainly gave me a startle for a moment. Even more so if you've killed the shades, since the point at which you see the stone circle is exactly when the crystal fragments from the shades start playing up. For a moment there, I was honestly expecting to have to fight all 3 shades at once.

To buy or wait that is the question in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 15:01 Profile Homepage #4 quote: Originally written by Dzang Weenit: I don't think Spiderweb handles pre-orders, and I can't see why you'd really want to. Jeff did occasionally accept pre-orders from BoE/A scenario contest winners who were entitled to a free game and wanted one that hadn't yet been released, but that's a special case. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Getting extra skills in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:57 Profile Homepage #3 There's some ridiculously high Nature Lore requirement to get Heartseeker, the best bow in the game. Even 22 total Nature Lore in my party wasn't enough; I'm guessing the requirement is probably around 25. Fortunately, you don't need that much for any other caches in the game, and the bow's right near the end, so you can wait a while before getting Nature Lore that high.

FIne Slith Spear, not so fine? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 14:48 Profile Homepage #4 quote: Originally written by Slartucker: It could. For whatever reason, it doesn't. "Base damage" is always the multiplier range times the weapon level. So the first number is always going to be the same as the weapon level. For your regular slith spear, that's "8 - 24" meaning 1-4 x 8. You mean, of course, 1-3x8. Fine slith spears are 1-4x6 (plus 1-4 per level of Strength, Pole Weapons or Blademaster, of course).

Where is the key ? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 3 2006 01:46 Profile Homepage #7 Apart from the ones upstairs in Giscard's storehouse, there are a couple of bottles in Giscard's house as well, if you haven't looted it already. Also, wine sellers sell Gremlin Wine; there's one southeast of Formello, one in the Great Cave near Almaria, and a couple in other places. Or you can just kill the gremlin. That counts as successfully completing the quest too. [ Tuesday, January 03, 2006 15:04: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Geneforge 3 Review in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, January 2 2006 22:28 Profile Homepage #3 Jeff deliberately set up a major subplot in Avernum 4 so as to require a new Avernum game for its resolution. The good news (at least for Jeff) is that this means Jeff gets to sell another game in the Avernum series. The bad news is that we already know what it's going to be about. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Hint: the image's filename includes the phrase "captured German soldiers". Was there a name at that picture? Click on it, bring up a contextual menu and choose View Image. Observe the image's URL in your browser's address bar. The filename also includes "May 2", if that date means anything to you. I clicked 'Save As', and the filename was 'untitled', not 'captured German soldiers'. That's why I didn't tell you to click Save As. This link points straight to the image. Note the URL.

Postaroni, Pizzabella! in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, January 2 2006 21:04 Profile Homepage #32 No -- other titles of non-deleted members (specifically, TGM) contain specially-formatted characters that don't carry over correctly either. It's because everything within CODE tags is interpreted literally instead of being converted to what it represents.

Reptile Island (spoilers) in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, January 2 2006 15:27 Profile Homepage #15 You're right. One quest (to find the island) is from Marshall in West Cotra, and the other (to find evidence of the sea monsters being there) is from Ruth in Silvar. You can only get the quest from Ruth when the shade isn't in town. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
Singleton party in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, January 2 2006 14:56 Profile Homepage #72 quote: Originally written by Mivayan: That shouldn't matter. If I understand it right, the math is 0.60 * 0.80 * 0.95 = 0.456, meaning 54.4% of the damage is stopped, as opposed to 65 which it would be in most systems. Question: which (if any) is displayed on screen? The number displayed for your armour in the character info screen is simply the sum of all the percentages. Which means that having a displayed armor value of something ludicrous like 108 is actually somewhat misleading, since you'll still only be blocking most of the damage rather than all of it.

In that second dimension everything is tuined. Everything if filthy. People are ill and dying. before things will be settled in your won world, you should fix the problems in the second dimension. That is something that always intruiged me. There's a BoE scenario called The Nature of Evil which touches on these themes.
