is there an item list yet? in Geneforge 2
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, November 19 2005 15:54 Profile Homepage #4 It's probably a nameserver issue on your end. Not everyone can access that particular site, depending on whether their ISP is feeling cooperative on that particular day. If someone who can access it would copy-paste the item list into a post and post it here, that'd be just peachy keen.

Like Geneforge 2? in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, November 19 2005 15:52 Profile Homepage #1 In my opinion and that of many others at these forums, the plot isn't as complex as that of either Geneforge 1 or 2. There are only two sides you can join, and you're forced to pick one or the other. Gameplay-wise, it's a lot like Geneforge 2, but bigger. If you liked Geneforge 2's gameplay and aren't tired of it yet, you'll probably enjoy Geneforge 3. If you play mainly for the plot, well, at least Geneforge 3 continues the ongoing storyline. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

There's a bug in the scenario which makes it unwinnable if you use the charm too early.

As for Melbourne being the most "exiting" place on earth, I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but there are certainly a lot of people living there who want to leave.

So I could buy some Coke shares and come back forward and sell them: A single Coke share bought back then and sold today is worth about $90,000. With what money? Where are you going to find cash that would have been legal tender back in 1917? Obviously, your bank account details aren't going to be travelling back in time with you, after all. I suppose you could buy gold bullion or something today and take it into the past, or even get a job and earn some money whilst in the past, but there still remains the issue of proving that the stock you bought in 1917 and have not touched since is actually yours without letting anyone on to the fact that you've travelled in time. Seems to me that it'd be easier to buy something tangible that you can take back into the present with you, and that you know is going to be much more valuable now than then.

Who Are You? in Geneforge Series
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, November 18 2005 00:45 Profile Homepage #1 GF3 has two basic successful endings (loyalist and rebel), with minor variations on each (based on canister usage and so on). It's also possible to get a bad ending if you screw up (killing major NPCs on your own side can do this to you, especially as a loyalist). By the way, others have made the point that if you judge the rebels purely by their actions rather than their words, they don't seem to be nearly as pro-freedom as they claim to be. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

A4 - The New Geneforge? in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 17 2005 19:51 Profile Homepage #17 quote: Originally written by Icshi: I like smaller graphics, for one thing, less smooth and less hyper-realistic. Leaves more to the imagination, I think. I like feeling that I'm looking at a color drawing rather than a bunch of computer graphics. I guess I'm just terribly old-fashioned. See, lots of us agree with the general sentiment, but think that Exile's graphics were leaps and bounds above Avernum's in that respect. When graphics can't be meaningfully distinguished from stick figures, there's something wrong. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I installed it on this machine, but it only lets me view the files, not change them.

(It should be, though; uploading has been around since before Mozilla was a gleam in Netscape's eye.) Failing that, get a proper FTP client.

bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, November 17 2005 03:49 Profile Homepage #1 Have your mage summon a bunch of monsters to distract him (Create Illusions works well for this), then run past him. Try to keep at least one of your characters within sight of him at all times so that he doesn't teleport toward you again. Without giving too much away, your goal is to find what's controlling your leader and stop it. Watch out: there's at least one more nasty surprise in store for you.
