The right way to use Lvl3 soul capture in The Avernum Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, October 19 2005 06:02 Profile Homepage #10 Nope -- the overwriting is completely random. You can overwrite a Dark Wyrm with a goblin just as easily as the other way round. (So don't cast Capture Soul on goblins.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

"a small rebellion" help (stalker's fortress) in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, October 18 2005 22:09 Profile Homepage #4 Chief Spider appears to be describing what he thinks should be possible, not what actually is possible. Disregard his post. CS, you probably shouldn't post in help topics describing things you wish you could do but can't; it tends to confuse the person who actually wants help. owen, at the point in the game where you are, there's no choice except to kill Stalker. I'm pretty sure that once you demand to see Stalker, you've closed off the rebel path. Sorry. (As mentioned above, though, you can still kill Jaen afterwards.)

To go even farther, Jeff might actually make it advantageous for those up higher or something. Yes, but it should be harder because it's harder, not because the interface is awkward. There were times in Nethergate and Avernum where you literally could barely see or target your opponent because they were downhill from you and to the north. (On the other hand, if they were downhill and to the south, you could see them just fine.) There are many tactical difficulties involved in fighting on a hill, but inability to judge distances and directions is not one of them!

Avernum 4? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, October 18 2005 21:37 Profile Homepage #419 quote: Originally written by Drakefyre: ... You mean both are shown on the same view? I think what he's saying, in technical terms, is that if the staircase on the first floor of a tower is at, say, X 600, Y 450 on the world map, then the staircase on the second floor leading back down to the first will be at X 600, Y 450 on the second floor of the world map (or to put it another way, X 600, Y 450, Z 1). In other words, the second floor of every building that has a second floor is part of the same map, since they're all at the same altitude. I don't really see what gameplay advantages this could have, apart from the fact that if you had a way to fly ridiculously huge distances, you could get directly from the second floor of any building in the game to the second floor of any other building in the game without climbing downstairs.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, October 17 2005 14:34 Profile Homepage #10 The owners of a factory suspect there's a leaky pipe somewhere in the walls, so they call in a world-renowned engineer to find the leak. The engineer walks into the factory, wanders around for a little while, walks up to one wall, holds his ear against the wall for a moment, then takes a pencil out of his pocket and draws a little X on the wall. "The leak is directly behind that X," he says. The foreman thanks him and asks how much his advice is going to cost. "$10,000," the engineer replies. "What? But you've barely been here for two minutes! All you did was put a little X on the wall! I want that bill itemised!" The engineer shrugs, scribbles a little note on a piece of paper and hands it to the foreman. It reads: "Putting a little X on the wall, $1. Knowing where to put the little X on the wall, $9,999." -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

E3: fighting giants tactics in The Exile Trilogy
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Monday, October 17 2005 00:41 Profile Homepage #1 Well, basic tactics are to haste and bless your party before every major fight, and use spells like Slow Group to weaken your enemies if necessary. If you bless your party enough times, the giant fighters won't be able to do you much harm, so concentrate on attacking the shamans first. If you can't reach the shamans with your fighters, have your priests cast Wound on them. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Shall we dance? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, October 16 2005 19:58 Profile Homepage #20 quote: Originally written by Belisarius: I think where it's at is pretty irresponsibly lax, mind you - you can pick up some pretty needlessly deadly stuff at a gun show, for instance, and allowing civilians to get their hands on automatic weapons makes no sense. Well, the argument from particularly hard-boiled gun nuts is that the populace ought to be able to overthrow a tyrannical government by force of arms if necessary. Of course, realistically, that's not going to happen unless every second person owns a tank. Even then, if we carry that hypothetical situation to its logical conclusion, there's no reason to suppose that every one of those tank-owners is going to oppose the government strongly enough to try to overthrow it, and in fact there are likely to be plenty of private tank-owners willing to defend the government by force. So the actual result of an attempted revolution under circumstances where private citizens had the resources necessary to overthrow the government would, realistically, be a civil war that would make the Sudan look like a school playground. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!
