Those are all the artifacts; there are no artifact boots. Shaped Boots provide decent protection as boots go, but have no other special properties. And no, you can't enchant an item more than once. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

WKS: Don't worry, you'll pick it up as you go along. In fact, if I didn't know better I'd say from your opening move that you were familiar with the famous 1997 championship match in Rome. I invoke Zenker's triangulation rule to enter at Cockfosters. [ Monday, March 26, 2007 22:46: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

quote:Avernum and Geneforge, as I've already pointed out above, are the games of about 10 years ago. SW makes retro games; that's their appeal. We're just a little more retro than you are.

When creations can be controlled safely and precisely from afar by shapers and fight more effectively than all but the best of human soldiers, the rider becomes somewhat redundant. quote:"Laziness" is perhaps overly harsh; implementing a mounted soldier convincingly is not an easy task. Think for a while on how you'd do it, and then think on the disadvantages of whatever approaches you might consider. Game design isn't easy. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:I tried. Salassar gets (even more) ticked off at you and won't tell you a thing. The conversation ends with you asking to see Greta and being let in no matter what; the only difference is whether you talk Ghaldring into giving you 1000 clams or not. There's probably a Leadership requirement, but I'm too lazy to check the scripts right now.

Smashing the machine will prevent you from completing the Help the Infiltrators quest and therefore cause you to miss out on two rather nice rewards, but it won't prevent you from finishing the game for either side.

Hang onto them. You need artifacts more than you need money. You can probably sell stuff that's just used for making wands and things, though, unless you really like wands.

quote:You emphasised the wrong part. Try the seven words immediately after that. quote:By that argument, you could say that humans have no capacity for empathy either, since anyone whom anyone helped could conceivably turn out to be a useful resource in future. quote:All that proves is that they don't particularly care about Greta. Remember, you're trying to prove a negative existential claim here: that there is nobody about whom drakons care. That means that even one instance of a drakon caring about somebody invalidates your claim, while any instance in which a drakon doesn't care about somebody proves nothing one way or the other.

"Better engine" is entirely subjective. I find Avernum's graphics almost intolerably ugly, and it's a real barrier to my enjoyment -- Exile is much prettier. And if you think most of Exile's spells are useless, you just don't know how to use them properly. Of all the spells in BoE, I can think of maybe two that I've never found any use for. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
