If you're going to use any canisters you might as well use them all. The penalties appear quickly (from the first canister, I think) and aren't really very severe.
This has not been my experience. From what I've seen by looking through the scripts, the lowest check is at 5 canisters and the highest is 12. (The check at 5 is just somebody telling you that he knows you've used canisters, though; it doesn't affect your interactions with him.) I'm pretty sure it takes at least 12 to affect the ending as well.

Regarding Burkes: you can betray him until you've finished leading the caravan to the Cairn Gates, since after that General Crowley leaves and you can't report to him any more.

Regarding charms: the rotghroth fangs are usually the limiting ingredient for me. Save up glaahk eyes too.

General Crowley shows up if you sneak far enough into the Shaper Camp and then try to leave. You literally can't miss him, since he talks to you automatically. If you've already finished Chapter 1, he won't appear.

I think it's Alice who helps you with the scrolls, but only if the shade isn't there at the time. I suppose it's possible that the game doesn't expect you to kill the shade before talking to her about the scrolls, in which case you may indeed have made the quest unfinishable. The rewards are just a level of a couple of spells, though, so if you have all the spells already it's not that helpful.

It's forums. Fora used to work too, but now redirects to Desp Main.

Recent parts of the arena competition and RP are still archived, and various people may have older bits saved on their computers. Quite a lot is lost to the ages, though. (You're not really missing much.)

In Dynasty Warriors V, there were some levels in which the mini-map would not appear to make things more confusing for the player. It was most effective. That would be an interesting element that Jeff could add.
Nethergate had mazes in which the automap was unavailable, and so did the Exile series. Most of the time they were a nuisance; the Hedge Prison was pretty much the worst part of Nethergate.

By "can'", Nalyd of course means "can't".

Talking to people doesn't help much in this game; doing quests for them is worth a lot more. Helping Shaila (you have to escort her to the docks, not the bridge -- enter Forsaken Docks from the left and talk to her) will improve your reputation with the Shapers, while killing her will improve your reputation with the Rebels.

Windows Version - Creation Absorbing Bug? in Geneforge 4: Rebellion

If you try to get your creations killed in combat, do they die normally or do they also stay at 1 HP? If they just don't die, it sounds as if they've been rendered invulnerable, probably due to a scripting error.

It's possible that you "stole" it from yourself. UBB is wacky like that.

One proviso: elevation is a fine thing as long as the way things are displayed is tweaked so that being behind a hill doesn't mean you can't see a damn thing around you.

I didn't mind the Honeycomb either, but I, probably like you, grew up on old-skool dungeon crawlers, of the kind that nobody who didn't grow up on them can tolerate.

Except for the runes that do 99 damage and congratulate you for completing the scenario.

Oh, and also the fact that BoE has nodes, not scripts.

By the way, don't ever open any door that requires more than 2 or 3 tools, as there's almost certainly a key somewhere.

Actually, I've had a bug with healing before. Sometimes when I cast healing or status spells outside of combat mode, they don't take effect. It seems to happen more often if I cast a lot of healing or status effect spells in quick succession, if I cast while walking, or if I heal while taking lingering damage from poison or acid.

There's a Thahd in the mudpits; are you sure that's not what you're seeing? They're both big and red.

That one's not actually a useless combination: Magically Apt makes you better with spells, while Magically Inept makes you unable to use magical items.

For future reference, Tech Support would probably be the appropriate forum for this.

Anyway, what you should do depends on whether your computer came with OS 9 or not. If so, you can just boot from the original install CD and reinstall OS 9. If not, you'll have to get a copy from somewhere (presumably the same place as you got it in the first place).

Even trying to move into an empty space can be difficult. Sometimes it's literally impossible to move to a location even though you have a clear path to it, because there are bits of other creations covering every clickable part of the space.
