Thanks. Before I forget : I'm french, give me a break :D A good willing french newbie to whom the word "singleton" wouldn't have been a fisrt choice as an entry in the search engine (even though as I browse through the previous posts right now I see Randomizer used the term). As Rent-an-Ihrno said, I find it difficult to care for a party of four. Plus I'd rather have one weak character going stronger and stronger (again, à la Elder scrolls) than four characters that constantly have to rely on each other. However I've played Avernum some time ago with four characters and I had troubles staying alive while encountering foes so I had to ask for strong tips if I was to play with only one guy (one girl actually).

Bah, don't apologise, the search function is pretty useless at the best of times. Not only that, but since a certain recent piece of sabotage, searches have become even less reliable. Also, you do get a certain amount of credit for being French. In fact the genius combination of croissant and coffee for breakfast gives you a LOT of credit in my book. Mmm, croissants. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image. But then, that's not a complaint." -Scorpius Geneforge 4 stuff.

quote:The rule, which you, in your infinite wisdom, have not grasped, is the following (and it bears repeating every now and then): it is generally considered bad manners to revive a topic without anything genuinely new and useful to add or ask. This person did in fact have something genuinely new and useful to ask (sort of), so this topic revival was fine. Woe betide those who virtually never have anything useful to say, though (and you know who you are). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

quote:I never lose! Contemplate this: while you were still playing Avernum, I cheated, got done early, and moved on to other, equally fun games. So really, we may have had the same amount of fun, but I had the more well rounded gaming experience. Thus, I come out on top, I am the Emperor. -------------------- You lose.

That's assuming equal fun per time. I'll accept that assumption since it's too subjective to argue, but then there's another problem. You're getting less time per game, so you're actually paying more per unit of fun. —Alorael, who gets more fun per time, more time per game, and more game per fun.

Just a question, that is slightly related, has any one ever made a singleton with only luck (not counting the skills you get for free [herb finding] or the ones you can buy [BMaster, Anatomy etc.])? -------------------- "There are no turtles anywhere" Ponder Stibbons One, Two, Three, Pfhor, Five… Avernum 2 AM Status - Maps - Tomb of Dahris-Bok - Annotation - Fort Draco/Ganrick Spider/Areana Caves I have an interest in "custard titles".

Oh God. Luck. I remember one time in Exile III, I was playing a singleton with maxed out luck. Then I drank a potion of paralysis. I waited almost 20 minuets before my character finally died. I was using a very old Mac at the time so Ctrl Alt Del wasen't an option. Oh, the agony. :( -------------------- You acquire an item: Radio Free Foil Posts: 1169 | Registered: Monday, September 23 2002 07:00 |

There has always been apple-option-escape. Sure, it had a better than even chance of causing calamitous freezing, but it was an option. —Alorael, who wishes BoE monsters had Luck.
