Play it, figure out what works for you, and ask any specific questions you might have. —Alorael, who has absolutely no idea what marganys means. It looks like a misspelled word, but he can't come close to determining what it's supposed to be. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Except for advice on specific parts of the game like locating items, there is no right answer for creating a party and playing. Do try to use proper spelling since you will get picked on about it. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

The game includes quite a tips in the 'instant help'. Read them the first time, then switch off the instant help forever. This should cover the basics like equipping weapons and armor and how to fight. In Avernum learning to fight is the most important thing to understand. The only danger you are in is getting killed by a lot of wandering monsters, there is little else you can do wrong, at least not early on. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

I'm in Fort Avernum and do not plan to go to Fort Duvno until after Silvar so therefore I don't have lockpicks. Why I mention this is because I need to find a way to switch characters around for bashing doors. Why I ask is i'm tired of loaading every time my first character dies. :confused: :confused: Posts: 41 | Registered: Friday, May 11 2007 07:00 |

No. There is a Reputation stat, but more is better (as opposed to having to choose between pleasing different factions). You get more reputation mainly from completing quests and helping people. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Originally by Faldnag: quote:I think that the strongest character always attempts to bash down the doors and so will always take damage. I've never found bashing to be effective, personally. A lot of the storerooms in Fort Avernum probably can't be opened for a while, anyway. Make a note of the doors you can't open so you can come back later when you're more experienced and move on.

Bashing is pretty worthless. Youl'l need lockpicks or a mage who can cast Unlock. The latter will be useful countless times. —Alorael, who could find only one plausible "margany" on Google, and it's apparently a dying indigenous Australian language. Um?

Marghani gives 2300 Google results, of which I'd say 3/4 are related to the Middle East. However, it seems to be only used as a name for people or places, and doesn't have a Wikipedia page. I'd say it's a name of an old historical figure. -------------------- quote: Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |

It shouldn't be an adjective, because you can't do that in English. You can't "have a microscopic of advice" in English. Turkish? Persian? Kurdish?

Hebrew? It's definitely not microscopic in Hebrew, though. Actually, I'd be unsurprised if most Middle Eastern languages used loanwords from Latin roots for microscopic. —Alorael, who gives up. Nobody can figure out even what language the word is from and it's obviously either exceptionally uncommon or not the standard Romanization.

First, I don't give a (censored) about word origins. Second, let's get back on topic. That said, quote:Forget bashing doors altogether, it's normally not worth the time or effort. I've long since learned from the Exile trilogy not to bother with it. Since it seems like you've barely started, your PCs aren't nearly strong enough to do much of it anyway. Here's what you should do instead: 1) Leave Fort Avernum. 2) Kill wandering monsters, and take their stuff (and gain some XP too! :) ). 3) Sell the stuff you picked up from the dead monsters. 4) Repeat 2 & 3 until you have about 500-1000 gold. 5) Go north to Formello and buy Unlock Doors at level 2 from a mage in the library. Now you can open most locked doors. Also, Dikiyoba - You're right, the strongest character always attempts to bash the door down. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts. And I know I'm not crazy because the little man who lives on my shoulder told me so. If people don't think there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with you.

Going north to Formello runs the risk of being chased by large bandit groups before you are ready. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

You need to have a spell at level 1 or 2 before you can boost it to 3. —Alorael, who thinks you've probably got plenty of Rune Reading for now. In fact, for most of the game you won't need much. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Just explore since you want to be powerful when you go in to it. Buy a boat and explore the islands and along the shore. You can get some experience and have a quick retreat when you have trouble. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |
