bogus standard candidate Infiltrator Member # 4592	written Monday, March 28 2005 23:26 Profile #27 It's been years since I've used a Mac, I've got one quick, and painfully obvious question: How do I manage to check the life of the creatures I'm fighting? I've done about 6 areas. Some spoilers. It seems we shouldn't sell those crystals that quickly. I wonder which to keep, though? According to a book we'll be able to create items, but which crystal should we keep? (I'm thinking not the flawed ones, but. . .) So far not much story. Litalia is really furious and is causing havok, but not much else. Well. . . this time we've got Days! I wonder if this is something that changes according to how many regions you visit, though? I loved the double map for the School region, and wonder if that will repeat for others? (the fort, perhaps?) Like the new graphics too! I like the animation for the Mind! (those cute little limbs moving. . . aaaah! What a cutesy!) I also enjoy that you can sell almost anything, and that, apparently, shopkeepers have unlimited money (at least the one in South End seems to have, unless I missed some obvious number on the screen) Oh, the mines have changed slightly too. I like the change. Although I enjoyed deactivating one by one, this new method sure saves time. I guess the demo will cover the first two islands? Have you guys noticed any secret or easter egg yet? I've seen none. (anybody with tons of leadership: can you convince the Battle creation to fight with you in the Training Grounds? Can you get the Mind to give more information about the special Test, although it is self evident, I guess (tough mamma, I mean, daddy, I mean thingy.)) What are those green tubes/columns in the school? The ones with the swirling liquid inside? Any ideas? The Master of the school (Hoge?) was very interested in how one responds to his dilemma. I wonder on which side he's on. Well . . . it seems we've got two sects right off the bat: Litalia and the. . . Awakened, I guess. We could count three if we assume being loyal to the Shapers. We can finally wear necklaces and pants!!! Also, I like the armor as percentage. Well. Going to enter the Mines tomorrow. Good luck guys!!! I also want to barricade myself in my room. Darn work and darn morning classes. Cheers!

He's supposed to be a guardian, but seems to be lacking in the shaping-skills department. Not to mention he can't carry anything, which is frustrating, and he's a boiling cauldron of moronic rage in all the important dialogues. Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00

Fringy MacGee Apprentice Member # 5540	written Tuesday, March 29 2005 14:19 Profile #35 ^ i really am not a fan of the new item getting/equipping window. I thought the old way was much more efficient. plus I find myself losing important items when i unequip them, because i seem to instinctively want to put them to the right side of the screen, like in the old one, which in this game is "the ground". bah!

Kind of a hassle to do all of that mouse moving and clicking ( i don't use the keys, to far apart) I'm not sure what your problem is - the computer generally has two input devices the mouse and keyboard. If you don't use the keyboard you will have to use the mouse. Inherent in using the mouse as an input device is clicking and draging. For many things it is not the most efficient input device - try typing a letter just using the mouse and some kind of character selection matrix. Frankly, I find it trivial to hit 'a' or 'b' or whatever when I want to pick up something from the ground. My left hand is on the keyboard anyway, 'a' is right on the home row, 'b' is a whole centimetre away from my pointer finger. I must be missing something...

Dolphin Shaper Member # 5437	written Tuesday, March 29 2005 15:23 Profile #37 I have been very comfortable with the new inventory. I tend to use the keyboard and just type the letter. I don't see why the ground would be mistaken for your pack, at a quick glace it is easy to see you don't have sticks, rocks, and skulls in your pack. I like being able to arrange things and carry so much more. The old way didn't seem to have a very good way of organizing the inventory. I always had to scroll through the menu looking for what I wanted. Now it's all right there in front of me. Posts: 2032 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00

You get to control Alwan and Greta, so you don't need to worry about blundering stupidity. They're actually rather useful. That was me... So, you get to control them, eh? I may try that out. In GF2 I got really mad at my companions when I raided the Radiant College and sabotaged their whatsit. Hostile energy was being excuded at an alarming rate, and everybody in the place wanted to kill us, so what should we do? Run for our lives? Or stick real close to the source of the radiation, flinging puny acid bolts at every Drayk and Ur-Glaahk that comes close? :rolleyes: Fine, you stay there and do that, then. Excuse me while I run for my life. I lost about half my party because those fools would rather die a pointless death than skeedadle and continue living. I guess maybe they had chronic depression problems and that seemed the only way out. I don't think too much of GF3's story so far. Still, I'm still well within the "demo" section (even though I'm now registered!) and those are seldom very stellar storywise. I shall reserve judgement.

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 06:48 Profile #39 Since this is a busy week for me, I will not be able to submerge myself 24/7 in G3 like some of the young whippersnappers on this forum. So to avoid spoilers I will be disappearing from here until I finish the game at my own slow pace. I believe I have avoided spoilers in what follows. I'm starting with a loner Agent on Torment, and I believe I'm approaching the end of the demo area (though those nice folks at Spiderweb got me registered almost immediately). I'll be at level 16 in a couple of ticks. So far I'm very pleased. I'm trying not to burn my bridges with any faction, to keep my options open as long as possible. This is proving surprisingly difficult, which is quite cool. In G2 you could string everyone along pretty easily, but now I feel much more like I'm sitting on a powderkeg. Some of the 'no turning back' options that I have avoided so far are things I will definitely want to try out another time. Also the new engine seems to allow quite a few wrinkles we didn't see in G1 or G2, and this is nice. Finally the AI seems to be able to play smarter, but the fact that (minor) Daze now affects everyone in sight keeps saving me from certain doom.

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Wednesday, March 30 2005 09:39 Profile #41 Okay, I started over and picked up Greta, and she also seems to be pretty weak sauce - my new fyoras hit with more frequency than she does. Is there really any point to picking up NPCs, other than for variety? Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00
