[/quote]I was packratting like that for awhile, too. In fact, that's usually how I play games like this. I always think "I'd better save it for something really important" but when something important does come up, I never remember to use it. El oh el. So now I either sell all those wands I never use or I just say to myself "OK, I don't care what the next combat is, it could be a single warped wolf, but I'm going to drink this potion of invulnerability, go crazy with this null wand and finally get these things out of my inventory!" Heh. Posts: 23 | Registered: Tuesday, October 31 2006 08:00 |

-X- urges you to use proper Grammar and Spelling. Otherwise, you will eventually be flamed into nonexistence. And people have gotten a lot better than that party at the end of the game. Especially if you're playing on "Easy". No offence, but it's true. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Maybe, but how many people can claim the same level of hording? —Alorael, who can't quite manage it. Sure, he saved literally every potion, ingredient, and crystal he found except the skill increasers, and he did stockpile arms and armor, but wands too? That's madness! And in Grindstone? Dedicated madness! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

That's only the madness level, though, not the dedicated madness level, because moving between zones is so easy. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

I don't think I could get through Avernum 4 hoarding that much. Even as a singleton I spent almost everything I could find that I didn't need for potion ingredients or to use in combat. I did keep some items so I could swap armors. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I love hording in most rpgs. However, when it comes to Spiderweb games, I tend not to. Why? In the Exile series, you could pick up items like trash, leave the zone, and when you came back, new trash will have grown back in it's place. Very disheartening. Now, I just habitually don't pick things up unless they are of value. I cheat to get money anyway, but I do still pick up things like gems, but that's probably because shiney things impress the ladies. -------------------- You lose.

I tend to hoard magic items (from potions to magic weapons), but this ended up not being very much in A4. In A3, my Hawke's Manse was insanely cluttered with dozens upon dozens of items. In A4, I had perhaps ten or fifteen items that I was keeping around. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

In A3, I just used that abandoned farmhouse somewhere near Sharimik. I cleaned out the bones and trash from the stables so I could keep my horses there, and basically made myself at home. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

quote:First, clean up your drool (digitally hands you a virtual towel). Second, it's really a rather simple art, it's more just a way to get some quick cash when I need it. As I've said in previous forums and threads, all I do is take anything I can get my hands on, even if it means stealing (when I can get away with it, of course). If I can equip something better than what I currently have, I do so. Then I separate everything else into 3 categories: treasure, possibly useful stuff, and junk. The treasure and possibly useful stuff gets put in a cache, the location of which depends on the game; the junk gets sold. If I need money, I sell treasure. If I collect an item that I think might be useful but later find out it isn't, I sell it. That's all there is to it. I'd show you my aforementioned GF1 screenshot showing what can happen, but I don't know how to post an image here without first posting it on a website. quote:To each their own, I guess. We all have our favorite places to use as caches. :) I just use that room in Fort Emergence out of force of habit from playing E3. Plus, overall, I find it's by far the easiest to get to.

I actually have had treasure stockpiles in Exile/Avernum games because of the low gold/coin cap and the relatively few money sinks. I always sold my treasure immediately in A4, though, and in G4 I always seemed to be barely squeaking by with cash. —Alorael, who ran a very, very expensive shaper. Actually using items became immensely tempting with the AP changes. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

He's my character in GF4. Was that unclear? You may address him as Ralogellut. —Alorael, who did not initially give him that name. It was a later addition based on the way his creations always ended up. Geneforging does funny things to people. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |
