Erika Maroonmark Shock Trooper Member # 5969	written Friday, April 28 2006 16:03 Profile #0 In Exile 2 and 3, when you go through a door, it opens. In Avernum, you can close them up again so that if you want to steal something from John Q. Public, you can without anyone seeing you. In Exile, looking at the door doesn't work like it does in Avernum– is it possible to close them? -------------------- A C, an E-flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

BainIhrno Infiltrator Member # 5132	written Sunday, April 30 2006 17:18 Profile Homepage #12 I didn't steal things because of ethics for a while when I first played the Exile games. I eventually realized this really was just a game. However, I found that most stuff that you can get away with stealing is generally garbage - almost everything in BoE is, and most items in E3 are, in my opinion. Haven't really seen most of E2's treasures. Sure, you can make some money, but I find stealing low-value items a waste of time - I find it easier to kill some monsters, and pick their treasure up. EDIT: Also, does something actually happen in E3 if everyone has pants and shirts. If so, I missed it.

Well, at least that's how I thought of it back when I was eleven. But are Bandits "Evil"? I mean, some people think adventurers are as bad as Bandits, so is killing them ethical? - Archmagus Micael [ Sunday, April 30, 2006 23:14: Message edited by: Archmagus Micael ] -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Monday, May 1 2006 13:58 Profile Homepage #17 There are some BoE scenarios (I think later works by Alcritas are among them) where breaking into people's houses decreases your reputation, and bad reputataion not only makes things harder for you, but effects the ending as well. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill.

No, you need to kill monsters. He just doesn't steal stuff.

Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Thursday, May 4 2006 09:46 Profile Homepage #21 In Exile, though, it's rather significant, since the minimum armor damage stacks. It's a whole lot better to wear six pieces of armor that protect from 1-1 damage, than one piece that protects from 1-10. Also, don't forget that in E1 and E2, nobody wore pants. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00

It's like switching your Iron Broadsword for an Iron Wave Blade, even though the wave blade is only one damage point better. -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 \| Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00
Slarty Raven v. Writing Desk Member # 261	written Sunday, May 7 2006 22:22 Profile Homepage #24 Except, of course, that the pants are guaranteed to reduce every hit by 1 damage, whereas changing blades just increases one end of your damage range by 1, for an average damage increase of half a point. Pants are better than wave blades! -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00
