It was a joke because people were talking about their age. It was meant to be funny, not serious. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Yeah, I'm learning the hard way that jokes don't tend to translate well across the internet. EDIT: Haste makes typos!

How, Jeff Vogel is very obviously a man who is learning by doing. I can assure you that a lot of technical imbalances are smoothed out nicely in the Avernum series, which is probably one of the reasons why he did the remake. You'll notice more of such flaws as you'll progress in the game. And yet, it is a beautiful thing. A remake always loses some of the freshness and vitality a story had when it was newly created. But, to enjoy this beauty, you've got to play the darn thing. ;) -------------------- Polaris Rache's A3 Site reformatted 2/3 done Rache's A3 Site, original version Posts: 1828 | Registered: Saturday, January 11 2003 08:00 |

In E2 the route to Formello is easier if you follow the road east from Fort Draco past Tor's Farm (a source of easy experience) and then go south as soon as you can. There aren't as many dangerous encounters as along the southern route. You don't have the money to buy a boat yet to avoid random encounters. Nioca - ask for Fenwick if you want to talk to the oldest gamer on the board. At least he is from what I've seen since he's about 60. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Encumbrance only affects what you can wear -- there's no weight limit in Exile 1 or 2. (In Exile 3, items do have weight and you can only carry a limited amount of weight, but it still doesn't affect your encumbrance.) -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

quote:It also affects your ability to cast mage spells. Since all my PCs are high-level mages (among other things), I usually have a heck of a time keeping my encumbrance down and still have a decent chance of my armor absorbing at least some damage. On the plus side, though, encumbering items are usually worth a lot of money, so I just sell them off, pocket the cash, and buy a ton of spells. quote:Actually, it started out as an offhanded comment by me about my age, and was meant to be nothing more. It just snowballed out of control. I won't do that again; once burned, twice shy, as the saying goes. :( -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

Just for clarity's sake: Encumbrance is determined by what you wear (not what you carry), and it has two effects, which can be partially mitigated by Defense skill: lowering your to-hit chance, and making your mage spells fail. I seem to recall finding a plethora of superb 0 and 1 encumbrance armor pieces in all three Exiles. Maybe not enough for a party of six mages, but if you have six mages then how is anything making it to melee range anyway? Make one mage a tank for when you're in a narrow maze and you should be fine. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

quote:Don't worry, I'm no newbie, I find a ton of suitable armor pieces (no pun intended), even for a 6-mage party. Junk shops are wonderful places to buy stuff, especially in E3. edit: Mithral Chain Mail: Need I say more? As for something making it to melee range, what little that does is usually dead one or two rounds later anyway, so no biggie there. By the way, all 6 of my mages are also trained as priests. It's expensive as heck, and I have some trouble against heavy-armored troops, but I've been playing like this long enough to know what I'm doing.

What does it mean when a "?" appears under the name of one of my party on the main "party stats" screen? Only one guy has that. -------------------- How786 Soya-Kaas cheeses have dairy in them! Posts: 50 | Registered: Tuesday, October 17 2006 07:00 |

One of your characters has been dumbfounded. Your fighters won't show much reaction to that, but your mage/priest loses the ability to cast higher level spells for a while. It wears off after some time. As your priest gains levels, he will get access to a mind curing spell.

It's under "The Exile Screen" in the manual/docs. —Alorael, who can get there by pressing apple- in the DOCMaker manual. On a PC or in a PDF version (is there one?) it will take ever so slightly more work to find it. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

You can do one of three things: 1) Cast Restore Mind. 2) Drink a Potion of Clarity. 3) Go to a healer. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!
