  1. Whenever there is a nathalie in the bunch you're setting a high bar for the rest. I actually wanted to see if khalida manages to beat on this. I suppose its too early to say if she does or not for now.
  2. Ya i checked on later. They don't. The msi site mislead me a bit. My bad.
  3. Seems no but now there are more enemies imune to other kinds of damage. Sorcerers are still a better option as they have very varied attacks. Im making a shaman run though. Early level they seem the most reliable.
  4. Maybe its the other way around but the two labels are sorta related. Anyway as i said its ancient. But other games work in it. I wouldn't even have created the thread if not for that. Hell i wouldn't even try installing the game in it. But i figured there would be a different problem. In any case, since no solutions are available there's no point in beating the same bush repeatedly. Like i said, dirext x works fine. I'll be able to play
  5. Yah i did. I put on old machines option and lowest requirements in general. It still has a horrible frame rate even on the in game menu screen. As i said before though I don't think its the graphics card. It can run games i'd assume heavier. Mount and blade warborn, mount and blade fire and sword, dragon age origins, dragon age inquisition, i think torchlight 2 as well. Its an MSI laptop and msi owns nVidia. Even though its about 8 years old the graphics card seems to handle some relatively recent games. It is possible that im wrong on this but im skeptical. The surprise wouldn't be there if other games crashed or didn't work. In any case direct x version works so as soon as i can make it fullscreen i'll be able to enjoy it with few complaints
  6. Sorry to resurrect this thread but on; Memory of Light WOT14 Edit: That is a major spoiler. So avoid it if you haven't finished. Srsly sorry blxz.
  7. Its a laptop. I'd think avadon 3 doesn't fit into the significant. And im almost sure dragon age 2 has a higher requirement. And i can play that. Even if its an ancient machine that has achieved apotheosis.
  8. I agree with the rest. But this is blasphemy xD Ok but as slartibus was saying in previous games while you dont usually get to know first hand of their quirks as much, you do by other peoples opinion on the characters. On their own they don't ammount to much of a personality. But coupled with what others say you get a decent picture. Flaws included. Its just not personal which diminishes their direct impact on the player.
  9. I suppose i shouldn't have said "well written" though fervour inducing doesn't come out as easy. To be fair until Alorael explained further i was also a bit confused.
  10. I don't think he meant characters we liked or well written characters as much as he meant characters we can argue strongly in favour or against. Something that devides our opinions on. Like with factions. Or with nathalie where some heavily dislike her while others strongly like her. At least that's what i understood of what he wrote.
  11. True on both accounts. Though weather on purpose or simply as a smaller piece of the big faction figure he has written characters well, the most obvious being greta and alwan. One could say they are simple figure pieces for their faction it is quite possible to be pro shapers and dislike alwan as well as being pro rebel and disliking greta. Other examples are khyryk and shanti(who by herself makes barzite an unappealing faction to the player) and Lankan. Now that i think about it most of the better written characters are or were shapers. Avernum doesn't have much in the way of factions but the characters are well written too(though usually there are no hearty/fervorous arguments on their worth. The only difference avadon seems to bring is how personal it is to you, all your partners put you in difficult situations. Tueir motivations and personality affect your life directly.
  12. Finally i can be myself without being significantly worse than the rest. Its all i wanted.
  13. Are shamans still handicapped by the energy damage thing?
  14. So, i cant find the card information. It has 3.3 windows experience index. Intel Pentium dual cpu t3400 @2.16ghz Ram: 3gbs 32 bit os It is a remnant from ww2 Direct x version works fine but no full screen
  15. Oooh this reminds me; maybe the lack of dialogue and very uncharismatic rebels are because Jeff wanted people to choose shapers? On previous games the go to faction was awakened. By removing any middle ground the choice turns out harder. And tilting to shapers.
  16. I was gonna say haterz gonna hate out of actual good come backs but now i have to grudgingly concede. Still my favourite spiderweb game. Probably though cause it was the first game i played with any literacy in english. So i'll agree with the person upstairs on their assessment on different generations of fans getting a different feel to the games. The first geneforge for me was killing people and making beasts. So ya,
  17. No, nothing on the background. That pc is mostly used for storage. I don't think reinstalling would work. Avernum 6 had the same issue with this pc but since i had options i never dug into it. I'll later check if its in 64 or 32 bit. Maybe that would help. But thanks for the input
  18. My other computer broke down so im using this old one now. I got the GOG 2.0.0.1 version i think, and its painfully slow. I don't think its cause of the graphics card as i can play both dragon age 1 and 2 with little limitation. Any help? Ah. Its windows 7 i think the problem is with it. And i really want to play this cause this game is our baby. Unfortunately its going to be a while until i get a new pc.
  19. I liked g3 a lot, the gameplay, the maps, greta and alwan, i liked almost everything cept the storyline and factions so im glad he's remaking one of my favorites into something better. Oddly i actually liked a4 too, as people said it was like a3 but in the caverns. The thing is, i was very interested in it, like oooh shady shade monsters in cities... Ohh lake monsters in lakes... What did this? Is it a new ark for a powerful enemy? If even the vahnathai are contacting us it must be something big indeed. All the way until i find out its rentar. Then im like... You again? Pls stop. Overall i liked the game though. Still lots of complaints in both games so i think a story re hash would work very well for them. I just hope it doesn't ruin direct plot build up to g4. A4 though liked it as i might it could have been completely erased from the avernum series and no one would notice. It lacks any sort of relevance and the quirky writing is not there.
  20. I'd think that would be a bit similar to avadon. Should work though. Also tru. A5 did well at it but either origins could work well specially with the cartography idea. To be more clear, some of the avernum cities wouldn't have exhisted. Other than knowledge of the great caves one would be a bit disoriented.
  21. Yes! The roman empire expansion through the multiverse! Though if both factions are thrown into space it streches plausibility if they keep on fighting even there.
  22. First expedition wouldn't really work as a prequel due to gameplay mechanics. Unless you lose a team mate at certain specific quests/areas until you're one sole guy that dies too. plus there is the fact that the first expedition goes in heavily armed and equiped with magical relics etc etc... Making the level up thing and increased ability moot. Specially since avernum didn't even have metal in the beginning. Maybe access to special magic over time would work but even then... The grah hoth thing and the beginning of avernum as a nation could work but the story would be too close and to similar to eftp in time and concept. Leaving me with vahnatai origin which jeff said clearly that it wouldn't happen(something about wanting to preserve the alienicity of them, though my memory might prove inaccurate) or slith exile. Which could really work out and i believe there is story potential for it and small nuances of it, such as moral alignment making you either become a savage slith with bonus to damage and resistance but much like canisters, it would cause you to fight in some areas where dialogue would work and have some factions removed. Or you become an enlightened one, i suppose bonus to healing. Plus some factions inaccessible as well. Thats the extent of my speculation for now.
  23. Congratulations! All the best there and may it be long and happy.
  24. Most of these are actually good. Not the so bad its good kind. Like genuinely good. Thanks for the Suggestions. The witch was messed up.
