  1. Well, my situation is pretty much screwed. I think I joined the Anama with a very bad team. My priest kicks much ass, but my former mage is a shadow of what he used to be. In the previous games, I remember, joining the Anama gave you a 1:1 ratio on your mage spells to priest spells. So, technically, my mage should have been around level 10 in priest spells, but for some reason, he only got 8. So I had to waste points just to get him up there. My party: Human Front Line Fighter with around 8 strength, 7 dexterity, 7 endurance, 7 melee Nephil Archer with 6 strength, 10 dexterity, 6 endurance, and 12 in bows with around 6 in sharpshooter Human Priest with 6 strength, 5 dexterity, 8 intellegence, 6 endurance, and 17 in priest skills Slith Battlemage with 7 strength, 4 dexterity, 8 intellegence, 7 endurance, had 10 in mage skills, now 8 in priest skills. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. With everything costing so many damn points as I level up, I can't invest in much, because that takes around 3 or 4 levels to raise something twice. Most of my game now has been buffing first, going into a battle, letting my front and battlemage bottleneck enemies, hope I can deal enough damage with my front line and priest casting smite to remove things, and then struggle my way into the boss fight. I did the first artifact dungeon with all of the slith and had to reload around 7 times, and that's even before I meet the boss. And I only beat the boss because he didn't summon millions of shades like he usually does. Right now, I'm trying to do the Lake of Trials and I'm almost ready to throw my keyboard out the window. And this is just fighting those Repulsion Spheres. Then I get into the two battle tests and don't last more then 2 rounds. The demon does a hell of a lot of damage to me and the fire burns for too much damage, and the other test with the frost slime...one attack from one of them drops all of my characters to about half health. And they have, like, 4 right away. What am I doing wrong?
  2. Maybe I'm just having a REALLY bad time with this game, but I can't get anywhere anymore with the characters I have. I'm around level 23 with most of them and I joined the Anama (correct way) and it's been hell every step of the way. I'm constantly slowed all the time, and my characters keep taking way more damage then they should be. I only have 110 HP on average, and I'm getting hit 50-60 points every hit by bosses, some times multiple times. It's frustrating enough from me to just quit and never try this game again. >.< The Anama should not be this hard. What am I doing wrong?
  3. I don't know if I'm just doing something wrong or if the game is this tough... I've managed my way into Tranquility and now I'm on the quest to the sentinal workshop. But the enemies are just so damn tough. >.< The bladed ones are easy enough, but the flame ones can take one of my guys out in one shot if I'm not careful. Maybe it's just that I'm not at the level I should be. My average HP per character is only about 70. And my resists are around 30% for everyone, save the archer who seems to be weak as hell. I'm getting very, very frustrated and the shock sentinals kinda made me put this game down. I don't want to whine, but if this game isn't even half way done and I'm having this much trouble, I don't want to continue at all. Can anyone help me a bit please?
  4. I don't mean to make this a flame war, by any means. But something just bugs me about the changes in Avernum 4. I got the demo and played it last week. I've been playing Exile and Avernum since I heard about the first Exile. I loved Exile, I like Avernum, but this new set-up just...bugs me. It's almost like the game's being striped down each time a new one comes in. I've seen how people get PO'ed when others come in here and wish for E4...so I won't. I'll simply ask the question of if I should buy Avernum 4. Is it worth my money? Is it expansive? Is it immersive? Does the plot have a lot of depth? Do the new skill changes and spell changes make it better or worse? From what I've played...I can't decide. *puts hands together* Please don't think I'm trying to put the game and series down. Spiderweb Software has made me put more hours into gaming then any other gaming company in the world. I just want to know where they're going with this new direction to their games.
