  1. SUCCESS!!!! After comparing the files in the A3 folder with those in the A2 folder, I noticed a difference. The A3 application program was titled: Avernum 3 v1.0. The A2 program - the one giving me problems - was titled: Avernum 2 2.0.app. On a hunch, I retitled the A2 file, deleting the ".app" part, and suddenly, VOILA! It *was* saving the game all along; it's just that I couldn't access it with the application program titled incorrectly for some odd reason. Such technical quirks can be very annoying. I'm just glad I found a solution.
  2. Quote: What exactly happens when you attempt to save your game in A1 or 2? The computer pauses for a second, making all the right saving-type sounds, and my scroll screen reads: "Game saved." But when I try to load the game after having closed the program down, absolutely nothing happens. I've even gone straight into the A2 folder, clicking on my saved game from there (which is just a blank doc icon, as opposed to the nifty dragon icon that represents my A3 game file). The A2 programs open when I do this, but again, my attempt to load the saved game gets no response, not even a menu from which to choose the correct file. It's all just weird. And very, very frustrating.
  3. Quote: Have you tried re-downloading just to make sure it isn't a corrupted file somewhere? Yep - it does the same thing each time. Maybe I shouldn't have two Avernum games on my computer at the same time? It's only a 6 gig hd, but I have plenty of space.
  4. I have, at one point or another, downloaded the demos for A1 and A2, but I wound up deleting them because neither program would successfully save my games; it got really old having to start from the beginning every single time. I have not had this problem with A3, however. That one saves correctly. My computer stats: Mac G3; OS 9.2.2 I close all other applications before opening the games, so there shouldn't be a conflict there. Corrupt files, maybe? I really can't figure it out.
  5. Quote: There are also inaccessible rooms in quite a few places. Deal with it. Well. Consider me chastised. I'll try to remember not to ask stupid questions on this forum.
  6. Quote: There's a little bit of land on the Bigail maindland that sticks out slightly south of the rest of the land. That's where I'd been starting from each time, but apparently I tried every direction except SW. Thank you!
  7. Just off the coast of the Isle of Bigail, between Point Contemplation and the Southpoint Lighthouse, lies an island. I can see a group of gremlins wandering around, just waiting for a fight. But there's a problem... I can't get to it! It is exactly six mouse clicks away from shore, and the Orb of Thralni will only let you fly for five mouse clicks before dumping you in the water to drown. I've tried hasting the whole party, but apparently the Orb isn't affected that way. Six clicks away....how the heck do I get to this island? There must be a way; why would they put an inaccessible island in the game?
  8. Quote: I don't think Foxfire can be killed. Whoops...guess I got her name mixed up with a browser. Quote: She may have different towns to wander in once Bengaro has been demolished, but you can still find her somewhere near Lorelei. Aha!! The A3 walkthrough I'm using only mentioned those two towns, which is why I couldn't find her. But I've seen her now, and I'm on my way to the monestary. Thank you!
  9. I'm getting into this particular quest a lot later than I should have, I think. I've been all over Malloc and Bengaro, where this Firefox chick is supposed to hang out, but I can't find her. Bengaro has long been taken over by Troglos...could she have been one of the casualties? If so, is there another way for me to get the key to the Monestary of Madness? I've been on the island, but without the key... Any suggestions? Or am I just SOL...
  10. Quote: Don't kill the maid Whoa, thanks for the warning – and she was really starting to irritate me too...
  11. Quote: One thing to be warned about though...one of the encounters is a basilisk in the pantry...be prepared... That's interesting...I went and purchased the manor, and after going through the whole thing, I didn't come across any basilisk. Maybe I missed a spot.
  12. Quote: Theres no trigger, go to Lorali (Spelling!??!) and talk to people until you reach the jobs giver Awesome, thanks! I'm now a proud homeowner.
  13. Quote: It's an entire town in itself with encounters and rats and even a resident ghost. That sounds utterly cool. At what point in the game does this house become available? I've just gotten past the registration barrier, so I'm guessing I'll have to wait a while.
  14. Quote: Just so you know, the house is incredibly expensive Thanks for the tip! I think I've maxed out with coins – despite selling a bunch of stuff, my total remains 15,000. I'm hoping I still have as much when the opportunity to buy comes around.
  15. Quote: You can't set up a shop. Being a merchant means running merchandise, I believe. There is a house you can buy later in the game. Wow, okay. The A3 intro is rather misleading, then. Not that I'm terribly disappointed – the game is awesome just as is. Thanks for the info!
