Hello everyone, Just started up A6 for the first time (like 5ish hours ago). Looks beautiful, loving the art and cave-systems so far. I have one little pet peeve though... The minimap in Avernums 1-5 (i think 1-5) all had a neat little yellowy fog for places you haven't been to yet. Avernum 6 doesn't seem to have that, it's just all grey. Basically if I tried to explore all I could in A5 i'd still have this yellowy fog along the edges, because I couldn't possibly go there to see it! But in A6 it's a bit more difficult seeing where I have and haven't visited sometimes. Is there a way of setting it so it has that "yellowy fog" at all? Avernum 5 on the left, Avernum 6 on the right. Thanks!

Oh, it's worded strangely when I get the skill. Says something like "when you attack something much weaker than you this skill gives you a chance of killing it outright". Thought it was like a 1-shot skill, though I guess by the time you get it, it is >.>

I do notice that ranged attackers have a HUGE chance of hitting me (usually around 50% higher!). I will have to take mental note of that during this play through. Also, found the memory address for Lethal Blow, 00B27BDA if anyone is curious (browse memory region really helped with this). Not sure if it'll be the same for every client. Also, it's not as good as I had hoped, as it does absolutely nothing against any bosses in the game.

Ahh good to hear that I won't miss out on anything fancy really. Was worried I might miss out on a nifty weapon or armor For the Vahnatai Blademaster I didn't have a chance to notice, I kept summoning stuff and buffing as far as casting spells, and I polearm'd him to death for the damage portion. I'm shocked that one would still die even from maxing Dexterity Luck Defense and Parry (assuming that's what he maxed). For my current playthrough I'm trying to get to Lethal Blow, though this is proving to be absurdly difficult as I don't want to sacrifice any required survivability. Alas, I miscalculated and now I'm stuck. I might cheat engine the skill points in without working my way up to the skill, I just have to find out where its offset is. But it will be fun regardless! PS. I also tried a 40 dex bow user, and was actually shocked at how little damage it did (was using the 5-10 damage bow). Did Jeff nerf bows or something or did I just need a better bow to see the real glory of a bow user.

I'll probably put some points into Priest spells rather than going 100% warrior, mostly to heal myself up the few times I can and have the few non-physical spells Priestery offers (Priestery?...). I've read a little bit about this Anama thing, and it does look interesting, especially the reading some Priest books without needing AL. I'm curious about what loot I might miss without having Dispel Barrier though. Ah yes, I do remember the "avoid death" thing when I played 1-3 back in the day. Imagine what max luck would do in one of those 3 games XD I'm not sure how much chance/damage Lethal Blow adds, but 40 points in it sounds like it'd be devastating. But yes, it would be difficult to get to, though with the maxing one stat, should I max Lethal Blow I'll probably get ruined fairly quickly. Wait wait wait, you can Parry single target spells? I know Luck gives you some evasion chance. 40 Luck makes the first chunk of the game only have a 1% chance to hit you, but spells still obliterate you (even with the huge resist you get from luck). The resist and armor neg would explain a bit why I'm getting hit for so much. Is it possible to "immune" something in this game? (I guess in Torment it'd be... ~140% resist or so?)

Hello to all! I have an interesting idea to play through the Avernum series with. I myself did this in A4, and was pretty fun. Still quite difficult, and at times I got completely annihilated unless I planned out. At first I tried this out until I died (at which point i'd restart), but I play quite recklessly and die far too often for that. Basically I've found it quite fun to do this: One hero. Torment. Max out one stat to 40 (your choice). If you wanna max out a Special Skill, make sure you have the prerequisites required for it first. Lemme know what you pick and why! Also when you first die! In Avernum 4 I went Slith Warrior, maxing out Luck. First died at the necro (got mind control locked >.<) Was pretty interesting, I liked the idea of maybe living. Never being quite sure if I was gonna die or not (I didn't put any points into endurance until... Tower Colony or so?). Starting to go through Avernum 5 now, probably still gonna go Slith Warrior, maxing Luck. That or maxing Lethal Blow, I'm kinda wavering between the two.

So, playing through A4 and I kinda sorta killed this Julio fellow, along with the rest of the town... At any rate, I have a quest saying "Message: Almaria". I at least wanna hand this quest in somehow, so I've been reading up a bit on how I can fix this. From what I can understand, one can edit the scripts to make one object take the place of another so to speak. So I can make a sign have Julio's dialog and whatnot. Problem is, when I do this I don't hand in the quest. Can someone poke me in the right direction here please and thank you?
