  1. Well done Chessrook44! I hope I'll see you play some more crpgs in the future.
  2. It's a bit too late, but for the record, if you successfully charm Morbo's summons, they will attack him and as you know, anyone who attacks him with a melee attack will get charmed... however, a bug causes this to EXTEND your own charm, i.e. his charmed melee summons will remain allied to you untill Morbo kills them (unless they fail their attacks against it repeatedly, but that's highly unlikely to happen in this timeframe).
  3. You are a: Right-Leaning Isolationist Cosmopolitan Liberal Collectivism score: -17% Authoritarianism score: 0% Internationalism score: -67% Tribalism score: -17% Liberalism score: 33% Hmm... being both Isolationist and Cosmopolitan at the same time is weird (a bit contradictory), though I understand why the test would give me those labels.
  4. You raise some good points, maybe I was mistaken.
  5. We all know about Redbeard being inspired by Bluebeard in that opera, but it should also be acknowledged that Ragnar Redbeard, author of "Might is Right", is a partial inspiration aswell.
  6. It is possible to see the contents of the "Spoiler". 1. Press the "Quote" button in the post. 2. The text and the "Spoiler" will be added to the "Reply" window at the bottom of the thread. 3. In the upper left corner of the "Reply" window there is a button labeled "Toggle editing mode", click this button once. 4. The "Spoiler" will be revealed! Note that I use Windows 8 and Firefox.
  7. Just wanted to say that I've started watching your Let's Play. I got Avadon 3 as a Christmas gift for myself. I feel I've gotten far enough in the game now, so that I can watch without getting spoiled...
  8. Thanks for an entertaining Let's Play! As I don't want to be spoiled, I won't look at your Avadon 3 Let's Play untill I've finished it myself.
  9. I see serviles as being equal to humans, biologically speaking. The few differences aren't significant, as serviles are able overcome their shortcomings. Their inferiority is due to Shaper oppression. Last time I played GF5 I was a servile only using disposable creations, so the only way to check my facts is if I replay the game, which I don't feel like doing right now.
  10. Don't worry, I trust you. It's been a while since I last played GF5. I don't have it installed on this computer though, so I can't check my old saves right now.
  11. IIRC in GF5 (and I think in GF4 aswell, don't know about GF1-3) creation stats are capped at 30.
  12. Yes, it's true that Shaping is the strongest and Melee is the weakest. With that said, in GF4&5 you are able to make characters who are "Swiss Army Knives", no weak spots to speak of.
  13. In GF4&5, whatever you're weak/moderate/strong at doesn't matter as much since you'll make up for your weak spots with equipment.
  14. Gameplay-wise, the servile class is more powerful than all the other classes. That said, your question is like asking "who do you think is more powerful, the free person or the enslaved person?" That said, playing a servile in GF4&5 is only marginally different from playing a human class.
  15. Don't get me started, the list is going to be so long... ooops, too late. Note that some of these aren't ”low budget” and some aren't ”good”. Some were already mentioned by others, hope it doesn't bother you... I could write more movies, but I feel the list is long enough for now...
  16. It seems you'll finish Avadon 2 before nr 3 is out. Have you considered playing Avernum Escape from the Pit?
  17. Maybe he'll come around after you get the quest to break the siege?
  18. Several placenames in Astoria's province (Mera-Tev, Kratoa-Kel, etc) are from the language of the natives there. There are some characters with noticeable descent from the natives (IIRC the captain of the guard in Astoria's fortress). I believe there one tiny mention of the natives in the Storm Plains aswell and also Bennhold the Bandit is descended from the native population of the desert in Taygen's province. Not much is revealed.
  19. No matter what you choose in Khalida's quest, you will definitely feel terrible afterwards. A well designed quest with quite an emotional impact, kudos to Jeff!
  20. About the Tower of Trials in Avadon: I also played a blademaster and had tremendous difficulty with this. I could only finish it after I had found a wand or something, that summoned help.
  21. Avadon 2 is harder than Avadon 1, at least that's what I remember. I wish you good luck! Hehe, I quite enjoyed the discrete cough when Yannick was talking about ancient secrets...
  22. The politics is what makes me enjoy the story more than e.g. the stories of the Avernum games. I guess I'm the opposite of you in this regard. The politics make the game feel more realistic than most other fantasy cRPGs I've played and that, in itself, feels like a breath of fresh air to me.
  23. I save all runestones untill I'm nearly at the end of the game, then I choose the best runestones and use it on my favourite equipment. The rest I sell. EDIT: Ok, I saw the episode and realized I should give more specific advice. *For Jason, Sevilin and Shima: - Give them runestones that enhance Strength and Dexterity. - Put extra physical damage on their weapons (or maybe higher critical chance). *For Nathalie: - Give runestones enhance Intelligence. - Give her extra resistance from physical attacks (or enhance Endurance for more HP). *For Jenell: - Give her extra Intelligence. Bear in mind that I'm not a minmaxer so I don't know what's objectively the best runestones.
  24. Slithzerikai seems to be a combination of the sleeth, intelligent reptilian humanoids in Gamma World, and the githzerai, gaunt humanoids from Limbo in Dungeons & Dragons.
