Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Of a slightly different category, I enjoyed the reference to the hot springs quest from A:EFTP. The note that construction had started was nice. I realize that there are a lot of NPCs that carry over between the various games, but to see the results of what was really a throw away quest carry over was nice.

Garrulous Glaahk Meri20098 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't know if anyone else noticed but in A:EFTP you could steal if people were watching. They might get mad or attack you. However in A2CS, you can't steal while people are watching or even if they're in the same room or outside like a guard or something.

Chittering Clawbug BlackDragon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Selling bars of Uranium (and the gauntlets made from same) to merchants I don't like. "Oh, you want me to search the ruins of one of the greatest tragedies of the war for shiny stuff and sell it to you? Suuuure! Here, I found these AWESOME gauntlets, you should try them. Hm? What, you have to forge weapons and gear for the Empire? Tell you what, I'll sell you this wonderous metal - make something really cool from it, will ya? Maybe give it to an imperial commander or mage or something - they'll love it!" I MAY also accidentally have sold a bar of the stuff to the dude at the Tower of Magi who collects junk... but hey, he's a wizard who deliberately wants to buy weird stuff, so I figure he knows how to handle it. Also, in a slightly different vein - in both EftP and this one - deliberately NOT robbing any of the dragons, even though I know I can totally take them, just because I think dragons are cool and it's terrible that the empire has hunted them nearly into extinction. Don't worry, dear old Motrax - I could walk through the defenses of your Hoard like they were made out of paper, but I'm not GOING to, because it just wouldn't be nice. (I'll happily steal from PEOPLE, though. They're mostly assholes, anyway.) Zaego 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd GolfHacker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I love how the NPCs all refer to my PCs from the first game as "the great heroes". They don't know what happened to them, they just disappeared one day. But they wish they knew what happened to them, because Avernum could sure use their help now. Haha! Hey, we're right here! Same foursome, same portraits, and even the same names! And then at the end, when King Micah tells us that we're just as good as the great heroes... IT'S US, DUDE! WE ARE THE GREAT HEROES! haha!

Tenderfoot Thahd Gharbad the handsome Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Do any of the games hint at what happened to the great heros? Assassinated by the empire?

Garrulous Glaahk Nobear Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Speaking of Pyrrhic Gauntlets, agreed but I sold them because of the radioactive effect already, it was more because of the annoyance than the actual damage. However, can anyone tell me whether Walner, who's interested in such items, can uncurse the gloves or has anything special to say if you bring them to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug BlackDragon Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I tried that, with both the gloves and the bars, but he had no reactions. Well, when you talk to him about it, he pretty much says that you're better off just throwing stuff like that out, since nobody has any use for it. Can't really see how it would be possible to 'uncurse' them, anyway. To the people of Avernum, they seem cursed, sure - but us enlightened future-people know that they're just radioactive, and there's precious little to be done about THAT, except wait a few thousand years for them to go inert.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You show the real demonslayer to him to mock him. You even get a 1-point reputation boost for showing Demonslayer to Efram in A2:CS, by the way. Not that it's useful for very much, since you need at least enough reputation for Royal Clearance to get Demonslayer in the first place.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Since Wisdom Crystals, unlike most other sources of experience, don't get worse as you level up, it may make sense to save them until as late in the game as you can. The other argument would be if you feel the game is more challenging early on, but you don't find most such crystals till after Dark Waters, anyway.

Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I hoard consumables way too much, but with the Wisdom crystals my justification is that if I find myself near the endgame and realize that I need a skill point somewhere I have a stock of them. Or if I am in one of the final fights and want to restore a characters spell points by leveling them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
