Aloreal, I'm surprised you would pick Lorelei given the difficulties of getting skribbane into the city. I wouldn't be surprised if the guards in Lorelei set up a drug squad to deal with the skribbane smugglers within the city. I wouldn't mind living on the Isle of Bigail (after I'd cleared it of the Anama, who are too narrow minded for me to have them as neighbours). A quiet cottage somewhere near the GIFTS. Then I'd invite Crisper over for afternoon tea, and introduce him to my friendly neighbours. I'm sure they'd find him both neat and cute.

Same here. While we're on the topic of Today's Active Topics, can it please be changed so that it shows topics active in the last 24 hours. It ticks over to a new day & blank list at 4.30pm my time. If I drop by here in the evening (my time) to check out the day's active topics I only see a few threads on that page.

I've only recently started playing Nethergate (finished one game as the Celts, halfway through my first game as the Romans). As the Celts I didn't find the damage too excessive - I gave both my fighters the berzerk trait and lots of points in the skill. My reason for choosing the option was that with a pair of druids backing up as healers why worry about the damage taken while you're dealing more damage.

I'm on my first playthrough of it now. Just like I have with the other Spiderweb games I've played (GF, A2, A3, E2) I'm totally obsessed with it, and think this has to be the best game yet. I only registered the other day, and rather than wait for the CD to arrive (along with the Exile trilogy CD and BOE CD), I downloaded the full version. I just couldn't wait a day longer. I think something in the game resonates with my Celtic ancestry and love of fantasy which draws on Celtic myths. It also brings to mind the MUD I used to play, which had an newbie area named Tara (from which druids and fighters came) and a nearby sidhe area called ShadowLands (which was only safe to be tackled as part of a high-level group containing a good mix of fighters, mages, sniper, druids and surgeons).
