Yeah, there are no games where you can set up a shop or run your own guild or most of that other stuff. And Avernum 4 is surely the spidweb game that's least like that, out of all of them.

 

As Dikiyoba and Randomizer, Avernum 3 may be your best bet - the world changes over time, usually in the form of getting worse, but hey. There's also a pretty day/night effect, which I like.

 

I also like Geneforge 2, which has lots of factions to choose between, and a greater variety of endings than any of the other games.

It's the shade of venom in Almaria.

 

I didn't miss Divine Warrior too much in Avernum 3, because Heroic Brew has the same effect and you can gather herbs and make them.

 

I do miss it in Avernum 4, although not as much as mass haste.

No, sorry.

A god editor for Geneforge 4, by Emperor Tullegolar, is available here:

The point is not whether resistance works, but what methods are morally justifiable. Option 4 seems to me to be clearly immoral. Option 1 involves hypocritically pretending to agree with the occupying regime, so that's out as well. Option 3 is just as unlikely to succeed as 2 but involves violence. Therefore Option 2 is the preferred moral choice.

You have an unusual definition of insane. Trajkov behaves in a sane manner (according to the game canon) yet underneath he is a fruitcake (according to you). Most people consider insanity to be when people are not in control, so aren't responsible for their behaviour. Trajkov is well in control, even after using the Geneforge.

The text is from the special items screen in-game: I obtained the Marsh Worm Fang special item when I killed something in the eastern gallery, but so far I've not found anyone who wants it!

Marsh worm fang (Special Item)

This tooth was once inside the mouth of a marsh worm

 

I searched Schrodinger's FAQ and the A4 scripts folder, but I'm none the wiser. Anyone know what it's for?

Good heavens, I'm the only one to vote for passive resistance. In real life, I think quite a number of people would choose this option.

With the advantage that Retribution doesn't hurt allies, giving it a slight edge. I remember once casting Shockwave in Rentar's Keep in E3, forgetting that Erika was also in the room. Oops, now I have two insanely powerful magi trying to kill me...

 

Edit: The A4 Retribution also has an edge over the GF version Aura of Flames, because the latter uses a lot of energy and can't be cast repeatedly. With energy potions, you can go on casting Retribution for as long as the potions last.

Bump.

 

OK, the Geneforge 4 Editor is now available to download here .

 

Please can someone check this fairly soon, to see if the download works. It would be good to know straight away, while I still have time to put it right before the holidays...

 

Edit: new link

eztaren, it doesn't make any difference whether you've started playing the game or not, just leave town and then return again, and editing should be possible [assuming we can get a working version of the script].

 

Tullegolar, it may be something to do with linebreaks. The original txt file is probably not equivalent to one copied and pasted from the web.

 

If you e-mail me the script, as an attachment, I can host it. Send me an e-mail following the instructions at the bottom of this page .

 

Just bear in mind that it is night time, here in the UK, and I'm about to go to bed; so it may be a few hours before I upload it.

I knew what I was writing.
Anyone ever read Private Eye?

Actually, a very big rock would give you world domination (kinetic impact). Not sure whether you'd want what was left, though.

 

Edit: silly ubb tags...

I have a cold, and whenever I breathe I sound like a glaahk dying.

 

I have always liked that sound effect. The drayk death sound is quite satisfying as well (assuming it's an enemy drayk that's dying, rather than one of my own).

I was talking to Tuldaric recently (as you do) and the thought went through my mind, "he reminds me of Emperor Tullegolar".

 

There's something not right, there. I need to get out more...

 

Yes it doesn't make much difference, especially since there is a level cap in this particular trilogy.

 

Personally I think if you are going to summon something, then it may as well be something good like a pack leader; it's worth spending a bit of time capturing it and there's no shortage of opportunities in Footracer province.

Thanks.

 

The cryodrayk had a little more health, but a lot less spell energy.

Quick question: which is it better to have, a level 35 cryoa or a level 35 cryodrayk?

 

Edit: GF2, if that matters.

I think if your hit chance is 90% and you can still miss 5 times in a row, then there is something wrong. Either Geneforge sometimes gets "stuck" when generating a random number, or there is some part of the engine that does not properly feed through to the percentages shown.

 

Is it possible that the to-hit % is misleading for a similar reason to the armor %?

What's unusable about soul lance, then?

 

Edit: I have just used it to hurt some Romans in the Spire of Ages.

I would imagine that intelligence is capped at 30 + items, like in the other games.

Personally I like flaming, in Tevrono.
