Bug (?): 100% CPU load while playing Queen's Wish
Chopkinsca replied to Fingolfin's topic in Queen's Wish: The Conqueror
I run the newer games cooler by making a custom power plan and lowering max CPU%. I haven't had any issues doing this but it is a bit annoying. -
I'll be trying out the demo for sure. I'm in the middle of replaying OG Avernum 3 and have a vacation coming up, so buying the game will have to wait. Still excited for this release though.
-
Awesome. This will save me some time. Thanks.
-
Actually that would be quite useful. Share away
-
Thanks guys. Looks like when it's time to play BoA I will have to do some planning. I kind of can't wait.
-
Last year I played the first BoA scenario an it was quite fun, but I wanted to get into trying out the Geneforge series so I never went back to BoA. Now I'm in the process of replaying Avernum 3 then Nethergate:R again. Once I'm done with that I will dive into BoA. One thing I wonder about is the process of playing all the scenarios. How does it work in terms of balance? How do I know if I'll find an amazing weapon in one scenario that trivializes the next scenario I play?

A2 - Did I gimp myself?
Chopkinsca replied to Chopkinsca's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
Thanks for the reply. I'll keep pushing on. I've been making some progress with the spiral pit. After that I will wander the lands looking for easy-ish foes. I still have options, so I will hold off on starting over. -
Replaying this game, but on torment difficulty this time around. The challenge is doable until I make it back to Avernum after that river journey. After that, anywhere I went, I would get destroyed. I'm building my front guy as a kind of tank slash front row battle guy. I wasn't paying attention to levels up until now. I check levels and my front guy's level is half that of everyone else. I check my experience penalties and it makes sense. Everyone is around 35% penalty while front row dude is at 70%. I use the character editor to remove a trait, but I'm worried he will be under leveled for the whole game. I didn't see an option to change levels or experience. I don't want to "cheat", but I also don't want to start over again.

How to Manually Edit Saves + NPC Skill Trainer Question (GF2)
Chopkinsca replied to DrunkAnton's topic in Geneforge Series
Well, anything I said was pure speculation and guessing from what I saw when opening a save file in Wordpad. -
How to Manually Edit Saves + NPC Skill Trainer Question (GF2)
Chopkinsca replied to DrunkAnton's topic in Geneforge Series
I'm sure the saves are in Jeff's own format, so there isn't really a way to open a save file and change things easily. I imagine you could brute force the save format but I feel it would be quicker to just start a new game. -
The point of Haste?
Chopkinsca replied to Muscleguy's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 remake versions)
I'm not a fan of nu-haste. Haste in the original Avernums was one of my favourite spells. -
Eh, I just want to use the setting of Avernum and make it in a Doom map. World design/creation is what I'm into.

Now and then I've thought about trying to make Avernum as a Doom map.

Avadon 1: Should I equip people I don't plan on using?
Chopkinsca replied to Chopkinsca's topic in Avadon Series
Ah thanks. I was wondering if it would be needed to grind to get the level 30 medal after finishing the game. Good to know I have a lot of game left. -
No idea, works fine for me with DirectDrawEmulation. Though with the flickering, for me, I found it was because of the taskbar transparency.

Avadon 1: Should I equip people I don't plan on using?
Chopkinsca replied to Chopkinsca's topic in Avadon Series
Oh, I pick up every item that has a value. I wonder how far I am into the game. I think my characters are around level 17/18. I also lowered the difficulty to normal and I'm having a better time with the game. It makes big fights less stressful and that lets me relax a bit more. -
Avadon 1: Should I equip people I don't plan on using?
Chopkinsca replied to Chopkinsca's topic in Avadon Series
I've been taking Janell along with me every time. I'm using her as a healer and kind of a beastmaster. I'm a Blademaster and I've also been taking Nathalie with me. I haven't had too many troubles so far, but I'm only playing on hard. There's something about he game I can't put my finger on, but this game feels different from Avernum and Geneforge past the different mechanics and a new-ish engine. -
Avadon 1: Should I equip people I don't plan on using?
Chopkinsca replied to Chopkinsca's topic in Avadon Series
Ah, thanks. I'll hand some equipment down to the characters I won't really use. It took some time to warm up to the game. It's a new engine for me, and the skill system is a complete change. Having fun though. -
Just as the title says. Will I ever be forced to take certain party members with me? Just wondering if I should be equipping them with items or to just continue ignoring them.
-
Oh, that makes sense that it's the giving up ending. It was so depressing, though I have nothing against a depressing ending (I've done that before). I was aligned with the Awakened when I walked away. Unrelated, it might take me some time to get used to Avadon.
-
The awakened ending was indeed much better. Now I'm done with the game. I'll save some of the other endings for a second playthrough some time in my life. Now I think I'll move on to the first Avadon.
-
I didn't know I could walk away like that. I just did that and checked out that ending. Kind of a depressing one, so I'll see what the awakened ending is like.
-
I think I must be really close to the end now. I allied with the Awakened, so I just have to do that quest line to finish up?
-
I'm not sure who I'd join, now. I'm kind of pro-creation, especially since it's who I spent G1 dealing with. I was going to join the takers, but the first quest to kill someone, I just couldn't do it. I'm not sure if I'll do Gazak-Uss. I might end up just wanting to get the game over with, but maybe not. I'll give it a shot.
