  1. Found it! I didn't see it before because it's almost exactly the same color as the pool of blood it's lying in...
  2. Oh, neat! I hope it wasn't Pool, the brave but very stupid Pentilian scout who died after several reload attempts to save his life, because he kept trying to punch cryoras as I lured them to the guards.
  3. Also, during my travels yesterday, while clearing out some Vlish in an area, I encountered an obscenely powerful fyrora-like creature (I think it was called something else). It was level 9, had a dialogue popup to announce its existence, and began combat hasted. I somehow managed to beat it anyways with some judicious use of mental magic and save scumming... and then nothing happened. I went back to its lair to see what loot it was guarding and found basically nothing. The amount of exp I got from defeating this seemingly unstoppable killing machine wasn't impressive either. Did I miss something? Is this some sort of penalty encounter I was supposed to avoid?
  4. Yeah, it doesn't say "Evade", but they do "Miss" more often, it feels like. And I was the same level between tries, this was me reloading a bit earlier to dump points into Evasion instead of continuing to buff up Mechanics because I was struggling to take out the spawners in East Pentil. The cryoras' spread attacks seemed to hit me way less. Alternatively, it could be that it was a fairly inaccurate attack to begin with, and either the AI is using it more since the single-target attacks aren't as good (because evasion) or I'm just seeing more of them since I'm surviving longer. Also, how does the math on Evasion and such work? Theoretically, if I buff it up high enough (probably not possible without cheats), would I have a 100% evade chance, or do the enemies have their own stat that counters it?
  5. Another noob question - Are all the tooltips accurate? Evasion says it only applies to single-target attacks, but ever since I dumped a bunch of points into Evasion, it's felt like the area-target attacks are missing more often too.
  6. I suspect that the Shapers did not leave voluntarily, given the talk of invasions and conspiracies, but I haven't gotten anywhere near far enough to confirm yet.
  7. Ah, okej, that's good to know. Also, if I turn in Naab, does that impact my relationship with the Takers? He DID say that his offer still stands regardless of what happens to him... (eyes quest exp greedily)
  8. Yeah, I saw that post, but I didn't want to get spoilers - I just wanted kind of a "list of quests to make sure I didn't miss anything before leaving," and I know that if I open that, I'll get "here is exactly where the disc one nuke is and what dialogue options you should pick to minmax."
  9. Oh, darn, I was looking forward to the continuity of playing one character across several games. Oh wells. Hrrm, is there a list of the quests somewhere, to make sure I don't miss any? So far I've found "kill the bandits", "help the alchemist open his box", "find the stolen steel knife", and "find the Taker spy" - I know who the spy is, but haven't turned them in in case I end up siding with the Takers. I meant for doing the same path of the quest, not doing it multiple ways - I wouldn't be able to take on the bandits in a fight (I tried it and the toll person one-shot me). Like, if I fail the dialogue option to resolve it peacefully, can I level up and try the dialogue option again, or am I locked into doing the quest the violent way (assuming I don't reload)?
  10. I never played the other Geneforge games, but I was under the impression that since it was a series, I'd be importing the character from each previous game and my decisions in the earlier games would affect the later ones. Is that not the case? What you describe is basically what I was doing to clear out areas, but I'm only getting around 10-14 exp per kill, and leveling up takes well over a thousand exp, and I struggle in any fight against more than one creature. Grinding doesn't seem like a viable way of leveling, unless I'm just doing something wrong? Also, if I talk to an NPC without the needed leadership level to do something, and then come back later after I level up my leadership, do I get the option to do whatever it was that required the leadership, or is the option gone? (ie, if I try to negotiate with the bandits, go back to the Blade person, fail the leadership check, then later level up and come back, can I try to persuade her again)
  11. Yeh, that was basically what I did on my first character, but she still only got to around level 3, if I remember correctly. I did eventually make it to the other settlement (I forget the name), with Ellrah, but I felt really silly after doing so after I found chainmail armor just lying around (after I had spent a big sum of money buying it from Vakkiri >_<). I might go back to that character, but reload from the point before I bought the armor. Are there any other significant items I should know about just lying around?
  12. I had tried Geneforge a long time ago and only got a few hours in. I forget why I stopped, I vaguely remembered liking the game, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear about the remake one day. So I'm giving it a try, and because I'm a very silly person, I have decided to play as an Agent on Torment difficulty, because playing as a magic knight that doesn't have to babysit summoned critters appeals to me, and I want to at least attempt the hardest difficulty before I give up and go easier. I'm also trying to use as few of the gene canisters as possible, because I vaguely remember that there's something bad about using too many of them (I haven't found very many to begin with, though). So far, there has been lots of dying - I don't mind that so much, but it feels like I've hit a brick wall in terms of the areas I can explore. So I've been trying to figure out if there's a better way to build my character early on - in my first run, I tried focusing on leadership and mechanics, but I felt super weak against the rogue creations and had trouble doing anything. I tried a second character in which I dumped all my points into melee attack (I'd rather do magic, but it's too weak early on), and she's a bit more survivable, but I'm not sure what quests I can do without leadership, and I'm still not very good at killing things yet. Is there something else I should be spending my limited exp points on instead?
