Ah, Ok. I did everything 'right' then? It still seemed very easy to get to the controls just using Blink though, rather than fighting my way through. Also, is it possible to actually kill the big bad, so you don't get the "I'll be back! Bwah ha ha ha!" Message during the finale? I have the first Avadon game to get stuck into next, and Queen's Wish (and kickstarted Queen's Wish 2, so I have that to look forward to!)

Hi there. I've played my way through the whole Avernum trilogy, and thoroughly enjoyed them, but the end of Avernum 3 seemed rather anticlimactic, and the final boss very easy. I'm wondering if maybe I missed something? With the first two games, defeating the bosses required many, many attempts and quaffing multiple potions and casting multiple buffs before starting, and even then barely scraping through. The final boss for A3, it was very easy to cast Blink to get my wizard over to the control panel and activate it, and the whole fight only last two or three turns. Also, I spared the Crystal Souls when I came to fight them, but it wasn't clear what effect that had on the outcome of the game. Would the friendly Vahnatai (whose name escapes me) not have helped me if I had destroyed the Crystal Souls?
