  1. Actually, my mother told me I should read less as a child. Less putting, and more attempting to remove.
  2. Tyranicus reported an issue with the retina display here, and another member reported they had your problem, Mark. There's another link to somebody with your exact problem here too. Running the game at a much lower resolution (1440x900 worked for catphive) might work. Otherwise, no, there doesn't seem to be a workaround. You could shoot JV an email though. You might not get a patch/fix for this game, but he might take it into consideration for the next one.
  3. 'I'm leaving forever!! See you next week!'
  4. Um, I'm sorry but what you're planning just isn't possible. I mean, you *might* be able to figure out a way to edit the game's code, but doing so isn't going to be easy and would almost certainly breach the EULA.
  5. Sure, but scwiba hasn't been active on these forums for nearly a year. This thread hasn't been active for the same length of time. Nobody was really wondering why Nethergate wasn't available anymore. This was topic necro that didn't help the OP (or anybody else) find a copy of the game. If you're really unclear on why the contents of your post did not justify resurrecting an old thread, feel free to PM me - lets allow scwiba's thread to rest in peace. Also, as an aside, Nethergate is NOT 'the first Spiderweb game to be banned by Jeff'. Jeff/SW have decided not to sell the game, but this is not the same as banning it.
  6. Hey, Ishad, please don't revive topics that are nearly a year old, and definitely don't do it if the post you're making doesn't really add anything to the discussion. Thank you.
  7. The thing is, if you're playing to the Romans' strengths the game isn't all that much harder in comparison. Pile on armour, grab javelins and slings, and pick your battles carefully until you gain some more strength (I mean that's the case with the Celts, too, but having a couple healers makes the Celts a little more forgiving). I'd suggest sticking to the demo area (east of the Ruined Hall Bridge), clearing out both starter dungeons, and mopping up the fixed encounters there before heading west. The extra strength you get there will help you survive when you do go exploring. Also, I'd probably only have one spellcaster, and have them focus on war and health circles - I only use two spellcasters with Celts, and they're supposed to be better at magic. Having another character attacking is a good thing - shielding and battle rage are okay, but damage dealing is better. Whenever I play, either with both Romans or Celts, I usually clear the starting area, and then deviate wildly from the path. I don't think I've ever crossed the bridge and headed to Vanarium straight away, which suggests that heading off the main road isn't as much a killer as is being shown in the LP. By the time you cross the sparkling bridge, a group of 6-8 Fomorians should be just about doable. (Oh, and the quartermaster at Shadow Valley Fort can totally identify items for you)
  8. Or, it could just be that another group of goblins moved in? I mean there have to be plenty of them around, and the pit IS in a great location.
  9. Hey, DeltanAmbassador. You make some valid points, and I'm not commenting on the content of your post in any way. That said, this is a review thread for people to give their opinions on the scenario (and for people to read and decide if a scenario is right for them), not someplace to comment on the lack of constructive feedback given to certain reviews. Aside from anything else, most of these reviews are more than a couple years old, and most people who made them are no longer around. If you do want to post something about being more constructive in reviews, feel free to post in a new thread in the Blades of Exile forum. The threads in this sub-forum should just be for reviews. Thanks.
  10. To be fair, whilst this might be true of the first 1/5 of the map (the demo area before the Ruined Hall), I'm pretty sure that once you're past that you should be able to explore anywhere, without facing too many problems.
  11. yeah, i've played done this before. it was not fun. i use a custom-built desktop that, despite being two years old (cry cry) still runs most current games on high settings. as such, i haven't really had many opportunities to use a trackpad except on my ex-GF's macbook. the mac trackpad is excellent. i think i'd still prefer a mouse/gamepad, but a trackpad like that one might be more useful for non-gaming things.
  12. Like Sy, I prefer to use either a mouse or a gamepad (360 controller).
  13. As far as I know, it doesn't. Sorry! If it's any consolation, it's still an amazing game, so don't fret it.
  14. Yeah I think I'm gonna find my CD and play Nethergate (and if I can't find it (the horror!!) I'll play N:R). Unlike Jera, though, I will delight in playing with the mouse for movement.
  15. I more or less have the same set up as Randomizer, though I substitute that first sword-and-board fighter for a slith with pole weapons, and I'll probably have an archery/roguey character in the second slot.
  16. Kelandon. Never change. You have reached perfection, and I lay my SW account at your feet. Do with it what you will.
  17. There's also the fact that we talked about this on CalRef recently.
  18. Haha. It is getting increasingly harder for me to get any further into that bottom-left corner. I'm sure I wasn't this bad last time: Economic Left/Right: -10.00 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -9.03 EDIT: Noooooo! I actually made it lower down last time: http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/17947-political-compass-round-infinity/#entry237574 :(
  19. Since I last updated, I've not read all that much. What I have read, though, seems mostly to have been American literature, which is making a nice change of pace. Highlights have been Wharton's Ethan Frome. Melville's 'Benito Cereno' and Moby Dick. Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs, and Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. I've also reread Hesiod, some of Lawrence's short stories, and some Hemingway.
