You mean something like this? Post #670 (as if you couldn't guess)

Just finished Week 4 Day Three! Are my arms supposed to feel like they're falling off? The max was 40 but I went ahead and did 45. Post #669

I voted for Exile:Escape From the Pit, Exile II:Crystal Souls and Avernum 6. I voted for the first two Exile's because they are the bread and butter of the company. I voted for A6 because it marks the end of the storyline created nearly 2 decades ago. I still like the original Exile...and it seems I'm the only one because so far I'm the only one who's voted for it! Post #668

I did only 33 push-ups. When I was in Naval bootcamp I was one of only 4 people in my division of 73 to do more than 100 push-ups in 2 min by doing 106 and I was beaten by two others. I haven't pushed myself to do that since. I've been out of the Navy for over 6 years and have barely done any push-ups since I got out. Post #667

They are great games to play even with an outdated engine. I liked them then and still play them from time to time. Post #66...oh crap!

I joined the forums when I was 20, I turned 21 a month later. I'm 31 now. Post # 665

The Skyrim Strategy Guide. Post #661

I killed Drath. It took me about 20 min but the Robe of the Magi was worth it! Post #660

When I was refering to why the north-eastern and south-eastern areas were blocked I was talking in reference to how it was in Exile and Avernum. I've already bought the game (money came sooner than I was expecting) and a hint book to go with it. I've noticed some major renovations to the storyline so to speak. Most notably Thantria and Freehold. Other changes are as follows: 1. Areas under the cities and some forts. 2. Formello Mayor's necklace is no longer unique. 3. Various other minor quests. 4. Micah said that he was King for 30 years but a book in Patrick's Tower says that he's been King for 40! I'm sure that there's more, but I've only just entered the Great Cave last night and haven't yet played today. This doesn't strike me as a remake per say. It has been retooled to the point of becoming a separate game completly. Obviously that's not the case because the NPC's and plot remains there. One thing's for sure is that Encyclopedia Ermariana is gonna be flooded with rewrites and additions! Post #659

Seven hours!?! That's how long it took me to beat the demo! Why was the northern and southern areas blocked off? We should've at least been allowed to enter the northern area. Other than that I love this game! Post #658

I can't wait to play this game. I will get to y'all when I play for a little while...like in 2 weeks! Post #657

Sorry about the slow response. I'll only be online maybe once or twice a week since I don't have internet at my house. Now to respond to a few posts. Originally Posted By: BMA Hi, you must be a pure avernite. Haven't seen you over at the Geneforge forums.

As for posting in the Geneforge forum...I'll leave that to the professionals. Originally Posted By: Death Knight Ive never met you, but thats cool. Come to see if were all still insane?

Is there really such a thing as "Normal"? Originally Posted By: Trenton the Drake Lord Welcome Arch-mage solberg. I was lucky enough to know you my whole time, since you were here before me. I didn't really notice you were gone, though. Noone ever misses me when I leave. Originally Posted By: Actaeon The Arch-Mage was here before most of us. So true! Why I remember back when I was a wee little lad when.....wait...what were we talking about again? Originally Posted By: Trenton the Drake Lord Solberg, why have you not responded? We have been saying these nice, warm things, and where are you? Long absences are not unheard of for me. Thanks everyone who acknowledged my absences and said those "nice, warm things". Where was I? At home mostly, remodeling and playing Skyrim! Post #655

I know that A4 gets a lot of flak from a lot of people but I actually liked it. Sure it did have flaws but it was worth it. Brand new storyline with improved interface. The biggest flaw of all that I really hated was obviously the distance between towns. You went from towns being many miles away to being right next to each other. Post #654

Country and classic rock. Sorry not too specific about singers or groups, just like to listen to the radio every now and then. Post #651

When y'all put it that way, I guess I won't mention the other games and just buy A:EFtP at full price when it comes out for Windows. Post #649

Take a hint man! I don't want to leave right now. Give me a day or two to relax and then we'll head out. Post #648 *Words of Solberg are not to be taken literally in terms of the game.

Compliment-"Your not as dumb as I thought you were." Several times by people when they hear my southern drawl and believe that I'm just some hick only to realize I know more than they do. Insult- "Buck-toothed beaver." I have bucked teeth...enough said. So what if my teeth aren't perfect, this is the way God made me and if you have a problem with that then that is your problem not mine. Post #647
