  1. would be cool to see a spidweb game with a skill system similar to diablo. you know like the slith shaman can create a thunder storm that can struck an enemy with lightning and the human archer can fire homing arrows and stuff like that.
  2. i usually take the ferry from port townsend to farport (i think it is) and then go to the portal guy and teleport into lorelei. no guards in the portal world so far.
  3. the custom, because he/she doesnt waste valuable skill points a decent player could invest in a specialized monster-character, whatever type he/she might want. the mage/priest combo with just enough melee skill to help himself through times of low mana or fighting vs eye beasts takes the cake, i think. as a single, independent char of course.
  4. imo detailed answeres are much nicer than just uncommented lists. so if anybody thinks different, dont worry. im on your side. come to think of it, solbergs tower in a2 is kinda nice. id love to live in hss-kss old fortress though. havent seen it in a1 so far, but in a2 its great. (that empire general something has his base there. its in the middle of the southern part of the great lake between fort dranlon and fort emerald. two stories, hidden on a small island. some mushroom fields. an extrernal barrack. great tactical outpost for attacking the castle. sea-view from every window.)
  5. its not necessary to kill vahkohs or whatever to complete a3, so i guess jeff didnt create the plot assuming that the player had already killed vahkohs in a3. for example, you can kill motrax in a1, but he will still be sitting in his lair in a2. and so on. edit: sry, didnt notice this thread was revived. is it bad to post in a topic that has already been revived by someone else?
  6. to get the money for that, you will have to cheat as heavily as it would be to just edit the items into your inventory. drat! just when i thought it was all going fine, i felt the urge to cheat again. playing legit is just so... slow? boring? monotone? whatever. if anybody in here can tell me how to stuff a1 with the a3 fighting system and a quest log, please tell me. its the only game left that i havent played through yet and its the only one that annoys me too much to do it.
  7. these threads are my fav. thx for making one. i would myself, but ive done it a couple of times already. a1: dunno. never played much. fighting system and lack of quest log annoys me terribly. a2: phew. uhm. almaria, i think. i need water around me. a3: lorelei. in summer southpoint lighthouse. colchis isnt bad too.
  8. maybe it didnt wanna fight another drake. like "yo thats my bro" or something. you know.
  9. unnoticed abandonment seems plausible. *puke* omg whats wrong with me.
  10. a couple of minutes ago i started playing a3 again after a pause of about 3 months. ive ordered the full version of a1-3 and it has always worked fine. just before i started this topic however, the game started thinking i havent registered. i cant accept certain courier jobs, edit reputation with the editor.... i used the same program ive used ever since i bought the game. ive tried with the cd and without. why wont it let me play? does everybody hate me? edit: problem solved. apparently someone has been tempering with my access rights to the computer. hm.
  11. well i dont quite get the first sentence of your usual auto-description. however, thx. (@all) i dont use the editor anymore, because ive used it too much before. the game isnt that fun that way. using "slipping holes" like the trading trick (just gave it that name. cool huh?) doesnt feel like cheating that much. besides, im just too lazy to scrap together the gold i need.
  12. but when you sell something, you get like half of the many you need to buy it back, right? that way, you just lose endless money.
  13. quite a while ago, there was a topic here about ways of making money. one of them was a kind of trick involving unicorn horns and trading with levy. it should give you as much money as you want. i dont remember what exactly it was like, however. can somebody help me? (other stuff like that are welcome, too)
  14. which crystal soul? which crypt? there are countless crypts and crystals in a2. if i remember correctly, in the first sleeping hall you get into you just have to work a control panel. i think there is a black drake tooth somewhere along the river leading to the vahnatai lands. please note that these are only dark memories of the last time i played a2 a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.... edit: how old does a thread have to be so you cant post into it without being a dead topic raiser? only noticed how old this one is a sec ago. sry.
  15. unlike in a1 and 2, you can kill her just like that in a3. (good luck trying, however) ok, since dado wants to know: SPOILER at the end of the game, you have to go through a kind of underground passage from the tower of forgotthename in NW valorim all the way down to a secret vahnatai outpost. there, the amulet begins to show some use and blows away most of the defense (walls..). later, you will have to destroy rentar-ihrnos tower so she cant produce monsters and send them to the surface anymore. therefore, you will have to get to her control panel. with the amu, erika teleports in at that point and fights rentar, so you can handle the panel without being attacked (and killed, mostly). i wouldnt use the amulet however, since erika loses due to a cowardly trick and dies. ill never forget you, erika.
  16. why would you want to find greymold? ok im not really friend with potions but i cant think of one atm thats worth brewing. (what are druids for anyway?)
  17. ive tried out many different party-types, and the one i atm find best is: start out with custom-made fighter, druid, mage and get the npc from cotra as fast as possible. that way you have a highly-specialized, powerful and well-balanced party thats good for any situation. one more thing: if you put an npc in the first slot when you get him/her, he/she will get elite soldier trait. in slot 4, he/she will get natural mage. (this will only work if the npc gets that slot when you get him. putting him/her in there afterwards doesnt do a crap.)
  18. its a special item. it wont actually help you until the very last minutes of the game. then, however, its very handy. want me to tell you what it does?
  19. K, A and F are too sympathic to be killed. C is fun, but nothing more. B, D, G, H, I and J are boring. i think some kind of intrigue (political or not) involving your supervisor would greatly help your scenario. if you make it right, it may well become one of the best ever. (ive experienced that next to all custom-made plots are crap) i wanted to do a similar thing, but i dont have the full boa version. come to think of it, why didnt you post this in the boa forum?
  20. you can find skribbane in many places, even in the demo. just look around. if you get some, sell it to levy. (infinite drugs!!)
  21. either you dont have enough mana (costs like 20 or something) or you are too encumbered. that means you wear too heavy armor or whatever. the natural mage trait helps vs this, or you can just wear lighter stuff (your inventory doesnt count).
  22. possible that it wont work because you didnt "take note of this". if so, i suggest you re-install the thing and use your old savegame. still wont work: spidweb-email.
  23. for real battle i only use dark wyrm. the rest i use for fun only, like alien slime or something. im wondering if you can capture dogs and the like..?
  24. i also recommend that you complete all the quests you can. rushing through the game (only doing the quests you have to, as fast as possible) isnt fun. youll have to cheat to be able to do that, anyway. about the dread curse, youre right. btw please take care with your punktuation and spelling. many people dont like to see posts like that.
  25. IMO there should be an option wether to drink the wine yourself or share it with a NPC. imagine having a party with erika and prazac
