Enraged Slith

This is my girlfriend's cat, Gary: Here's Gary meeting some ducklings:

This is the graphical glitch I was referring to: I didn't have any trouble with the naga fight as my magic made short work of all of the hydras and the naga just kept casting weak summoning spells over and over

I don't know why, but the Slithzerikai have always been my favorite of the lizard people races. Maybe it's because they were my first.

Congratulations on the completion. I'll play it when I get home.

Just finished it. Really great work. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the pacing kept things exciting. Only problem I noticed was the river on the southwest portion of the island; a section of it isn't connected right. Other minor issue: Gameplay opinions:

I haven't touched the game yet. Honestly, nothing Avernum has ever come close to capturing what I enjoyed about the Exile series. From what I know about games in general, whether or not a mechanic is enjoyable really comes down to whether or not it enhances the experience. In a tactical game like Xcom, the fixed miss chances add a lot of tension and force the player to play as conservatively as possible. It also sometimes forces the player to make leaps of faith or to run fast and loose and try to mitigate the collateral damage. Point being, not being able to anticipate your turns to 100% precision create drama, and that's where the fun happens. The Avernum games have felt more and more like a slog with each iteration, the primary reason being the sheer amount of trash combat. It generally winds up feeling like a chore or just another type of wall to prevent the player from progressing past that point. Basically, if you've leveled up enough so that your numbers are bigger than the enemy's numbers, you get to pass and continue with the game in that direction. Otherwise, you're just not supposed to go there yet. Exile didn't have these sorts of hard limitations because its ratio of health to damage and the way it handled magic allowed for a lot of flexibility, which benefited the free exploration style of gameplay. So what does the accuracy cap add?

At first glance, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to win in the second fight against:

Probably one of the more frustrating limitations of the game.

Glad people are still making these. Looking forward to playing it.

I feel bad that I didn't see this until now. Very exciting.

I think it will be okay. Get over it. This is a huge deal for me.

This is me And here are some of the lovely ladies who gave me their phone numbers. Currently seeing the last girl who is far more beautiful in person. (mod edit: pics removed) I can't stop. Help me.

I'm suddenly drowning in more attractive women than I know what to do with. It's amazing. Thanks, bud.

Oh god, Daenerys. Just kill me now.

What game?

I'd appreciate it if you'd stop referring to me as an example for your tangent.

Well OKC is about as depressing as I thought it would be. I'm apparently attractive, though, so there's that.

I have a friend who has plenty of success with online dating, but it isn't for me. It just seems to lack humanity. I don't know how people are able to communicate so naturally through text, but I'm completely inept and have never felt comfortable doing it.

I understand this, but it's unbelievably frustrating for a guy who didn't do the whole 4 year daycare for young adults thing and has just resolved over a decade of crippling emotional/mental problems. It's like I've woken up from a deep sleep and everyone has moved on.

The problem with the world is that every girl I'm remotely interested in got married or is getting married to their college sweetheart. Am I supposed to go back to college and creep on 18 year old children? I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Nah, I'll be good.

Turns out she's engaged. Also, I'm working with her tomorrow. Alone. Help me.
