Okay, thanks for the clarifications...

I *may* end up going back and replaying anyway; I just encountered this drake that I'd like to try to free, and of course I can't because I made the mistake of accepting Gladwell's geas, and he wants me to *kill* the poor thing.

I *really* wish I'd gone with my moral instincts and ignored that turkey (Gladwell)'s offer; he raised the hackles on my neck the first time I spoke with him... hmph

I'm at the point of just getting reading to enter the Northern Territories. I have three different quests which appear to have been short-circuited because I explored the world before I went to cities to start talking to people:

1. scuttler eyes

By the time I got this quest, I'd already cleared out the caves, northwest of New Harston. When I go back now, there's nothing there. I can't find any un-explored caves to deal with.

2. rat bounty

By the time I picked up this quest, I'd already cleared out the caves, defeated the Rat Lord, talked with the mayor.

3. Rogue Kherrrrrrrrrr

Once I finished the test, I went back down there, but Rogue K is nowhere to be seen.

These all seem like punishments because I didn't do things in the correct order - but the reason I love the Avernums in the first place is that I can wander the world for awhile, filling out the maps and getting the lay of the land, before I dive into the main quests....

So... have I, in fact, missed out one all these quests?? or am I not looking in the right places?? I *think* I've thoroughly explored everything "northwest of New Harston" ...

Hokay, thanks for the comments!!

Yeah, I'm playing on normal, and we just hacked through him... good to know I didn't miss much.

Actually, I'm unlikely to go back and replay this area, but I decided *not* to let him go, and he didn't give me his "treasure". I see a chest behind a wall, with no switch to open it - I'm assuming that's his treasure??

If so, what did I miss out on by choosing his life over it??

Aye, I've registered and played BofA. The main quests were okay, but most of the addons where too short to get particularly inspired by. OTOH, I haven't played in a year or two, so I think I'll go see what's been created more recently.

Thanks for the reminder!!

I had almost despaired of ever having another Avernum-style game to play... I never even finished A4, and I barely started GF4 before I blew it off... tired of jumping from dungeon to dungeon to dungeon, I missed having large worlds that I could just wander across and explore without constant fighting.

Nethergate:Resurrection was a *joy* !!! I just finished, and wish I had another whole game to play!! Maybe I'll go back and A3 again...

Thank you again for giving me another experience in the old world!!

Holy Cow!!! So I left them all until after I was done with Titan's test!?!?!? Sheesh...

I should use the editor and change all my chars' INTs to 1 ... <sigh>

Okay, I just finished the circle warrens, and after figuring out the trick for that one, last barred room, have (I believe) destroyed all the tiles. So what's changed?? What I not supposed to deal with the tiles untile after something else had happened??

I've already driven out Titan, so I hope they weren't supposed to do something sly like make that battle easier...

Any hints available?? I searched thru older mail, but don't see any discussions about what the tiles are for...

Oh, my... that simple, eh?? Sorry about that, and thanks for giving me the hint without laughing at me.

It just didn't occur to me to look for character-editing features under the "Use" command... eep!!

I just started a new game, but I was in cautious when creating my new characters , and I didn't change the overhead character graphic to match what I set the regular graphics to, and I'm very confused trying to keep track of who's who when we move around. The in-game character editor doesn't appear to let me change the graphics. Is this hidden somewhere (other than in the new-character creation screen)?? If not, does someone else have an editor that will let me change this??

BTW, I *am* a registered user of the game...
