Yeah, beat the boss on the 2nd try. Thanks for the help. I just needed the nudge to use potions and that I didn't miss something in particular. Dexterity/dodge tanking sounds hard to me. I guess you would have to be a missile tank?

Oh...lame... I built my guy as a tank, with emphasis on health more than damage. I am playing on hard. Beat the 8 guys with 3 potions.. it just felt wrong to me so I figured I'd ask. Thanks.

I had to leave my 2 companions above ground and Shigaz was injured. I go up the east wall to Haru, who gives me a key. I moved west, unlock the door, and kill the 4-5 guys in the next room. I have no idea what I am supposed to do now. I cannot solo the 8 guys just north of me. If I try to sneak past to the shade, the 8 guys join the fight. Is the game bugged? What should I be doing?

Great, thanks!

Are they referring to the healing spells being boosted or when you are healed, it is increased by 10%? Thanks!

Good to know. Thanks.

I tried equipping 2 items that reduce recharge time by 15% each onto one character and it seemed to only reduce it by 15%. Is this actually the case or am I missing something?

I got Flash Powder for the slow. Level 1 is giving ensnared, which is supposed to be level 3. Do you get slow at 3 and they are just reverse? Thanks!

No one questions the value of rereading books? Of course people do... Your final sentence is preposterous considering your premise is flawed. It is dim to think that "no one" questions the value of rereading books...

Nothing is inconceivable.

Yes, I'm sure it reaches many people that never tried the earlier ones, especially since everything gets IOS releases. My post specifically is asking about whether anyone knows what new is in the pipeline. "The mechanics is a big part of the gameplay experience, so it doesn't feel at all like the exact same game " The same story, maps, and basic idea.. yet it doesn't feel at ALL like the same game to you? I guess we look at things way differently then.

The story and the maps are the same you say. Graphics being different mean nothing to me. I don't play these game for graphics, obviously. Different game mechanics, in the exact same game... yeah, there are just way too many NEW games out there for me to waste time retreading on old territory.

Yes, but that is not what the person I quoted was referring to.

"Jeff is sticking to a proven formula" Remaking the same game over and over is not a formula. It is literally the same thing.

I honestly don't understand why Exile is being remade for the 3rd time. What do we have to look forward to that is new in the next few years?

Beat it... Glad to be done.. guess the repetition just wore on me... more story is needed and less grinding!

I've made my way to the chithrath next in the nw corner in the remote tunnels and I'm really really feeling the painful repetition... am I almost done?

I have a 13-39 bow I believe and I've come across an 8-16 acid bow and submissive bow.. are they worth experimenting with even though they have such less damage?

I've played G1-3 and A 1-3.. I'll be done with A4 soon... I also own G4 and Resurrection... are they better than A4? For those who have played A5(I think it is out?), is it any better?

I really think it had to do with the lack of a plot.. There really isn't much of a motivation... Bring item halfway across the world is pretty boring. I do like the engine changes though.

The first 3 Avernums were incredibly addicting to me.. for some reason I find 4 to be kinda boring... I am about 2/3 through but I've found it incredibly repetitive... Who knows.. maybe my tastes have changed... Anyone agree/disagree?

Guess it is good and bad. Good in that I don't need to wall hump and wrack my brains out.

Are there still hidden passages like in the previous Avernums? I am unaware if they made the transition to the new engine.

Great, thanks for the help.

I just started Avernum 4, and I have played all the previous games. Just a few quick questions. Am I right that you have unlimited arrows now? Am I right that you could train anywhere in town now? Am I right that you only heal/regain spell points when you step into town or use potions/spells? Is there a delay/wait button in combat or has it been removed? Overall, I do like the change to the geneforge engine. Thanks ahead of time!
