Does the bought skill Magery work for priest spells? In the description it just says "spells" so I am assuming it'll work for priest spells too... Also, the mighty drake in the nw corner offers a boon for 10k... once I pay I cannot find any change to my stats or skills though.. what does he give?

After searching through the walkthroughs it appears the fourth spire is actually IN the factory itself.. how incredibly lame... Super misleading.

Well I found one path with lizards, killed them and searched the walls and found nothing and I also found a path with a shrub that my guys don't know what is... and searched those walls. Blocked north by guardpost past them.

I am quite stuck.. I need to find the tunnel to the power source in the mountains to shut off the power to the golem station.. I have tried looking for passages on all sides of the mountains and looked for spots on the land surrounding it... Besides for the temple that I cannot enter because I have fake Anama rings, I see no alternative route to that source. Please nudge me in the right location without giving too much away!

So the only way to get hit for less is just to gain some levels and the levels itself will make you take less damage?

Well there goes a crapload of skill points... Why doesn't it say that anywhere!?

Another question: Does assassination affect bows?

It seems like endurance just gives hitpoints.. but if you are getting hit for 30+ per hit, endurance won't seem to help much.

I am currently playing A3 and had a few questions. I am around level 30 and my main warrior takes some pretty steep hits and often. Does defense or hardiness really do much to help? I have them at 10 and 7 respectively. Also, I am guessing just plain extra levels helps as well? Also, does dexterity eventually give you a 2nd attack if you get it high enough?

Ah, thanks.

I am waiting for the windows version but how will the upgrade option work? Will it have it on record if you have bought the previous version on your account and automatically give the discount?

That is incredibly lame.. my guy has 20 health due to a transference robe...

I am on the ice island and I have gone to the shaper camp.. yet I still keep dieing of the cold.. what am I supposed to do?

I tried coming back, tried different saved games, the golem wasn't there.. just curious what was behind the door.. already started G3.

I killed the golem immediately and he wasn't rebuilt like the guy suggested.. what was behind the door?

Just beat the game... Parry was 19 and dex was 11... couldn't avoid the blasts.. had to use shielding/speed/reloading... Beat the game at level 41. Minor spoilers: You cannot reach the door in the shades patrol right?

In Geneforge 2 I am playing a Guardian. I am fairly near to the end of the game and I am having trouble with magical enemies like the gazers... I cannot seem to block their magic... which skill should I raise to dodge/block magical attacks?

and I am guessing you find the newer spells? Also, is it just me or is the game horribly unbalanced? Some hard quests give no xp because by the time you can do it, you are too high. Too many areas give little to no xp(5 per enemy)... I know the game is non-linear, but I never had such problems with Fallout... Does it get better balanced in 2 and 3?

Well, I upped my healing from 7 to 10 last level and didn't really see any improvement. 40-60 healing.,.. and under my abilities list it shows healing at 2... Any ideas?

Oh, and one more thing... it seems like spellcraft is important to determine healing abilities.. is this correct? I was under the assumption that I could keep increasing my healing skill and that would be enough. Would that be wrong?

As a newbie who read that magic creations are the best, I didn't want to level my guy as if I knew this ahead of time.. therefore, I am primarily bumping intelligence since I won't legitimately know which type is the best til the end. So far I have been using battle/magic.. the newer the find, the better.. was using the big battle guys, now just found a drayyk. I guess I could add one level of each magic/battle creations each level.

Doesn't it make more sense to go all into intelligence than the shaping skills? That way you could max out new creations' strength, etc? It seems like you get the new creations from exploring, and not levelling. Wouldn't it be better to max strength than to give the creation a few levels? And also, does strength affect everyones' damage, including missile type creations?

Ok, one last question for now. How worth it is it to increase the shaping skills? It gives an extra level to the appropriate creatures right? Is it that every 3 into the shaping skills gets you a new creature or every 3 canisters that raise like roamer to level 3 gets me a new creature? I have been pretty much just pumping everything into int/healing/leadership/mechanics... Also, how do you determine the category of new creatures such as a battle alpha?

Isn't that kind of silly? What is the point of their skill points then? Nothing? hat is the advantage of evolving vs absorbing and creating a newer creature with more stats?

Thanks guys. New question: What is the advantage of evolving your creatures over just starting them out with higher stats?
