Here is mine.

This has been discussed before. There was a Linux port of Exile 3 that did not sell well at all. All Spiderweb games run just fine using Wine. The number of Linux users who game and do not use Wine is very small indeed.

The file can be located here:
Home (Your Home Folder)/Library/Preferences/Avernum 6 Prefs
Note, on OS X 10.7, which is presumably what your new Mac is running, the user library folder is hidden by default. The easiest way to access it is to click on the Go menu in Finder, then hold down the option key, you should see Library as one of the options.

You can respec with the editor if you keep track of the points.Originally Posted By: The Turtle MovesIt's too bad the respec option was omitted, but presumably this was because of the existence of skill trainers (which are absent in Avadon). I'd be pretty annoyed if I had spent thousands improving my skills, only to have those points vanish.

Unfortunately, I still have to play the two BoE scenarios. Due to working a lot of extra hours the past two weeks, I have not had as much free time as I would like. I am hoping to have my scores turned in this weekend.

I didn't find this feature boring in Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas.Originally Posted By: GingerGlaahkOriginally Posted By: HOUSE of S
What would have been much better: A "Quick Travel" feature as seen in Eschalon 2. You can zip along to various locations you've already visited, saving "sandwich time" spent walking across the world map.
I actually think that this would ruin the game experience, because you are supposed to wander around, and not "zip" all over the place. The entire point is that you walk around, getting special encounters. Having a "Quick Travel" feature would greatly reduce game time and pretty much bore the player out. -

Thanks! I somehow missed that first portal in your instructions.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get to the center. I've explored the entire place and tried all the portals.

I'm sure if you email Jeff asking if you may give him money, he will say yes.Originally Posted By: MissSeaI genuinely felt bad when I paid only $10 for this game (having received the aforementioned Avernum discount). Looking back, I shouldn't have said I had other games -- $20 is a STEAL for a game this involved and intense.
And considering the fact that I guilted my in-laws into getting my husband a new laptop with the thinly held belief that he needs it for school and "why don't you get him a MacBook because Macs are SO much better" JUST so I could play this game now, instead of three to six months down the road, I should really be giving Jeff twice as much. In the interest of giving back ... and swinging the karma meter back my way.

Yes.Originally Posted By: TriumphWas Drakefyre an administrator prone to dispensing whimsical titles?Stareye.Originally Posted By: TriumphAs a simple matter of curiosity, who revises the forum titles each time a new game comes out (i.e. changing G5 titles to Avadon titles to Avernum titles)?

I haven't seen the movie, but my problem with the trailer is that Tintin's nose is shaped like a normal nose.Originally Posted By: DintiradanI might give Tintin a go: The Secret of the Unicorn is probably my favourite Tintin book. Though I'm a bit apprehensive: have the characters been 'Hollywoodized'?

The can be found in the FAQ. Triad Mage was always a custom title.Originally Posted By: AndroidI can't find the title list. How much do I need to post to day to become a Triad Mage before the titles are changed again? Or was Triad Mage a custom title, I can't remember.
A noble undertaking it will be either way.Quote:0 New Arrival

How? It doesn't look anything like the old default, unless you mean the old UBB Threads default, which was only around for a few weeks.Originally Posted By: ActaeonCoffee reminds me of the old board default...
-
Coffee and UBB Threads Dark are both hideous, so I stick with the default.
-
I have 4 scenarios left to play. I should be done by the deadline.

Maybe Alorael would know that if someone ever finished the history of the boards they claim to be working on.

Dantius does not have a custom title. "Commander of Avernum" is the new title for someone who has 3000-3999 posts. You have it too.Originally Posted By: Thin Gypsy Thief. . . Now Dantius has one. Huh. Fitting.

Yes, but stop after the Heritage of Shannara series and don't read any further unless you really want to.Originally Posted By: ErasmusOriginally Posted By: Paint Quality Monitor—Alorael, who is most impressed that Terry Brooks is still getting published in a market saturated with bad fantasy and not too devoid of good fantasy.
They even made a Shannara computer game
Do you recommend reading the series? -
Sixteen actually, unless I'm forgetting someone. It was not me, though, so that narrows it down to fifteen.Originally Posted By: Darth Ernieit's not too mysterious.
as far as i know there aren't more than five or six people who can do that -
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks is even more of a Lord of the Rings ripoff.
-
I'm still reading Fires of Heaven in my reread of WoT. I keep getting sidetracked by other things.
Suggestion.
