The second torch room works just like the first.

According to the hint book, "forgiveme" and its variants are not in this game... weird!

It's possible the game is not coded properly for higher resolutions. If you set your resolution to 1920x1080, does it fill the screen?

Also, for Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, if you use the little widget at the top of that page, it comes with a free Steam key. It's a pretty sweet setup, though our older games don't have that.

this is sometimes a good policy; there are people whose web identities are more stable than anything else about them, including their bodies. consequently getting attached to faces can be a little silly sometimes — and really bodies are as malleable and performative as anything else about someone, so ...

...but polearms are amazing in the early game...

No, it just kept telling me to enter the number provided above the field into the field itself, then telling me I had the wrong number.

The cache is also cleared with the Clear History and Website Data command. I hadn't suggested that because I assumed he had already done this since he mentioned he deleted the cookies.

At this point, I would suggest nuking and paving. If you delete the Safari folder from your user library, whatever is causing this should be deleted as well. Quit Safari, open a Finder window click on Go on the menu bar, hold down the option key (or alt if you're using a Windows keyboard, and click on Library. You may want to backup your bookmarks first; if so, open the Safari folder and copy bookmarks.plist somewhere you can find it. Then delete the Safari folder and relaunch Safari. If this doesn't fix it, something deep in your system files is screwed up.

this might be off topic, but when did the mod name colors become title colors?

Congrats.

(4) IIRC I can buy dispel barrier scrolls or something so it wouldn't be a problem, I guess.

Piercing crystals and dispel barrier scrolls cast the spell at level 2. Some barriers can be broken only by level 3 dispel barrier.

The review wasn't copied from the Lyceum, probably because my review was basically a personal attack that had nothing to do with the scenario.

Precisely. When copying reviews from the Lyceum to SV, we made the decision not to include reviews that had no substance or were obviously attacks. When copying them from SV to their current home on SW, I weeded out a few more of them that had somehow made the cut the first time.

...you might as well buy a real computer to go with it.

There is no save slot system for Nethergate. You can create as many save files as you want. If you click Save Game, it automatically updates the save file you loaded. If you click Save Game As instead, you can choose to make a new one.

I am not necessarily talking new franchises here. I'd rather Avadon 3-51 if so be it rather than remaking old material. I don't see any inherent risk in expanding the most successful franchise that he has made so far.

To which I again reference Blades of Avernum. The issue is not just new franchises but new titles in those franchises. There is more risk, although probably less than with a whole new franchise.

To be fair, Blades of Avernum was kind of half remake, half new game in the same franchise.

Some laptops let you connect to an external monitor if you don't mind using it as a desktop.

I have yet to see a laptop that does not.

Yeah, for some reason that alias broke, even though the one for Exile 1 did not. You can find the actual character editor, but right-clicking the Exile 2 app, and selecting show package contents.

For what it's worth, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of installing the games, I've made Mac apps of the Exile and Avernum trilogies using Wineskin. You can download them here.

Other people have written Avernum fan fiction before. It should be fine.

Healthcare: Yes.

Education: Yes.

Internet: Yes.

Reproduction: Yes.

Torture: Never.

Euthanasia: Yes, under any circumstance.

Death penalty: Never.

Abortion: On request.

Rights: Birth.

Nuclear Weapons: Yes, but only in extenuating circumstances, like preventing even more destruction.

And as for outdoor/indoor it reminds me of Harry Potter 4 badly...

...what?

To get the full story, you have to play the game as both.

There's this cool Roman myth of this rich farmer named Cincinnatus*, who was selected to become the Dictator of the Roman Republic during a time of crisis. He dutifully led the Romans through war successfully, earning the admiration of his peers. He would have been able to be Rome's first emperor, most likely. However, after the war was over, he absolved power and restored the Republic. Because of that humility and lack of corruption, he was held by many to be the ideal Roman man.

For some reason, Cincinnatus is held up as exceptional for this, when it was standard Roman policy. He was neither the first nor the last man appointed dictator of Rome (which was an actual job title) who stepped down after serving his term.

1-10. I am a google-fearing man.

 

(If anyone cares, there are always PMs)

You do realize this actually answers one of the questions, right?
