Erikia being captured in a crystal soul by the Vahnatai after A3 would have been an awesome twist! Perhaps A5 will include one of the two ends of the ZKR, to help give it a real place in the world. Btw, one of the problems with mentally understanding Avernum is that, really, there can be many, many layers. It's hard to visualise how these all fit above and below each other.

Ok my summary of what I thought of Avernum 4: The indoor/outdoor unification: - It was an interesting experiment, but I think I prefer the way it was in the previous games. It just feels so much bigger in the previous games, and the towns are so disproportionate in size. The lack of elevation: - This added a whole new dimension to the previous games (literally, heh). No arrows: - This is definitely an improvement No food: - This is also definitely an improvement No boats: - Obviously the different exploration boats give you is more fun. What I think I'd prefer in Av 5 would be that not most items can't be sold for 1gp, I can't help myself going back and forth collecting all of them!

Anyone know what this is supposed to do? It says it does 3-6 damage, and is worth 250 coins. I can't see it in Slartucker's item list (v0.9).

Woops missed that completely

Quote: Originally written by Kelandon: ... unless one counts whatever may be going on in the slith homeland... Exactly! That's definitely supposed to be a (big) nation. Quote: Originally written by Kelandon: ... The vahnatai also have many clans... Doh, you're right on this one, my bad. So that makes 3 big nations then, plus several smaller ones, e.g. Vahnatai clans, large Slith/Nephil/etc clans.

Quote: Originally written by Derakon: ...the only other two nations in the world... I think you forgot the Slith empire as well. That's four empires in total (The Empire, Avernum, Vahnatai and Sliths.

What are the ingredients for it?

Yeah I must agree, while the merging of indoors and outdoors was an interesting experiment, and I guess it's quite fun to play something different once in a while, I have gone back firmly to the indoor/outdoor split. Just feels so much more... epic

I get almost 100% CPU usage as well when I get this.

A question about learning spells from people and books in Avernum 4. Are books the only way to get a spell to its highest level? If you read say the only book on a spell first before raising the spell level, can you ever get it up to max level (three?)? Do you have to raise the skill level of all the players you want to be able to cast it at top level to the max buyable level first, then read the book?
