geneforge 1 has older game-engine prolly.

Alot search results gives suggestion to update drivers (especially display adapter's drivers).

Killed Melanchion and must say it was toughest battle fought in A5 cause every turn 1 fighter got terrorised (and of course run out of spellcasters range so fighter remained terrorised until spell's effect weared down) and sometimes whole party got slowed. Divine Restoration was most helpful spell in that battle. Melanchion's golems were much better than Solberg's (who I also killed).

Frustrating to see that there is secret door but button/lever which opens that door is hidded bit too well.

I steal all valuable if can do it w/o seen at A5 since training costs alot and monsters drop (if they drop) only things which have low value. In A5 I have sold all extra armors, cloaks, weapons, girdles (even fine leathers and focusing crystals since crafted things gave around same protection/etc as things what I'd found) etc to get money for training and at end I have 9k gold in pocket, A4 all extra armors etc were stored in portal area. Not enough monsters drop sellable things and not enough monsters to beat to get money. Exile 3 had endless money source from Empire-soldiers and their stuff but Avernum-games no moneymaking (except on A3 prolly where could sell clothes made on some town to some other town).

She should be in Muck near Mayor's office (right behind smith), as far as I know she doesn't move anywhere so goto elsewhere,use pylon and then return to see if she's there. No winter etc seasons at Avernum.

No more respawning areas in A6, those get annoying after fights same battle xth time w/o any reward. What comes to A6 plot there are many options: Dragons decide to get ridoff Avernites so "we" must help them as Avernites or as Empire Soldiers, some ancient horde rises again from underworld and it must be killed. Only time tells what next plot will be but I hope A6 isn't bigger than A5's since A5's Avernum was big place to explore (trip around Avernum nearly).

Couldn't get chance to join Loyalist side cause I had been "rude" to Ruth at Exodus so I saw only Emire's side of ending and so not gonna play half of A5 several times thru to get to see all endings. Somehow I think Redmark ain't best candidate as Emperor but no other options so........

I restarted A5 after getting pissed to Gladwell (and giving him Anama Scrolls w/o getting freedom) and not getting rewards from him ain't that big deal since almost all he gives as rewards can be found/get later in game.

Not gonna try kill since no benefit and getting out alive isn't that easy (after stealing egg only my fighters survived alive (basically 1 since 2nd fighter was rescued 1st fighter hitting pylon). I also agree that Mel's Doomguard was easier than on PoA although my team was "few" levels lower at that point.

Has anyone tried and succeeded on that? Without character editor's help of course.

Fungis etc attack ranges could have increased since now I can't kill fungis etc in safe distance.

Did long range attacks ranges like spells got reduced from A4? In A4 my spellcasters killed those fungis at that giant's island w/o those fungis hitting my spellcasters but in A5 I need to go inside their attacking range. How far my spellcasters can be from fighters so scs can still for example heal them with Mass Healing-spell?

Yeah it was well hidden, not be founded w/o mousing every inch of all walls in Vahnatai lands. Found few more secret doors in Vahnatai's city. Doesn't any1 else want Chitrachs leftovers than those in Anama's city? Is there secret doors in that Gremlin Cave at Melanchion's region? Lots of buttons but actually only 1 secret door found.

I know it doesn't say, that's why I was lost too. Another hard thing was that mirror moving but not sure was it on A1 or A2.

In what way are spellcasters not effective in battles? Spells not doing same amount damage as they could do if had trained in spellcraft etc.

Seen no1 except those swamp monsters but if plays as evil then slaughters whole town (which also satisfies Vahnatais so not that evil after all).

As guide says go from abadoned mine to west and search west wall with farsight-spell since it ain't easy to find. I had same problem and found it after all and I remember that place quite well (if I saw that same place I could tell exactly where it is but I finished A2 years ago) but not well enough and my post is gone now. Exile 2's walkthrough is bit better on cache-case http://freespace.virgin.net/hope.parkin/exile2/e2walk/ecache.html

If you take Crystal Spiral then whole Muck hates you incl. Dionicio so best way to get it is after find passage D. wants and then go to steal it (and make sure all Muck's quests and trainings and potion makings etc are done) and either give it to Gladwell unless of course has killed that devil then give it to Melanchion.

so nothing major loss since unlock doors is prolly only useful spell she sells and maybe icy rain.
