spiderweb is mostly 1 man company so fancy graphics like in oblivion etc can be forgotten.

she will "reborn" to last battle in library so killing her now is waste of time, energy, health/etc potions, etc.

there's endless supply of giants in avernum so nothing to feel bad. only creatures which are rare are dragons and partially drakes (of course players have killed some of those during their travels).

you can't please everyone so if has 3 quests with same target but different goal requirements then fullfill quest which gives best reward and ignore others. you can in this case please everyone by fullfilling highground and thalants quests 1st and then muck by killing all who move in giant's place. only good giant is dead giant.

try vmware player, it has tools which improve video etc performance.

guarded by hellhounds?

Black Fortress jail dungeon is messy place so its easy to miss 1 cell since they all look quite same.

if you have touched pylon in Vahnatai Lands then you can return there to finish un-finished quests before finishing game.

based on prev. games if you don't do her quest she won't help you in final battle. besides you have murdered and will murder many ppls so those in that camp won't matter.

not impossible, just need to use rejuvenation elixirs (although player has enuf money holes until last quest).

you can spare them in Khalida's quest but then Khalida won't be helping you in last battle (if you decide to attempt it).

1. can't upload files to this forum so if you need to post file then upload it so somewhere like zippyshare. 2. I'd think so that needs to edit all main camp files due its location changes.

unless some1 gives proper answer I suggest to watch chessrook's Avernum 5 videos (number of vid 90 onwards) in youtube to see locations of control panels.

bw is totally new place. you can get invitation from 2 places and velusa temple is difficult (until you have bought all trainings from temple better not to make them angry) and berazza isn't easy either (unless wants to disappoint redbeard) but easier than velusa.

have you talked to redbeard? he has mission for you in bw too. bw should be on left side of foresight.

energy elixirs are better to make and after battle you can walkaround and let health and mana get restored and also magical efficiency isn't worst thing to invest for casters and bit first aid for all.

Warborn dungeon can be confusing since there are so many ladders and some are in weird places.

I encountered hard to kill ogre/titan party near main gate when wandering around, gave up after few attempts and chose different route and later when I got back to same place those were gone.

I got only 1 lvl of swordmage in ACS and in the end only shields encumber (10%), bit oddly casters still wear leather pants (prolly forgot to change those but also possible that no better suitable found for casters).

zuerebx: yes since then some battles aren't as lopsided as they are normally.

i'd say yes.

brooches allow party to get into Hawthorne's palace to do your mission and make possible for Erika to retrieve you from there, you yourself can't use those like any of other special items. if you don't have enuf brooches then its 1 way trip to death (unless you use backtostart cheat although then you might break game).

for example tower of magi and mertis areas have easy opponents and also tough opponents which you can't deal until later when party has gained more lvls. Avernum is 1 big open world and that means that player can easily put his/her nose to some place where it shouldn't be put until much later.

you have other passwords? shouldn't matter but worth to try. no acid spray mentioned in older games.

that's nice since apparently chessrook44 hasn't videoplayed Avernums since A6.
