  1. ...all of those "escorts", however, either: 1. Move totally independent of you 2. Don't follow you particularly well
  2. Its acquisition range is somewhat more generous than you might expect- JV (rightfully) assumes that some dumbasses will probably meander too close accidentally, especially with how close that church is.
  3. Athron's Lair, and also the one gatehouse en route to the Hawthorne portal.
  4. Quote: Originally written by Ephesos: Linearity is good when it's implemented well (which I feel A4 does, particularly beyond the demo). Are you mad? A4 beyond the demo is just a matter of "kill X number of plagues to gain enough levels to kill remaining X number of plagues before reaching the Castle". Chitraches (who are not supposed to look like goddamned clawbugs!), undead, bandits... Okay, so we get to the castle. First, there's a trap that any dumbass could smell from miles away. Then, there's another trap that's even more egregiously conceived. (Honestly, I expected the crystal box to blow up and incinerate the whole castle. They really were asking for it.) Then, um, go off and kill Rentar. Then go off and kill her again. Game over. This is like some sort of hideous parody. A3 was no good, but A4's plot is genuinely unbearable. I mean, the shades were a very nice idea... Dorikas' band was an interesting concept at first... But everything else was 100% re-hashed.
  5. After killing rentar and getting the game-over, my first thought was, "When do I get to kill Dorikas?" And hell, there's at least one gaping hole with that pylon- if pylons can be accessed by unattuned people, doesn't that essentially mean that Rentar's inner sanctum could have been accessed by ANYONE? Why wasn't I teleported there in the first place?
  6. [Edit: I changed the thread's title. The original name was "Beat Rentar."] Twice. But why did she have a pylon standing behind her, anyway?
  7. Unless this has changed since last time, I believe the problem with playing as a singleton is that the experience is not concentrated on one PC. Plus, blessing and hasting are: 1. More expensive 2. Cannot be done as one action
  8. He's right. Unless there's a serious and dramatic increase in difficulty as the game progresses, cheats are entirely superfluous.
  9. I nominate me as well. Not that it wouldn't be one of the most profoundly stupid measures the administration would have done in years...
