a comet's going to hit ermarian.

i don't think i've ever actually reached the level cap in any avernum game.

time to poke some holes in that post: 1. garzahd is a human, thus a bad candidate for a crystal soul 2. the vahnahtai hated garzahd, so they wouldn't team up with him 3. garzahd already has a cameo in avernum 4 where he...well, how can i put this without a spoiler? he got what he deserved and cried about it.

i'm sure it has nothing to do with her, but i just googled cecile vidican and marie-cecile vidican, who is apparently a language teacher in new jersey, has a few pages of results.

i thought it was strange that demonslayer was in a seemingly random place in avernum 3. then again, what better place is there to have a powerful weapon than where you wouldn't expect it?

sharpshooter is basically blademaster for bows (tongue twister), so it would actually make a lot of sense skill-wise to have an assassination equivalent, too. i'm not even going to bother mentioning the practical applications right now.

if that's the case, then yes to your previous question. i'm sure that if i caught it, somebody else will, too.

as in, like, all of the characters in shayder are named after characters in trainspotting? if that's the case, there should be some clarification, like "all NPCs" or something

fourth one down in "named for fictional characters" needs the character's name: [X3] (in Shayder) = characters from Trainspotting

he was using your quote to show somebody that you know what you're doing.

here's a more recent "favorite character" thread in the exile forums.

you can always just cheat.

the source code for exile 1-3 probably won't ever be released. at least, not until jeff retires or something.

there are quite a few seemingly bottomless pits in upper avernum.

i'm not sure how an ice age would destroy the caves.

It would be an entirely tactical and strategic challenge and everyone would probably hate the game. robin hood: legend of sherwood may be what you're looking for.

"and the end of avernum" as a separate sentence definitely means something.

well, it is camp samuels. maybe they just felt like moving it to the other side of the river after awhile.

i was thinking the same thing, actually. i mean, "the end of avernum" is different than "the end of the avernum series". but i don't know.

also, someone said something about a new series in here. it looks like that's exactly what jeff wants to do.

i know it's not the point of the question, but a lot of people tend to do side quests which take up a lot of unnecessary time, so the answer could, in fact, be b.

i usually used sliths for my magic users for the same reason, the +1 intelligence. it let me use the extra skill points for other stuff during character creation.

i usually use summoned monsters for decoys when i'm facing swarms of monsters.

when facing north (up), west is left.

it's extremely practical to sell training if that's what your specialist is. after all, who doesn't like money? what doesn't seem too practical to me, however, is defense/hardiness decreasing encumbrance, at least not more than strength does.
