  1. Is there supposed to be friendly fire damage only on Hard and Torment? I played through on Casual and the Shadowalker's AOE acid bomb attack, whatever it is called, affects all characters in the goo area.
  2. In the early game I had no idea what was going on and I couldn't remember why I was doing anything. It was frustrating. But eventually the pace picks up and your tasks are more focused. I think this is the best Avadon, the first reason being that every problem has no solutions that don't make me feel gross.
  3. I'm trying not to be dense, but there is no Scripts directory in there. I right click on the Avadon 3 application, and left click on Show Package Contents. There is no Scripts folder or directory in there. Even Spotlight can't find it.
  4. I don't seem to have a file with that name. Is that supposed to be present with the Mac version?
  5. Can I access the full ending text for the game? I finished it, liked it, will probably play through again, but I probably won't play the fifty or so times it would take to see all the possible combinations.
  6. Thanks! I tried to look at the scripts, but was unsuccessful due to not having any idea how to look at the scripts.
  7. Does anyone have the titles for all ranges of reputation?
  8. THANK YOU I would not have figured that out in another hundred hours. Since they were apparently part of the security system, and I was attacked nearby, I thought they were the on-off switches for a monster generator.
  9. Ok, I have been walking around the Halls of Chaos for like two hours, which is probably two weeks in game time. I can't find the lab. I have been through the maze with the secret doors and reached the gate where it tells me I need a a key. I have found the three mundane items, put them in the chests, and pulled the levers. In fact I pulled the levers, then later not knowing what else to do I pulled them twice more. I haven't seen any trash pit. Heeeeeeeeelp
  10. Well, I am a bit abrasive... I think that at least one of the "extra" Vahnatai attackers was not part of the original group, because I notice the quartermaster is gone now.
  11. Hello all, I am in Fort Haledon. I was let in, then was attacked, then forced my way into the commander's office. The commander realized I was legit and said the fort's mission was to assist me. Hooray. Except. When I walk back out into the main fort, the other Vahnatai attack me. I went back to my save and went through the entire dialogue with the commander again, making sure I went through all the options -- except "You failed" because why would I say that to the poor guy? The only thing I can think of is that when I was fighting the Vahnatai who ambushed me in the barracks, a Vahnatai from another part of the fort wandered over to help kill me and I had to kill him also. Is this a bug? Can I edit something to fix it? This is the Mac version, purchased directly from the Spiderweb site. Thanks all. EDIT: I had to kill two additional Vahnatai and the rest left me alone. Maybe they were part of the original ambush? Maybe they were just jerks.
  12. I think I am in the wrong area of Avernum. I met with the Olgai Council and they decided I was cool so they removed the barriers. I took the portal back to the Tower of Magi. I went to Almaria and was caught in an ambush and the whole party was killed. I went to the Castle and didn't really accomplish anything there, so I went back to the Tower and on the way got mauled by some ogres. Prior to my arrival at the Tower, all the fights were easy or competitive -- I am playing on Casual. Am I supposed to be in the Great Cave at all, or am I supposed to return to Formello on foot? Maybe? Or am I supposed to still be in Vahnatai Lands completing quests...? Thank you.
  13. Hello all. I can't close doors in A2:CS. Is that supposed to happen? Bug, intentional, doesn't matter? This is on the Mac version purchased from the Spiderweb site. Are First Aid and the Lore skills combined across the party, as they were in A4-6? Thanks all.
  14. I understand this decision and have no problem continuing to support your company. Will Crystal Souls be available on Steam only, then? Sorry if I'm being dense, Spiderweb games are the only ones I play and I have no idea how other distribution channels work.
  15. Which tiles represent the uneven ground? I can see the rough ground-monsters come out locations, but I can't figure out exactly which ground causes ensnarement. There are maybe three or four ground tiles aside from the ones that are obviously stone/floor.
  16. Whole world same size. The outdoors-indoors transition completely de-immerses me as the scale of the universe mysteriously changes upon entering or exiting a town. Avernum seems huge without the separate outdoors anyway.
  17. I would also recommend lowering the difficulty level. I suck at games and make no effort to min-max. I just imagine a character and distribute points based on that. I always play on the easiest level and have had little difficulty finishing Avernums IV-VI or Avadon. The Geneforges are hard, I couldn't finish the last one even when I cheated. EFTP is pretty hard too. But the games have difficulty levels so that they can be challenging to hardcore optimizers and fun for people like me who just want to go through the story and defeat evil.
  18. Will there be accessibility options? To make game text larger, for example?
  19. I want you to know, I upgraded my Mac to 10.6 just so I could play this game. It only cost $20 and about two hours, but still.
  20. Spiderweb games have given me a lot of enjoyment over the last six years, and the new game looks great. But I won't buy a new computer just to play it.
  21. I've played Avadon from beginning to end three times. Maybe four. I am more impressed with it each time. The politics are about as real as it gets in a game of this kind. You don't have to follow along with all the cultural and territorial conflicts, but it is much more fun if you do. I think the key to understanding the overall narrative is accepting that your character is not the hero of the story. This is just the first chapter, anyway. I suspect that Avadons 2 and 3 will be progressively more sophisticated intellectually, based on what I've seen in Avernum and Geneforge. As for the supporting characters, Nathalie is a wackjob and I can't travel with her at all. Shima needs to decide what his priorities really are. Sevilin has PTSD so I don't blame him for his more irritating traits. The only one I actually like is Jenell. She has a legitimate gripe and is not a psychopath.
  22. Originally Posted By: MissSea On that same point, I also miss going into ruined cottages and invading unsuspecting individuals' privacy. Especially when the comments as you move about the place say things like, "Go away" and "Get out!" I miss this too. In A4 there was a quest that required you to deliver a message to a person who, it turned out, was on the second floor of a house near Formello. If you didn't invade all the houses, you would never have any idea where she was.
