Originally Posted By: Karacan In my line of industry, we're looking forward to maximize monetization and impact of a new game on the first week - to do that, we build up hype, and to do that, waving around a release date works best. Oh, so you work on the Starcraft II development team, then?

And here I was expecting a demographics poll. We need another one of those.

They're more likely to return your stuff, or you get a quarter. Win-win! My trick to do this is that I keep the cap. Capless pens are pretty much useless, so it insures that it is either returned, or the thief goes insane looking for the cap.

It's one of my favorites, and I don't think its plot is a flaw. I just don't think plot is what drives the game forward, and trying to sell it as such is unhelpful. —Alorael, who will keep on arguing that Spiderweb runs its games on atmosphere more than on plot. Nethergate has plot as well as atmosphere, and some Geneforges do too. The later Avernums are becoming more plot-heavy. But plot isn't the point. And as a side note, plot seems to inversely with world openness. Both are considered selling points. Yes. It's almost as if Jeff wrote a beautiful, coherent plot all the way through chapters 1-3, but at 4 just got lazy and said "Screw it, I'll just remake Avernum from here on out, change up some dialogue, and mess with monsters. "

Unable to attend. Sorry.

Clearly you should instead kick ET over to Sunday, so I can attend it, and also reshape the entire RP schedule around my desires and whims .

Any time he hits an enemy in combat, he gets a +1 to Intimidate checks against that enemy until the end of his next turn. Like all intimidation, however, it runs the risk of simply enraging the enemy. Clearly I need to heckle you more until I get infinite free casts of Aura of Flames and Arcane Blow.

I had this problem with Geneforge 1-3 before. I figured out that the difference was that those were stored in my Program Files, while 4 and 5 were located in My Documents. You mifht want to move the files for your game from PF to My Documents, it worked for me. I just copied my copy of G5 from my laptop. I lost my progress, but it worked nonetheless. You might be better off mailing Jeff.

I worked this out once, for the RP. If you drew a square with one side on Gazaki Uss and the other on Bonepeak Ruins, then Drypeak should be on the vertex opposite Gazaki Uss, as B.R. is somewhere in what would be Barzite lands. We know Gazaki-Uss is built on Gazak-Uss, the challenge area in G2. Ghaldring mentions that he was born "a few days walk north of here", meaning Benerii-Uss. Simple, really. It just barley manages to fit on the map.

How about the retconning of the number of Councillors, or being of on the timeline by an order of magnitude (200 vs. 2000 years)?

It has the highest base damage aside from the Puresteel Blade, and does poison damage as well. With the Acid enchantment, it's probably my favorite weapon.

The Viper's Touch is also a great weapon, but you can only get it if you are a rebel.

Well, clearly Iam Mcdiarmid is a shoo-in for Garzhad, but who else? Maybe John Malkovich for the king, but after that I'm drawing a blank.
