Cool, thanks. As far as I can tell, this has fixed my problem.

Hey, thanks. I haven't been on a forum in awhile, but its nice to talk to people more. I just recently moved to the edge of civilization. I look at maps some times and its sort of weird; theres just one little road that comes through town here, and all these huge swaths of almost totally undeveloped territory. Its funny, I've never lived somewhere that the roads just sort of stopped.

Why I play: 1. Shareware; what else is a kid with no money to do but play a free demo and then beg dad to pay for the whole thing? The fact that I had allready downloaded the entire game and didn't need to do anything but hand over some cash made it more likey that Jeff gets my spare time (excellent business sense that last part.) 2. I've never ever in my life owned a computer that was less than 8 years old. This in and of it self is reason enought for me to play SW games. 3. Avernum rocks! At least 1 and 3 do (I admit, 5 sort of left a sour taste in my mouth and I've not tried the others). The story is so rich, and I like how the character building works. 4. I have a very active imagination. What the plot/graphics lack, I can easily make up for myself as needed. 5. I like to be at the center of things, in my waking life and my daydreams as well. Even if I had the connection and machine to make playing an MMORPG any fun, WoW pits my patheticly equipped, cassually played character up against folks who actually make/spend real world money pretending to be a troll/cow-person/gnome. Guess who gets to be goblin chow...... WoW also destroys my real world social life by kidnapping my friends and grafting two-way headsets to their craniums. I'ld much rather play the hero, even if it makes my isolationist videogaming tendancys a little more lonely. How I play 1. I've been playing around with some party builds, focusing more on backstory than power. The party I most recently finished a1 with was a 3 person barbarian party, exiles from a remote villiage who refused to submit to empirical authority: one berserker, an archer (the hunter, not the empire soldier), and a hedge wizard. This means I needed to find some one with tool skills quick. 2. I've only attempted a singleton once. But judging from what some have shared here in regards to singleton strategy, It seems unrealistic to me. Even if putting my character next to the bottomless pit means that I can only be attacked by a few enemies. If I were really in that situation, I could easily be thrown/pushed into said pit. 3. I used to use the editor all the time, but I've been weening myself off of it lately. Its so much more fun to actually think about what I'm doing than just make some uber1337 gods. Anyways, thats why and how I play my avernum games.

I'm playing nethergate rez. v1.0.1b for windows. I'm running it on a toshiba satellite with windows XP. some times, I'll load my game and it will sort of revert to a previous saved game. It will say that I've saved my game in the dialogue box, and then once I reload my game (dang basilisks...) Its not where I've saved last. Is this a frequent problem?
