Death Knight

I just finally finished the scenario. Im hoping to try a different party this time with a better starter scenario. Would anyone recommend a good beginner scenario thats mostly combat oriented? Im glad that i can at least choose this time. Anything that is far away from vodt.

Really? I remember that it saved numerous amounts of time and loads with what i did play of avernum 1. Getting to the boss faster is very important as mages have a tendency of always getting the better of you.

Well i mean assassination either works by how far ahead you are of your opponents-equals more damage, or you get more damage to lower opponents based on your skill with assassination. Im not sure, just want to find out anything i can about it, its really an interesting skill.

I know. What happens is i cant find something. When i cant find it i get frustrated. I look for the thing 5 times, it progresses. From then on, i second guess myself. And thats when i try and rush things.

Like right now. Im finally at the control room and it says that i cant destroy the controls, and cant deactivate either. Im not usually used to this much thinking in many games i play. Usually i like things straightforward and hard with combat. When it comes to thinking about going here, and backtracking here, it makes me lose my mind. The only reason i want to beat this scenario is because it has become almost a necessity to not give up. Not because i want to get farther. I messed up my rogue character and he needs to get deleted.

The only thing i hope is that the other downloadable scenarios are not all like this. Something simple is all i ask

Alright im losing patience again. It says in that above strategy guide to just get one of the 3 books. Every book i pull onto there, the machine destroys. What kind of book do you need, it wasnt at all specified.

Edit: Just found brand new textbook. the robot is dead.

I would like to get the numbers on the assassination skill. Does anyone have the exact benefits for getting it high. Might want to try and make a character that rises above almost every creatures level, to the point where he is essentially just a tiny tank slaying everything by experience. Can anyone give me the numbers that you get from assassination skill.

I was bullied quite a lot throughout highschool. Public schools are brutal. However, i will note what worked for me-I would usually deal with it for 4 months, then finally i would threaten to murder the kid's family when it got too far. After that, no one messed with me. Once you realize that mostly all people that act tough are cowards, things get easier for the most part. And in case they tell you to behave, pacifism doesnt work. Standing up for yourself does. Dont get punished because society's laws are fake.

Many thanks niemand!! It would have taken me forever without that. Sorry, i must be the worst player here

I have no idea what you mean. I cant use the stone as a special ability. I have no special abilities.

Alright ive been to the libraries but there is no key and no bookshelves, just forcefields. How do you open the forcefields?

Thanks randomizer. The only real concern i have though is whether or not i have the papers from the old man. He keeps on saying that he'll sell them to me, even though i did his quest. The waste facility is already done but i cant get past the computer controls. It says that something needs to be activated elsewhere.

Ok im in a bit of a bind. It seems that im not sure what i really have with regards to what i need to solve the curse. Ive got a few questions as everything is a bit unclear.

1-The stone that they say you need is from the spiders right? Because i have a stone that i used to open the school's doors.

2-It seems that i am unsure whether i have the papers from the grumpy old man. I did his quest but the aliens talk to me like i dont have them, when i do.

3-I am totally confused as to where i should be going. The area of the school is huge and taxes numerous amounts of torches and lamps. If anyone can point me in a partial direction as to where to go to stop this. Im thinking that the waste dump is the place to go when i have all 3. I should have taken notes.

So if they do not, what other things are there for ranged users?

Oh and just to clarify things-Do ranged weapons like bows/throwing work with the assassination skill. I dont see why not as melee is almost completely favored.

So anatomy deals more damage to humans per point?

Ok will do. Im still experimenting with some skills. I just got anatomy to 2 and am wondering if it will say anything like assassination does when it works. Do the other skills (lethal blow, anatomy) show up as a special damage modifier when it works. I'd like to get the numbers you get when using anatomy and the others as it would help on what i get from it.

Im in a bit of a jam. I got to the end of scenario vodt (1st scenario) and i open a book and supposedly it is an ambush and i go up against an impossible shade opponent that summons monsters that are way way way harder than my party can manage. Is that the end? Im not sure really what to do. Ive been hacking through gremlins and the whole place seems to look very similar. Has anyone else had this problem or is there supposed to be another ending.

I was thinking of playing with maybe 1 or 2 creations at most and relying on myself for rest. I wanted to level up a low party and power through the game.

Im thinking of trying a new class possibly in g4. I have however, never played as either the servile and shocktrooper or the other 3 original identical shaper classes. Is there any difference between the agent and the infiltrator and warrior/guardian for that example in this game and previous.

I want to play as a shaping/missile or melee character. The past games relied on magic for me and this time i want to give it a go with a warrior or shocktrooper. The only problem is i cant decide which. I only want to take a monster from the ground and power them up through the game and rely on me for the rest. I read the posts and this is not a good idea. Should i play the warrior or shocktrooper?

Im looking for something along the lines where you can fight a lot of human/humanoid opponents. I have a decent anatomy skill and want to get something out of it.

Ive almost finished valley of dying things and was interested in finding a cool scenario to start once im done. I was interested in a scenario that has a party-based fight like the good old ones from baldurs gate series. What i mean is your party having a face-off with another evil or bad guy party. Its been a while since ive experienced one of those and was just wondering if there were any.

Its very surprising that jeff almost went bankrupt from making boa. I found it alot of fun and moreso for me than a1. What makes it cool is that everyone else still makes scenarios for it which is unique as the game is a lot older than the other games.

1-Cool! Ive been playing boa a bit. Its really cool, although the first adventure-valley of dying things isnt my fav. So you are saying that you can take any group into any bring it into any adventure. Thats pretty epic. Are there any scenarios that you can play or download where there are a lot of assassins/bounty hunters? (like a5)

2-By the way, has jeff ever thought of taking this almost flawless idea and putting it into geneforge series. Ive played and beaten g1 and I think if he ever wanted to do anything with geneforge series without actually expanding, he would do something like this but with creations. If he did it, it'd be quite a bit of fun

Ok, will do. Im lvl 6 right now and am trying to get an area effect spell for my mage to help with problems like this. Im also trying to get anatomy for my rogue/partpriest fighter. Some of the higher level bandits that spawn are tough and ive never actually used anatomy on almost any of the avernum games.

Ive gotten up to level 6 with my party on the 1st scenario, valley of dead things. Im having some minor trouble with the beetle that summons monsters on the holding cells and spider level. Is there any trick to defeating monsters like that, they keep summoning bugs.
