Mosquito---Slayer

Yep, go to the tower of magi and get some good spells, if you stole those dragon skin gloves in formello you can also get the dread curse removed, You should be able to do parts of spiral, I'm not sure how well a singleton will handle the sliths right now,with my two player party I had a lot of problems and often survived only due to the huge dexterity of my archer, but still you can try them.

the forum looks better from outside, the posts however look disappointing(or maybe I'm just getting used to them.)

One thing that's not really related to art but goes in favor of simple+few graphics is the file size, SW has seen something of an exponential growth in this category, This wouldn't bother me too much since the size is still reasonable, but the problem is probably that there hasn't been any similar upgrade in the looks (A1 looks about as pretty as A5 and the games beyond that I found to be trying a bit too hard to look good) but still A:eftp and Avadon do show little but noticeable improvements.

Dunno why, but that made me imagine a Rottie doing the Gangnam style, I'm almost tempted to make a poll about which creation is the best Dancer.

I have two remarkably stupid questions:- 1. What does the 36 hour phase actually mean? 2.Once I've given the commands I can see two buttons, save and ready, I'm guessing the save is the way to finalise and order whatever I commanded, but what does the ready button do? EDIT: also, out of the bottom five buttons, what does extend do?, extend the game? EDIT again: found out the second question.

And you still find time for more and more A:eftp walkthroughs.

I agree with every single line you have written, born in a family where it is considered a sin to kill even an ant and where plants are worshiped I must make it clear that I respect nature very much, however respecting it or not was never my point, what I wished to say was that there is no particular reason as to why we should leave the deserts in pristine natural conditions while we go on destroying the other types of ecosystems. Let's say we don't use solar energy, but we still need to produce energy from somewhere, which unfortunately as our means of energy production go is going to pollute/violate some part of nature, if the solar energy could do so with lesser pollution, It will be preferable. Also about the anthropocentric viewpoint, I will have to say it's not all black and white, It's all very well in theory to look at animals and humans being the same, but allow me to ask a simple hypothetical question, If given an option to save either a human or an animal from sure death, which one will I or you choose?

Well, so do forests, oceans and other ecosystems, and in all probability to a much larger group of organisms, that hasn't stopped humans from exploiting these areas for economic purposes, So honestly I don't think that's enough of a reason/use really. That's probably true, but the fact is that they are expanding by one means or another, and that currently they provide very little economic benefits , which means more pressure on other ecosystems, so I guess it's better if we find some use for them fast rather than destroying the other systems. I in general agree with what you are saying but as said before I don't think they are strong enough counters.

uhh, what does a desert do that's useful apart from expanding and converting more land to desert?

I'm personally prefer solar technology, it has none of the risks of nuclear and is very clean, the cells currently used are obviously very inefficient in conversion but one can expect that to get better with time, It's also a great way for utilisation of the huge amounts of land in deserts that's currently going to waste. (whatever way you go, it seems that Australians are going to bath in energy in future. ) Edit: kind of sniped.

Vlishes are basically balloons, you can't have a ton of them, even if you made like 20. But yeah I mostly agree, 3 rotties is probably overkil, but I'd be happy with one or two on my next playthrough.

10 might be too much.

One thing that goes for the Vlish is that they are a missile creation, so at times they may offer more strategic options.

I will second that, it's like the most important bow in the whole of second trilogy, and you haven't made a normal bow yet.

I am not sure but I will put my money on less than spellcraft, there wouldn't be much of a reason to increase spellcraft otherwise.

I'm pretty sure they do, we just kill them before that. There were I remember a few such quests in Avernum 4 and people complained about them, since then as Jerakeen said it's been better.

I and the fluffy turtles bow before thee, also as a reward you are allowed to enter this place without leaving your sanity outside.

I always open this topic with a lot of hope to find something about the release date of of Avadon, I end up finding discussion about crypts in Avernum.

The Alien blade is great, I think it's even better than Demon slayer, I'm not sure about Jade Halberd though. (BTW did anyone knew that chimps and Orangutans use spears.)

I was forced to turn the difficulty down from torment to hard when doing that first Drake(drayk?) quest, so yeah there's a quite noticeable difference, you shouldn't have much problem with a well designed party though.

At least you didn't say Draco.

Oh, It happens a lot with me too, the spell checker tells me the that the spelling I have used is wrong, and I don't know the correct spelling either(and additionally I'm feeling too lazy to look up for the right spelling, generally because the meaning is clear), then I just don't bother and go ahead with the wrong spelling. (although I've never been polite enough to say sorry for that, generally I just hope that people won't notice it. )

I would say that as far as humans are concerned there is little difference between duck eggs and evil slith eggs, If anything the motivation to smash the sliths would be higher as the ducks won't grow up to be of the people killing variety. (well, at least normal ducks, rats can kill humans easily in Avernum, so I guess ducks could be tough too.)

It's Jeff's game if he wants it to have things he will do so, btw I think there was this crypt north of formello, which is said to be very old, The game will be just like an extended version of Avernum 2, chapter 2, which was like super cool.
