I'll start posting again, that'll kickstart this place. Get ready!!!

I feel you. I'm playing Torment more out of spite than enjoyment at this point. It might be time to just lower the difficulty. Jeff really dropped the ball on lowering the hit rate, imo. There is a reason games like World of Warcraft have totally abandoned hit rating for a flat level rate--- it sucks when you have an 87% chance of hitting something but miss three times in a row. I'm still playing though, so clearly Jeff got more than a few things right!

Interestingly enough, I encountered the same thing when getting into a fight with some Sliths next to Dranlon:

Just an FYI, I think this only works if you are near said wandering monsters. It's so you dont come out of battle weakened w/ no mana and have another battle right away. Haven't tested how far it works, but I guess I coulda just waited by the Nephil shrine till I found a random battle and sailed back.

I've been moving my boat around for a while, and the other coast also has some goblins blocking it, but I went all the way to the spiders, chatted for a bit, came back and.... I'll have to wait to despawn them--- unfortunately the barriers are still up (fresh game) but I do appreciate the advice!

While not really a bug per se... this is some BS, lol: Sorry Solberg, looks like I won't be visiting you

First Avernum game where I have to redo my party. I can probably power my way through, but it just won't be fun. My Slith tank actually is fine (If things get too tough, he throws on his shield) but everyone else is just f'd.

This is torment in a nutshell

I left those poor Vahnatai to die, tho. Beyond that and optimizing my party though, the dialogue is getting too me. Too many characters just absolutely [censored] on the lizards and cats and the only change in dialogue is the guy saying "uhhh no offense" to the ones you have in your party. It just seems like it was written to have a group of humans in it.

Sigh... to cheat or to start over or to forgetaboutit... the struggle is real...

Kyass being added in was the real tragedy.

Can you go back to the river area between Formello and the Vahnatai land? If not, I may restart with an all-human party.

Im really struggling. Serves me right for making a Slith tank and a Kitty priest though.

Man, this game would be a lot easier if the monsters these magical creatures summon weren't infinitely stronger than the summoner...

I know, right?

Welp, stopped reading here. Good luck in whatever universe you are playing Avernum in. Is there any advantage of using a shortbow over a long bow?There are some expensive shortbows that are put to shame by a long bow that has a value of 50...

That 15 health, 2% resistance, 15% hit chance and 3 damage is huge in torment.

By level 30, my Human will have 3 more Strength and 3 more Endurance.then my Slith

I almost restarted my team and made an all-human team. Very bizarre.

Humans are immensely overpowered compared to the Sliths and Kittis. That was not well thought out.

Coming out of lurking to give you props, good sir.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread-- but could someone explain to me (or PM me) the alteration to the script that would make this available without the trigger? I got the 45 prestige, so that ain't the issue, and I don't know what the "gf(66,18) == 0;" requirement is in the script (and learning exactly how it all works would kind of be a bummer just for one quick change). At this point, I've completely nearly everything else there is to do... Edit: Forget it. Apparently that event is linked to talking to Aydin, which I had put off until I could talk to the statues. Talked to Ayden and got him to teach me the rituals and then I got the statue dialogue from Erika. Awkwarddddd.

This is the second damn bug I've encountered and had to restart. That's a few too many hours wasted to continue this game... Never had any issue with Jeff's games before, pretty disappointing. edit: on the other hand, used a purge crystal on the barrier in the Spiral Pit and there's still treasure in it. So I don't know. My junk bag has filled up with twenty thousand "unused" sword icons twice, so I may still put down the game.

Is this... is this a bug? I've opened two magic barriers in the game, went to loot the chest behind the barrier, and bang, nothing there. The last one was in Fort Avernum, the barrier in the left storage room. Is that supposed to be empty? Because... that'd be kinda harsh.

FnordCola: I guess you didn't like Nethergate =)
