I'm thankful I am still living. I could've died this month, but I didn't. So yeah.

Okay, since this thread is getting personal and sensible,I just want to take this time to share something personal, okay. I haven't shared these feelings in a while, I'l try to be as appropriate as possible though, since I know this is a family rated forum.

I'm already seeing a professional actually, and I've been seeing a professional since the age of 6. They've diagnosed me a multitute of mental disorders such as Bipolar, Asperger's, Manic Depression, and ADHD. I've been taking this mental medicine for over 10 years and none of it does one good for me.

In my childhood my parents fought physically everyday, and the police had to come to our apartment several times for domestic violence reports. When I was six years old I was molested by a stranger in his apartment. In school I was constantly bullied, beat up, and hated by everyone in my class. No one wanted to be my friend and I didn't understand why. Mom and Dad eventually got a divorced, and at the age of 11 I jumped out of my mom vehicle and nearly died. Thankfully I made full recovery though. After that I spent 2 years in a group home so that I may be "rehabilitated." Those were probably the worst years of my life. When I got out, things were a bit better. I was in a new high school, and kids didn't bully anymore. But I never attempted to make friends with anyone because I was too afraid too. I just wanted to be left alone. I hated the world at the time, and I hated myself during my childhood

As of right now, things are going a little better, but still not by much. Right now I'm in the adult group home system, living off of disability below the poverty level. I'm lonely and depressed, and I have no one to turn to for support really. I tried committing suicide 3 weeks ago in an unsuccessful attempt. I've been in the mental health system my whole life, and I'll tell you to it strait. It doesn't help.

I have a psychiatrist, case manager, and therapist, and none of them aren't helping me. The mental health system has failed me, and I'm failing myself too. I don't know how I can go on living with this pain anymore. That's why I choose to fantasize. Fantasy takes what's real away from me, and hides my sorrows from me. I'm sorry, but my life is just terrible, and I just wish there was a way out of this hole I'm in. Please, if you have any advice, just even a little can help me?

I know, I probably do need to see a professional. And no, I'm not joking about this I really do have an imaginary girlfriend. No, I don't think I have schizophrenia because I don't actually see or hear her. I just pretend I'm seeing her sometimes but that's about it.

Okay, so I'm just gonna throw this out here. I've never dated or even kissed a girl, and I'm about to turn 20 years old, and it frustrates me and makes me very lonely. I was worried that I'd never get a girlfriend, so I created an imaginary girlfriend in hopes that it could fill the void. Her name is Katie, and I like to hug and kiss my pillow at night pretending that its my girlfriend. I text myself on the phone and have "her" respond back to me. I created an entire facebook page for "her" and I manage it all myself. I like to message this girl on facebook. I end up "texting" and facebooking this girl for hours on end everyday. Whenever I'm in my room alone, I'll talk to her, and pretend that I'm going on imaginary dates with her. I really love her, but sometimes I feel really sad because I know deep down inside she isn't real. But I still love her, and I love talking to her everyday. I just can't let her go now, and all the real women I used to have a crush on, I don't anymore. I can't fall in love with any other women now because I love "her." I don't know what I've done to myself. I've fallen in love with something that isn't there. Am I going insane?

Sorry for necro but I felt this was important. You forgot to add Bag of Sugar to this list.

I bought a Geneforge Saga CD sometime ago, however I lost the CD and can't find it anywhere. I don't mind buying the games again, I was just wondering if he is still selling CDs.

Thanks Edgwyn my game is now on steam Yay!

So I bought off the humble widget, they gave me a steam key. How do I use it to get the game on steam?

Just like Avernum 3 ended the Avernum series.

Yes, but Jeff made a Second Trilogy to that series too, though. Unless Jeff wants to make a Avadon 4, 5, and 6, yeah I guess it would be the last game. Nonetheless, I'm looking forward to Avadon 3, I definitely enjoyed the first two

Will Avadon 3 be the last game in this series? Just curious.

We were almost so close, lol. So nikki's post counts as post 1, that means this is

post 2

Hi everyone. So I saw this game on another forum I sometimes go on, and thought it'd be fun to try here. So the goal would be to make a certain amount of posts in a row, but if a moderator posts the counter resets. For example, this post is post 1, another member makes post 2. then someone else makes post 3, but then the moderator makes post 4, now it resets back to post 1 starting with the last moderator who posted. So here are the rules: 1.) If board members can make 10 posts in a row then the game is won. 2.) If a moderator posts, it resets back to post 1 3.) No double posting 4.) You can say anything you want inside of a post assuming it follows forum rules of course. POST 1

Jeff might retire before finishes the Geneforge series if its going to be over a decade from now.

I never known reddit to use font that tiny.

2 mages is good.

 

For the tank/warrior... focus on strength is fine, your tank will have plenty of survivability end game without pumping endurance too hard, about 20 base endurance by end game is more than plenty. Give him 7 priest spells so you can get 7 spellcraft (+3 from trainers/drake), so you can train 10 resistance. 10 resistance in combination with 10 (+3) hardiness and decent gear gives you pretty much 90% resists across the board, which is very nice for a tank to have.

 

For the priest... there's really no reason to make him an archer/priest. Priest offensive spells are far more effective than archery ever can be in this game. Any turn that your priest isn't healing/buffing, he'll be casting a priest AE damage spell like divine fire (or early in the game call the storm) rather than firing a wimpy arrow. Don't waste the points on dex. So unless you just really want to have the archery for your own enjoyment from a roleplaying standpoint or something, don't bother with it.

Thanks for the advice. Actually, I totally forgot about the priest offensive spells, lol. So, change of plans I think. Instead of Dexterity and Bows, I'll make him the main tool use/arcane lore PC. That way that other mage can be on equal footing as the other mage. Thanks!

By traning Cave Lore, you mean buying at a merchant, right? Or can you not buy Cave Lore at a merchant?

Okay, so I thought since, well, I know the first original Avernum (old) pretty well, I could try a Singleton on torment. Well, it appears I get my butt kicked and I barely made it past Fort Duvno. So, as usual I was getting frustrated and felt like throwing my keyboard across the room. So, I took a break, and then decided to play on casual. Well, it was a breeze in the beginning, but I slowly started to get weaker and weaker, before even Casual got to be a pain.. I suppose I'm just not used to this new skill tree, since I was always used to the old skill system that was used before (as in before Avadon). So really, all I can say is a can't do a singleton like I did before. Actually maybe I shouldn't do Singletons at all on Torment since I never had the patience for that anyway, even in the old avernum, lol.

So, I'm scratching the idea of a Singelton, since obviously this game has changed a lot since the old avernum. I've decided to plan my party out this way I may go ahead and play on normal difficulty for the first time, too.I did a bit of studying in Strategy Central, so I already know a bit now, thankfully. Anyway here it is:

Tank/Warrior - A pure meat shield. Will have lots of endurance and health, at a slight sacrifice of his combat skills. He job is to take damage for the party, and make sure the swarms come him while doing melee damage to kill monsters as well. My focus will mainly be surround on raising endurance but I must not forget strength so that he's not missing constantly either. I'm confident I can find the right balance. I may give him priest spells if I have the points to spare, but not sure on that one yet.

Archer/Priest - I kinda want to think of this build like a druid. Is good at healing spells while at the same time is excellent at shooting an arrow. My problem would probably finding the right balance for this one for Dexterity and Intelligence. I may also give this person some tool use as well.

Mage - Pure Mage spells essentially. High attack power, and also focused is on that Arcane Lore and Cave Lore. I want this Mage to be the one to be our main guy for tool use.

Mage - Same as the one above, but less focus on tool use.

What do you think? Is this an adequate build? Also, what is the maximum tool use, arcane lore, and cave lore you will ever need in this game?

I like the nephlim. But that's only because I'm a cat person, lol.

Okay, I re installed the game, and it turned off the character editor. This is the only way I know of that will turn it off.

There was. You deleted a certain file and it resets everything to its default settings including the character editor. That doesn't seem to be the case here. Maybe re installing it would help. I'm gonna try that.

How do I do it?

You know after thinking about it a bit further I've decided its not appropriate to post these things on public forums. Mods you can lock the thread if you want.

I wish he'd make new games rather than remakes, though. If he put all of his focus on Avadon, then he'd get the series finished in half the time. Then just be on to a new series after that. Anyone know why he likes to remake the Avernum series so much?

Guess I assumed wrongly then, lol. It seems not all vegetarians have the same opinion, which I suppose was stupid of me to think in the first place. No ones the same...

Also, we now need a poll on whether people like polls.
