Merteuil

Don't really want to make topic after topic for every question I have, so I'm just going to use this. How do I get past the force field things? The Matt P guide suggests only Romans can but for some reason that seems unlike?

Ah, I just realized I had that spell after starting over and make some custom characters. Which is going fantastically, and it's a lot more fun killing these goblins when I can loot all the things. Also just got Beast Ceremony, which is lovely in ways I don't fully comprehend. Also discovered I can actually use lamps. Very important.

I didn't start in Might and Magic until the Mandate of Heaven and by that point there was always some sort of give-away regarding secret tunnels. Regardless I suppose I can make an effort of sort with the head-banging, it seems the information on this forum for Nethergate is a lot less than for the other games here. Lastly, what is that spell called?

It is indeed relevant, thank you. A for the initial method, that sounds horrible, terribly horrible and frightening Are their more efficient methods? Spells I can cast or maps i can look at?

So I just started playing Nether Resurrection and I'm playing as Celts and approximately halfway through the goblin fort at the begging of the game. I'm noticing the Matt P guide references a lot of hidden tunnels and the such that I can't seem to find. Some of them have what the guide suggest are really important items for me to have (i.e. the second sylak key), among simple gear that I definitely want. What should I be doing to find all these tunnels?

Thank you all for the advice . I've more or less concluded based on things everyone has said, the poll, and how I already felt to do something like this. 1) Nethergate: Ressurection 2) The First Avernum Trilogy 3) Geneforge Saga 4) The Second Avernum Trilogy 5) Avadon 6) New Remakes of First Avernum Trilogy. Of course all this is assuming I keep interested and keep having the money to spare and new releases don't muck up the order of the last few items As of now I'm going to go ahead and download the Nethergate Demo, any advice on which side I should pick for my first play-through?

I'm not sure that this is the right place for an Introduction, but I didn't see anywhere better sooo, Hello. I'm Merteuil, if you know the origination of the name I'm just a big fan of Dangerous Liaisons and cunning dudes (or in this case dudettes). Anywho, if this isn't the right place for an introduction I luckily have something else that I'm here to ask. I'm getting ready to buy something spidweb related and I'm not sure where I should start. I know Exile is off the list completely and utterly. It won't work on my machine without a emulator for older OS's and doesn't look terribly fun to my spoiled on new-age technology self. Same reasoning applies to the original Nethergate. Now from here I'm looking at the re-makes of these first two games and seem like good choices. With Avernum however having garnered a second re-make and possible the entire first trilogy a second re-make, I'm not sure I want to invest in it before that happens. If all 3 will be re-made rather soon I'm confident I don't want to invest in them before that happens unless they are so worth playing un-remade. A possibility I acknowledge unlike with the Exile trilogy. Furthermore I have similar sentiments with the Nethergate remake, if it's to be re-made again, my decision might be affected. Starting with Avernum 4 is a consideration but a small one, I don't want to miss any neat little references. Now looking at Geneforge I can't see any particular reason not to start here like with the other games unless I should definitely catch up with the first Avernum trilogy before the newest remakes come out. This is more in the territory of me deciding based on what you guys say. It definitely looks like the better series though. Lastly Avadon, again I see no reason not to start here and it would give me time to see what happens with the Avernum re-makes. That was a lot and clearly I've been thinking about this waaaaaaay too much. It's not a matter of entertainment budget being tight, not that it isn't, but I'm just kinda nutty. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated and of course I'll appreciate any responses to the poll I made.Thank you, and thanks even more for reading this little ramble.
