Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I just finished A4! *crowd roars* And I'd like to request a few spoilerific answers. 1. Who are you supposed to show the cracked shard to? The one that you find in the chamber that made the shades. I talked to a lot of people after I found it but couldn't find someone to tell me what it was. 2. Is it possible to kill all of the shades? I gather from the quests given that the hatred shade can be killed. (Most likely after finding the person in question 1) But can the other two be killed also? 3. Is there more than one ending based upon choices made? 4. Does anyone else feel slighted by the 30000 gold cap? I mean really, that's been there since Exile 1 and I hated it then.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 1. Show the shard to Rone or Correlea. 2. Yep, giving the shard to the right people gets you the gear to kill all three shades, which coincidentally makes the last fight slightly harder. 3. You get the same ending, but the text changes slightly depending on what you do with Rentar, the shades, and Dorikas. 4. There's always something to spend it on. —Alorael, whose personal favorite is those wonderful but expensive skills. You know, useless ones. Maxed melee for the mages!

Garrulous Glaahk ArchMage81 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I killed all the shades, i even have a save before each shade kill so i can kill them over and over.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hmmm... thought I talked to both of them after I got it. I'll have to go back to a save and try it out again. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Khyryk Eye Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 I try to pick up as much stuff as I can and sell them throughout the game, but still run short of money in the end. How did you save up so much? For the ending, will Dorikas elude you whatever you do? has anyone been able to kill him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 It depends upon how much you want to spend on spells and training. Dorikas' escape is scripted so he could return as the main villian in Avernum 5 (just released this week). Now you get a chance to make up for your Avernum 4 frustrations at his cowardly retreat.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 I just went for a long stretch without buying spells or skills. When I noticed that I was selling things and not gaining anymore money I stopped and sought out the spell/skill sellers and used almost all of it. My frustration is that I don't know how much I wasted before noticing. I'd be happy with a message warning saying I can carry no more gold. But having it dissapear into nothingness... It just vexes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
