Gfted1

@kgambit: Thanks for the information. I didn't realize how much happened between those two series.

Don't do the crime if you cant do the time.

Ah, now I get it, and agree. I think what alarms me most is the shock to my system. To me, the US is V2.0 of England. They are the basis for most our laws and how our society is set up. To see what I consider major violations of citizens rights (and this is coming from the guy that has no problem with their public camera system) greatly surprises me since this is England were talking about.

Whaaaa? I did not know that about the Healing spell! At least now I know the best time to use it.

What is this? Also, has anyone found any Healing spells above level I? Im Healing for like 5-7 damage at this point in the game. Its sad.

If that means that those convicted of sex based crimes are forced to be on a Pervert Watch List, then I approve. Im not opposed to convicted criminals losing rights, but every single citizen? Way overboard imo.

Death #2, a poorly aimed fireball takes out Coyote. Restart level. Im glad the game is somewhat easy, starting the entire level over makes Gfted1 smash!

Every race being able to do everything equally well is terrible design imo. May as well remove all races except one since they would be nothing more than a different color/shape.

What a terrifying law. I wonder what will be next on the list to prevent to protect the UK citizens from. And Im absolutely sure that calling your ISP and removing the filter will flag you for something.

Hmm, I never picked up the Chaos War saga after the Rift War saga. How would you say the two compare? God I loved the parts with Thomas(?) and how his magical chainmail was a repository of power from a long dead highly magical race. Hmm, now Im talking myself into re-reading that whole series again...but I still have WoT to catch up on. Decisions...

None that Im aware of. I found it on the internet back in 2004 and have never changed it.

I would never do such a thing! Good day SIR!

Just in case you didn't figure it out yet, you have to cycle through the Riggers weapons until you get to their bots. Then you will see an "on" switch which disengages the bot from follow mode and puts it into free attack mode. Beware, each active bot uses one of the Riggers AP points to function so in the early game before you get 3 AP, its possible to have both bots active and your Rigger just standing there. Be sure to stash him around a corner or something so he/she isn't a sitting duck.

With the mage, pumping Willpower and whatever is the choice directly below Willpower, will increase your spell slots. Maybe similar for Adept?

1) I want fast travel portals on every floor so I don't have to hump up 15 levels to rest. 2) Epic loot and don't be shy dishing it out. Preferably including some item that allows travel from where I was, back to town, then back to where I was. Think D3's portal. This is a carryable item and is different from the static fast travel portals described above. Also should include some mysterious gizmo that allows healing without resting. 3) Megaboss on the last floor. 4) Maybe some puzzles but nothing I have to lookup the answer too. 5) A lever on the first floor that enables kill XP.

Im 11 hours in and have two quests backed up: Its a pretty good game and (knock on wood) I haven't run into any glitches. My elf mage is decked out with the best gear and spells money can buy and Ive only died once, however I don't remember ever selecting a difficulty level. Max Body and Willpower. The story is on rails and it seems impossible to screw it up. Very much worth my modest investment.

Hell yeah! Im glad Obsidian is selling me the strategy guide to totally non-degeneratively play this game.

The 8 pre-made companions will have personalities written by Obsidian. The 8 hired adventurers will be soulless automatons that players roll up in the Adventurers Hall.

Because in the event of no witnesses, if someone kills someone and can convince others that it was indeed an act of self-defense, SYG applies. And of course the evidence has to support them.

That may be a little tougher to pull off. In that example, I could easily see both spells resulting in say 6D6 fire damage, but having a different visual spell effect. I kind of share the same concern over Ciphers. How do you uniquely represent their capabilities? Lets say there is a spell called Mind Spike. Is it just going to be a renamed Hold Person? I don't envy the developers trying to come up with unique capabilities.

This post contains a post from Sawyer that states "Currently, spells are entirely unique to each class." Its unlinked so I don't know where it originated or if its true.

Awesome. Thanks.

Spoil me:

Im curious, why do you want to be able to enter turn based mode outside of combat?
