In fact, two of the ingredients are already in the alembic when you get there.

You ate all of the Larvae? Getting nauseated once wasn't enough for you? :) There are 15 or 16 Larvae to be found around the world (not all of them in the caves). The portal room near the Giant village should have one active portal when you first find it. The others take work to activate. You can qu...

I actually saw it reviewed in either MacWorld or MacLife (I don't recall which at the moment). It looked like the kind of games that I enjoy, and that proved to be correct.

That's interesting, Dr. G.

Were either of the gates to the cell opened already when you got there? Sometimes the archers can also shoot through windows, but that's very odd.

He always ambushes me on the way to Vela. Then I kick Mercenary butt.

I've had the Taurex kill the brother before (watching him splat is actually kind of cool). In any event, it can only happen if you have opened the gate to the jail room before all of the enemies are dead. I've never seen any of the NPCs throw a lever to open a gate, though they seem to have no troub...

In a game where I did a lot of "rerolling" and sold a lot of Cure Greater Disease potions (very profitable), I got over 40,000, but then I got bored and just killed everything.

No, I meant we'll all find out together. We have another engine (it's true 3D, but mechanically it functions like an advanced Dungeon Master / Eye of the Beholder first-person engine) that we've been working with for quite some time. We have a storyline, some game mechanics in place, and even a tit...

I'm intrigued BasiliskWrangler... how will we be finding out? Is there something in the works in parallel to Book 2? :) I think BW meant we'd see by the kinds of responses received here. I'm intrigued by a SciFi RPG. Historically it's been a difficult thing to get right. I have a cousin who's one o...

We have enough "wish requests" to fill the next 10-12 months with 16 hour workdays.

You're only working sixteen hours a day? Many of us won't be sleeping, why should you?

You can find or buy Evil Amulets. They add +2 or +3 to your damage, if I recall correctly. I usually just sell them. There's one to be found in the caves, if you don't mind disturbing a WHOLE LOTTA bloodsippers.

BW - You may want to mark this as a spoiler. Outside the room with the portcullises, there are switches. They can be thrown by physically standing next to them, or from a distance by throwing something at them or shooting them. They disable the portcullises from dropping on your head. I hope that he...

It depends what I'm doing, but for most purposes Black Water is my first go-to point. When I'm feeling lazy (and have a character with the portal spell) I set a portal for that little well Dragonlady likes. Fabulously refreshing.

Dragonlady,

I'm surprised that the FEMALE character didn't jump out at you. I saw it and immediately thought you'd be happy.

The screenshots look fabulous. Now to set my patience meter to one year.

I am not going to give away all the secrets I know, but one thing that I haven't ever seen mentioned by others is that there are a few gems hidden in Whistling Cave. You need to have a decent "Spot Hidden" skill, and then comb the edges of the cave. There are a few quality gems to be foun...
