Do most of you consider it cheating to use the guidebook to answer the stat-questions at the beginning of the game to gear your character in one direction or another? Like, say, answering lots of +St and +To questions for a fighter, and +Le and +Wi for a spellcaster? Or is it considered no worse than gremlin scumming? And, if it is, then how about memorizing each of the questions and their answers, respectively? :D Molach: "I like to have 200+ hp and over 5 good healin potions when I do [the fire] temple.

I don't consider it to be particularly cheating, no. The game has ways of turning it against you - early on you gain levels slower if you have very high stats, especially if they apply more to your class (eg Mana for spellcasters), so you may actually find it more difficult in the very early stages. Personally I find the question system way too tedious to bother dealing with, especially when you'll often end up with crap stats anyway, or the character will die within 15 minutes. Anyone who goes to the length of memorising the ansers is just, well, insane. I mean that in the best way possible of course ;) Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse." |

Alright, thanks Darren. The reason I ask is because for wizards and other spellcasters, it can be difficult to train Learning, and if you start out with very low Learning, it can be very problematic. The only wizard I ever won with, I used the questions to get his starting Le above 20 so he could learn from books more easily. Everything else was pretty easily trainable.

It's not cheating, its spoily. Because I suppose you could work out the meaning of all questions yourself, given enough time. I don't think this is spoily, but you can buy up skills like Learning with cash you know... |
