You're at the area after nifelheim with all the yetis?
Get the invisibility spell by going past the trees south east of the starting position, then 'sneak' to the door, load full fire and spray a circle outside the door

Piracy; (1 2 3) is the same thing. 5
Lending; 4 9 10 11
Sharing; 6, (7 8) is the same thing.

And unlike libraries, if you get a game off the used-game market, you are almost guaranteed not to buy it from the original publisher.  Sequels maybe, but still.
Libraries purchase the book once, from the original publisher, then lend it to a lot of people.
Someone purchase the game once, from the original publisher, then sells it to someone else.
In both cases, revenue was gained once, so what is the difference?

so... 1/3 of your post is about resale and the rest is about lending.
Games is a form of entertainment, just like books, movies, music. They all is displayed in, and generate venue in different forms.

In response to 1/3 of it;
You have bought an item and can rightfully sell it to someone else because you will no longer be able to use the item as you no longer have it in your possession.
And what kind of resale is illegitimate? You either resell it or you do not, Is there some other way that I cannot think of?

In response to the rest;
Lend your friend a book, they read it and might never read it again.
Lend your friend a game, they play it and might never play it again.
The first have a governmental institute built upon, lending books to people.
The second you say should be illegal.
What is the difference?

I was going to start another round of this with the expansion but got bogged down in the swamp that is the mod forums, so now I plead of one of you natives to kindly give me a tour of the things that is noteworthy

Or put it simply, modlist plixplox, and I drooled over the Xtended mod so I will get that.

Personally, I was kinda burnt out before this happened so I will take a break now that it occurred.

Where can i find other towns than the starting town? I've been to rust wells & grit gate but I haven't seen anything other than hostiles there(that I quickly dispatch with my mind).

Was that a sniper x sniper battle? Cause you know, he was probably wearing anti-ranged armor. What you wear does matter, but doesn't mean you cannot do well either.
I realize this. But with levels comes items that you cannot afford(or use) at level 30 so my argument still stands, lvl 29 pvp is the best unless you grind away.
And its more likely its full hp gear, as its better overall and the difference is negligible.

As for Ivefan said, you can be level 1 with basic shitty weapons and stats and still own a level 50. Granted, it will be harder (and you can't really have that scenario, but it's valid for 30 vs 50 comparison), but in the end, if you have the skills to, you can do it.
Yes. I played sniper and did fairly well. Its just that when the opponent takes 4 shots to kill while he kills me in 2 shots, It just aint that fun anymore and i dont feel like grinding twice or trice as much XP that i already have just to be competitive in this kind of game.
Okay, so he spent more time on the character than me and i can accept that. But there is no reason to have the last 20 levels in the first place.

The pve missions are repetitive after you played them a few times but i guess they could be fun with friends.
Up to lvl 30 is gettin new toys and skill points, making lvl 30 the most fun to play in PvP(merc)
Past 30 is getting owned by lvl 50 that has a lot better toys than you and grinding to 50 is dull.
There is also open world questing that is played through quite fast which you only do for exp.

Uh. month ago perhaps?

Combat sucks? AC has the single best combat model in all Civesque games.
I didnt say that Civ games had good combat.
I simply dislike the combat in those games

You guys almost makes me want to play this again, even though i had my fill recently.
Its interesting though. This game is the same as the Civ games, which i dislike, but I still love it.
Story/plot, all the quotes, terraforming and colony management pleases me(combat sucks).

Raise Dead is like, the best spell ever. And of course there is no limit to how many times you can cast it, or how many zombies there can be active.
raise dead is good for decoys. elementals will atleast do damage, and you can use lightning to kill enemies while healing the elementals if they are of that element.
The best spell is vortex, as long as you don't fuck up and walk into it yourself.

-snip-
best tactic for what?
simply lightning without wet enemies are rather poor mostly due to range but the damage is also rather low i comparison to other things.
Multiple weak enemies in one direction - qfasas (steam lightning ray)
Multiple weak enemies spread out but near - qrqrqrqrs (arcane ice shotgun)
Any 'pushable' foe near ledge - q*5 (do this to the ones before grimnir)
Any large foe - qfasas at range.
right. qfasas made things a bit duller so throw in some other things just for fun
