Spell stuff in BoA in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, May 4 2003 06:47 Profile #24 I could never work out how to get Symbiosis or Mindduel to work. And I'm sure there's a way to get invulnerability from a spell, but I think it's Arcane Shield and therefore totally unrelated. Posts: 316 \| Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00

Houses consist of two rooms, one of which is always L-shaped and neither of which is a toilet (a bad thing when you're absolutely bursting!) 46. Everyone either has something useful to say or doesn't talk to you. 47. Upon dying, people leave small bloodstains and items of clothing or weaponry, but never a body. 48. Sticks and rocks found on the ground can kill the most heavily armoured warriors (even if they have to take a bit of punishment first) 49. If you hurt someone, a number will fly from their head, acommpanied by three circles of blood which are always in the same place, no matter where you hurt them. 50. Evil dungeons filled with undead spirits are found everywhere. 51. Trumpets will always annouce your entry into a town. 52. Maps can magically fill in blank spaces just because you've been there. 53. No matter how big or small you are, or whether you have a tail of any form or not, the same equipment fits everyone, i.e. helmets or body armour from giants fits puny little humans and pants made for humans (with no tail) fit lizard men easily (with a large tail). One size fits, quite literally, all! -------------------- ~ørangutan I want high-bit characters in my displayed name!!! :( :( :( (Or at least an exclamtion point!) Eat pie! BADGER!

What feature that the Avernum series lacked would you most like to see in BoA? in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, April 10 2003 08:21 Profile #2 I'd like to see text responses like in E2, E3 and BoE. If you've ever played E3 in that spiral crypt on the Isle of Bigail then tried it in A3, then you'll find that instead of typing in the answer to the riddle you get it given to you as one of the default responses: "1. I don't know 2. I think it's ........... 3. I think it's ..........." which is pretty boring in comparison. Posts: 316 \| Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00

What will scripts actually look like? in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, April 5 2003 08:25 Profile #12 Or perhaps just a script database, which I'm sure brett would snap up the duty of doing immediately (seeing how he's just volunteered to do this hypothetical contest :P ).

A cool, random, and totally pointless idea (will it work?) in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, April 3 2003 10:06 Profile #0 I just thought, how about having different modes of transport. Like, instead of horses you could have bikes (with their own graphic and everything). If you could do that kind of thing it would be cool. Also, would you be able to check to see if the party are riding them and/or stop them from getting off? If so, you could extend it to say, for instance, snowboards, and the party can't take them off until they're at the bottom, and must have them on to go down. Now that would be cool!

finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Thursday, April 3 2003 10:00 Profile #7 quote: Originally posted by Namothil: However, I think Jeff has said that you won't need to do anything with scripts to make a scenario. (It would still help to be able to use them.) Does that mean that we can use an editor like the boe one but better or that we get special scripts like that door one and place them down everywhere and just edit the text (e.g. placing a one-time message only requires us to place a one-time message script)? Of course, if we couldn't design new scripts it would make for a pretty crappy scenario :P . (surely someone must have understood that...) Maybe when it comes out we could have a script-designing contest! That'd be cool :) !

BoA Graphics Database Questions in Blades of Avernum

Some Other Things About BoA in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, February 23 2003 03:18 Profile #68 NPCs being able to join the party is [i]excellent[/i]!! But I just have one little comment to make about PC storage areas - that in A3 you could only store four characters at once. I know there probably isn't a need for more than that, but when you come to have 4 PCs that you created and 3 NPCs, then you want to add the 4th NPC, you can't get her then go back to a storage area and put her in it because all four slots are taken. So a good idea would be to make it so that you can swap a character in your party for one in the storage area, instead of being told that it is full. I hope at least someone understood that... Also with dropping items, does anyone remember in BoE, in the Valley of Dying Things (probably not, but hey?), there was a part in the library where you had to drop a book onto a pedestal. If VoDT is being converted to BoA, then how is this going to work? Dropping it on a rug just isn't the same...

Couple of Questions about BoA in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Sunday, February 23 2003 02:19 Profile #3 quote: Originally posted by Alorael: —Alorael, who supposes one could, with some work, even come up with a scenario that takes place in a futuristic setting. Such large departures from the Avernum setting would be difficult, but they will (probably) be possible. Probably even more possible than it was in BoE, perhaps even probable!

BoA Graphics Database Questions in Blades of Avernum

BoA Graphics Database Questions in Blades of Avernum
finlay Shock Trooper Member # 1207	written Saturday, February 22 2003 10:14 Profile #16 Cool site. It'll be so much better when it's got more graphics on it. By the way, maybe I'm just stupid, but why start with graphics now, when they haven't even set a date for BoA's release yet (or have they??). Posts: 316 \| Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00
