Make sure that in your creatures editing box, the script defined is basicnpc, or even better, leave it blank. Then make sure that basicnpc.txt is in your scenario folder.

Otherwise, it does it say which state it can't run?

This seems the right place for it...

How much more is there to explore once you've reached the Shareware Barrier? I'm pretty good with the geography of Avernum, and it seems there's a lot more, from what I know, but that map looks pretty small...

Would you focus the skill on a mage, for Unlock Doors, or over two?

I'm used to Tool Use not affecting Unlock, and gave my Nephil archer having around 12-13 points, before realising.

Is it time to start again?

I just never appreciated it. I played and played it, and ached for Avernum. The Nethergate/Avernum engine is far better... It just IS.

And as for all the scenarios... sure, they are good. Brilliant, in fact, in some instances (Emulations for one), but when you're grappling with the system, then you kinda lose some of that enjoyment.

I'd rate it 9.9, for much the same reasons as Kel.

You have to make them yourself. The script needs to be in this format:

(name of town script)dlg.txt

For example, in my scenario, there is a town called Fort Bluebird. The townscript is:

FortBlubeird.txt

So the dialogue script is called:

FortBluebirddlg.txt

I presume you know how to format the scripts?

I have short hair now! And no hat! Sheesh.

Still, good work Slarty. Made me chuckle.

And Nico: I don't like blood, but I don't dislike it.

Oh, and one more thing... Me and Aran? Duelling? I make comments about him, and he ignores them. We don't fight...

It's big. Pretty to look at. Plot let's it down a lot, but this baby was my favourite game for a long time. It's Exile 3, but better.

Exile 2: Crystal Souls - 9.03 (10.0/6.5) in General
Shaper
Member # 3442

8.8

It wasn't the first Exile I played, but it was the one I enjoyed most of all. Dark Waters was amazing, especially with Exile's food management system.

I can't add anything that other players haven't in terms of positives, but negatively, the interface sucked. And after playing Nethergate/Avernum, the combat engine is woeful.

Hence, my score is sorta retrospective. A year or two ago, I might have given it 9.4, but it hasn't aged well.

That way works fine.

So, taking the new scores into account, what's the average?

And for Av3, I'd raise my rating...by a point to 9. It's better looking, has more quests, and the combat is so much better.
