Come to think of it, I disagree with Jeff on two of the things that he thinks are improvements (seamless world and lack of secret passages), so we're not as much on the same page as I thought. But these are matters of taste, I suppose. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

You separated the country from ones that were clearly sarcastic, which was why it was unclear. EDIT: Jedi hand-wave, moderator-style.

quote:Interestingly, no. Human growth hormone is already capable of making people bigger, although has side-effects. Gene therapy combined with hormone therapy has the potential to make people taller without such strong side-effects. (EDIT: By the way, it's not unprecedented to go into someone's genes and change them after a person has been born. Viruses do this all the time, and that's how immunization works.) And like Ash, I have no problem with genetic engineering in principle, but I do have concerns about safety. The possibilities involved are incredible: we may be able to cure AIDS, for instance, and develop much stronger cancer-fighting techniques. Because of the potential, we must continue researching. However, we may not see safely usable results for a long time, and, until we do, we should follow the normal standards for human testing (basically, don't do it until you have strong medical reason to believe that it is safe).

Apparently the standard was "games whose titles begin either with the word 'Geneforge' or the word 'Avernum.'" This is not chronological and omits part of the Avernum series (BoA), but eh. A1's my recommendation, although I wouldn't vote for it as the best. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

That was probably four of my personal top five "Things I Want Jeff to Re-Work For A5," so it's good to see that we're on the same page. For the record, bringing back puzzles and other non-hacking elements of play is the last one in my top five, and I think that this may end up being included within the "changes to stealth" concept that has been mentioned. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I think that, unlike Alorael, Dikiyoba has been inclined not to use pronouns in Dikiyoba's signature even when they would make a great deal of sense. Dikiyoba simply says "Dikiyoba" whenever Dikiyoba means Dikiyoba's self (or rarely "I"). But I could've sworn I saw Dikiyoba mention this once before, and I promptly forgot it until now. EDIT: This also changes the tone of Dikiyoba's declaration of non-desire for romance.

Presumably some old machine parts. Maybe some books. Perhaps some maintenance equipment. But if you mean in the scenario, nothing. It's an empty room in the editor. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Nope. It's not even a functional door — the terrain script on it is Search-Block, not Door, so there's absolutely no way to bust it open. There are parts of Bahssikava that are not reachable in the scenario, although this is probably the most blatant. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

After I finish Exodus, I'm planning to completely rewrite the docs, but that probably won't be until summer, and what I'm doing won't start in the Wiki.

We've had a lot of "reactions" threads, starting with mine, shortly after the Mac version came out. More recently there was this one, shortly after the Windows version came out. There are the occasional complaint threads, which may or may not tell you anything, as well as a few vaguely insightful comparison threads. But then, who knows, we might have new discussion here, so we can leave this thread open. Those are just for reference, if you want to know what's been said before. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Follow the map to the other X. Then, once you get to that other X, follow that map back to the previous X. Eventually you should work your way back to something interesting.

It's fair to say that there are others here who think the same thing, and there are others who disagree. I personally think that the A4 engine was, ultimately, not an improvement. If you like A3, have fun with A2, which has much the same engine, probably a better plot, and a rather smaller world. And definitely be sure to check out BoA, and not just the four scenarios that come with the game, but the user-made scenarios available for download on the Spiderweb site. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
