Wow. Did I actually say "infinitely worse"? I meant "noticeably lamer."

Chalk that one to having just woken up.

Djur, I don't think his statement was as coherent as that, really. He said he liked Avernum's graphics, liked Exile's graphics, and would be okay with Exile's graphics if they weren't 2D. That's just nonsensical, really.

GF2 cleaned up some of the engine and gameplay problems in GF1, and the quests were more fun and developed, but the plot was infinitely worse. I was extremely curious about the mystery of Trajkov during the entire course of GF1, although I admit meeting him was something of an anti-climax.

I guess I liked GF2 better.

Generally, head southeast to the South Workshop and then north and east through the Front Gate and into Trajkov's headquarters.

There's a canister of Create Drayk in the Patrolled Dell a few spots east of you. Er, and another one in the Sealed Lab, which is on your way to Trajkov.

To get into Inner Gazak-Uss, you need three broken crystal pieces which are in Benerii-Uss Holding (NW), Benerii-Uss Shaping (SW), and the Geneforge (E), according to the FAQ at the top of this board. As I recall, none of them are too hard to find.

You cannot use the Geneforge yourself.

From what I understand, the closest scenarios you'll find to E3 in BoE are At the Gallows, Spears, and Adventurer's Club 3. Those are huge, sprawling epics with lots of towns, outdoors, fighting, dungeons, etc.

Perfect Forest woes in Blades of Avernum

This was exactly my complaint with the scenario. You need to kill the Haunted Nephil a goodly number of times (six, I think), go to the place where the "object" that the Perfect Spirit hates is, and then find mirrors elsewhere to move into position. If you want more specific instructions, post what part you are stuck on.

Drakey just said that it's very near beta, which I'm guessing means that it's about two or three months away from release, but these things are always very hard to estimate.

Conflict with Avernum future Storyline in Blades of Avernum
Off With Their Heads
Member # 4045
Profile Homepage #3
Two basic points to make here:

1) This is exactly why some BoA designers are annoyed that Jeff is making A4. Rest assured, however, that we are all in the same boat, and your scenario will still be played even if Jeff viciously makes it un-canonical with his sequel.

2) Be careful about what you do with the future of Avernum. Various people have done various things with the world's future after E3/A3, most notably Stareye's Gallows/Spears/etc plotline, but also TM's Echoes plotline. While you don't have to agree with others' ideas about what should happen next in Avernum's history, it might be less confusing for your players if your scenario didn't directly contradict other scenarios.

However, no matter what you do, people will play your scenario, especially since there are so few for BoA right now.

But it costs essentially no money, so if they get even one customer who actually buys the product out of, say, ten thousand e-mails, they make money out of it.

I suppose it goes without saying that this makes no sense. I feel like saying it anyway: this makes no sense.

I think you were trying to say: "Please reply to this if you think that I should delete this topic. If I get 5 replies of that nature, then I will delete it." Unfortunately, your request was worded poorly, you abused caps lock, and you used "than" instead of "then," one of my personal grammar pet peeves. Also, sadly, you are not capable of deleting this topic; only a moderator can do that, and they almost never do.

By the way, triple-posting will earn you no friends around here. Edit your previous post if you have something to add soon after posting. Oh, and one more thing:

You need a dialogue script. There are a variety of ways to deal with this. Reading the docs can be useful, particularly Chapter 2.14 - Creating Dialogue. The basics: every town has a dialogue script. The script's name will be the same as the town script's name with "dlg" stuck on the end: the dialogue script for Fort Talrus in VoDT is "t0Fort Talrusdlg.txt," because Fort Talrus's script is "t0Fort Talrus.txt." The docs will tell you what calls are available in a dialogue script.

Arenax made a dialogue editor, too, available here. I've never used it or heard from anyone who's used it, so I can't vouch for it, but it exists.

I'm not sure if the point needs to be made again, but I will anyway: while you cannot play any scenarios but VoDT without purchasing BoA, the scenario editor is free and open-source, meaning that you can start designing and sketching out terrain and writing dialogue now and test out your complex ideas later when you actually purchase the game.

Only one glitch that I'm aware of, namely that it screws up if it gets set a second time while the party is still in the scenario... are there others?
