GIFTS? in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, January 13 2006 21:35 Profile Homepage #3 Hm... even if I hadn't made Spire mad by killing Annatolia, I don't think I could have betrayed the GIFTS by subjecting them to that lunatic. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

3rd test in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, January 12 2006 13:04 Profile Homepage #3 And of course, super-hasting the mage/priest guy will help you. But doing the test with only one magic user is probably a bad idea... particularly if said magic user is also trying to be a thief at the same time. My suggestion for your party: Get a lot of wands. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Demons or not? in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, January 12 2006 13:02 Profile Homepage #6 I find the extra-planar explanation fairly plausible, in that it explains their arrogance and magical skills, as well as their relative rarity in the game world (except in poorly-made scenarios). However, I highly doubt that said extra plane is shared with demons... I can't see three very arrogant and magical semi-humanoid races getting along very well in any context. What would be cool to see in a scenario would be an extra spell (in the sense of Canopy's extra spells) that only affects Efreet and Rakshasi. Something like "Banish", a rough analogue to booting them back to their home plane. EDIT: Just to be clearer, I think neither of them are demons.

Empire territory in A2 in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, January 11 2006 18:17 Profile Homepage #1 In A2, it's impossible to get to Empire-controlled lands, except for a few major missions, which only let you access a very small part of it. If you want to travel through all of Avernum, then Avernum 1 is your best bet. EDIT: Typo. "aprt" isn't a word...

Two Quests. in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, January 9 2006 09:43 Profile Homepage #2 About the first one, I believe that you need to have found some grimy, coded maps in the Darkside lair. Without those, you don't have much to give to Levitt. And did you talk to Commander Elphaba in Fort Saffron after cleaning out the lair? Because there's someone else in the fort that you have to take care of after that... -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

I Want to Crush Your Dreams. in Blades of Avernum

You never even see the child but believe the mage nonetheless. Unicorn sacrifices his life for life of child, you get a reward from mage..... This seems like a much better start than #2 and #3 in that post, both of which seem really corny. But this could stand to be modified. Suggestions: -It might be better to leave the Empire out of it... they'd be more likely to just wipe out the unicorns without a second thought. -If the Empire is staying in the scenario, I imagine that the Empire's wizards would be more likely to want unicorns than the soldiers would. -You could always go with the old "Mage wants near-eternal life from drinking unicorn blood" plot device, and stick with the sick daughter being a ploy. Or heck, it'd be better if the daughter really was there, and the mage was just using her as a way to increase his own power. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Favourite Avernum Game in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, January 8 2006 11:27 Profile Homepage #4 Ah, such a classic topic. Though I see that you forgot to include Blades of Avernum in the poll... A2, hands-down. It is the first of them that I played, so I just felt a lot more comfortable with it than A1. That, and A2 had cooler animations for spells and such. A3 wasn't so great when compared to A2, claims of open-endedness aside. And A4, while an improvement over A3, still has a few problems of its own, which knocks it down below the level of A2.

Designing towns. in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, January 8 2006 10:48 Profile Homepage #6 And as a finishing touch, the "Frill Up Terrain" option under the Town menu should make things look a bit more interesting. One thing that I've found to be helpful, particularly when trying to put some trees or stalagmites into a town, is to use the spray-can tool to spray one type of tree/stalagmite throughout the town. Then, use the Change Terrain button repeatedly to diversify the trees/stalagmites. The trick is getting the right percentages, so you end up with roughly even numbers of trees of each type. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
