Agreed.

It's funny, 'cause I just finished a paper on Galileo's interpretation of the Bible, and yeah, they can definitely coexist. Galileo went to great pains to keep the letter of the Bible intact, even if it meant making most of it into metaphors (or so it seems from some of his original correspondence). Admittedly, more than a few of his theories missed the mark completely, like the idea that sunspots are more or less the sun's fuel, but that's besides the point.

Meh, it's possible. Each can fill in the gaps the other leaves behind.

It's always nice to see that I'm not the only one who likes my villains. Well, not in all cases, it seems, but you can't win them all.

Methinks Salmon was talking to Aran, not to you, Dryth. It was another of his attempts at sarcasm that keep getting lost on everyone, unless I miss my guess.

Follow-up in BoA terms: Rentar was the core villain of Undead Valley, a scenario which even now haunts the minds of designers as an example of what to avoid. She also apparently instigated the events of Nephilim Mystery, which should be punishable by death. :P

There is an area west of Bargha (spelling?). There is a whole lot of stalagmites. There are two holes leading down. One of them leads to the test.
Iffy, I'm pretty sure that is the sixth test.

But anyway, once you get to that one, there aren't any more.

I'm so sick of people harping on about how nobody should even try to make RPGs anymore if they're not Oblivion clones. I mean seriously... not only do most companies have deadlines to meet, but they don't have the extensive staff to create such massive games. And even without putting that element into the equation, there's still the old idea of quality v/ quantity: do you want a million plotlines where all of them are so-so, or do you want one well-written epic quest?

I'll admit, I tend to dislike those games with extensive cutscenes and little or no actual input from the player. And of course there are linear RPGs with bad plots, but that appears across all genres.

Anyway, stop complaining. :P

I'm working on some stuff, but I'm also working on re-organizing my life. I was recently kicked out of one of my two improv groups, I'm trying to fix some things with my girlfriend of nearly two years, and I might actually put an appropriate amount of time and energy into my classes this semester. So, while I have an active project, don't be expecting anything all that soon.

You might be looking at the wrong book, actually (it happens a lot). Check all the books around and above Kelner's location.

Yup. Same here... begged parents to register it, and eventually they caved. I was absolutely desperate to get back out of vahnatai lands and resume my many quests.

Then A3 came out, and I might've just outright bought it... can't remember. Either way, I can't find my first post, because the PPP archives don't have anything from the most ancient A3 forum.

I do agree that it's unfortunate that we can't specify the wallset to be used for outdoor walls and cliffs, but if you really need it, just use ~12 terrain slots and make a permanent wallset of you own for the job.
Actually, you can do this. You just need to include graphics sheets that overwrite the outdoor cliffs (657) and the outdoor walls (616 for surface, 614 for caves).
