Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, June 18 2006 12:27 Profile Homepage #22 quote: Originally written by Svend Karlson: Until I asked this question I was not even considering the Blades games, as I was making the assumption that Avernum 4 & Geneforge 3, as the most recent releases, would be the best. They're too similar. Avernum 4 is the first time that the Avernum series wound up using the Geneforge engine, and the result was a little less satisfactory than the rest of the Avernum series. That said, I strongly suggest Avernum 2, which is generally said to be the best of the series. That, or Blades of Avernum, whose base of scenarios is finally growing. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

Planning in Blades of Avernum Editor
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, June 18 2006 12:01 Profile Homepage #12 When it comes to planning (though the advice has already been given), I subscribe to the "let it design itself" method. I just try to get a good fix on what I'm doing beforehand (as i suggests), then let all the details work themselves out as I code and design. Lately, it's created overly-complex situations where I'm trying to keep track of way too many things, but a way to deal with that usually evolves. And as for notes, I find that it's just helpful to keep TextEdit open with a running list of used SDFs and what they do (sorted by the town they're used in), quests, and special items. And sticky notes, be they virtual or physical, help a lot. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really* hate undead. With a passion.

What's your favorite party? in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, June 16 2006 17:06 Profile Homepage #4 For A4, my favorite party was this: Human priest/sword-wielding-warrior Slith mage/spear-wielding-berserker Nephil mage/archer/rogue Human priest All of these characters had the emphasis on the magic part (i.e.: my warrior could cast RETRIBUTION!!!), and it worked beautifully. Sadly, this was my second time through the game, and I couldn't maintain my interest past Fort Remote. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."

I need your help! in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, June 15 2006 12:39 Profile Homepage #2 Thankfully, I realized that Lenar said most of what I wanted to say. So, in short: don't try it, 'cause it won't work. As a designer, I know. By the way, it sounds like you have no idea what you're doing, so a small scenario would be a very good way to gain some much-needed experience. It's fairly difficult for a one-post newbie to walk in here and rally the community to work on a single project, particularly when said newbie expects to be in charge. More on the theme of "you don't know what you're doing": If you're going to come to us and try to get us to work on your project, you should have an idea. A plot. A theme. A vague story arc. Something. Because if you don't, anyone who does come to you with ideas will have them scattered across such a broad spectrum that you won't be able to do anything with them all. I noticed that on your website, you don't even know what the main quest will be. You know, you kind of sound like Will Wright. Just without the creativity and ingenuity.

Avernum V ideas in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, June 14 2006 13:10 Profile Homepage #53 quote: Originally written by BrTarolg: lol i would like to see a few of the E3 features back.. like just capturing order mages in soul crystals, and trying to attack the tower of magi yourself and stuff :P it was just alot more open ended i guess. Well, you can still attack anything in A4... it just might not be a great idea. Though it would be nice to see Capture Soul/Simulacrum re-integrated into the spell system. Of course, that would require some sort of friendly interaction with the Vahnatai, so I'm not sure it's going to happen. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."
