NBA Playoffs in General

Rest assured, if you get the download to work, EV Nova is far, far, far, far (etc.) better than EVO. I played EV Nova first, and couldn't bring myself to play through EVO.

Things that bug me about A4 in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, May 3 2006 11:39 Profile Homepage #2 Many of these have been addressed before. 1. Monsters haven't been able to open doors reliably since Exile. But yes, most of the A4 AI is just gratuitously stupid. 2. "Standard issue bag of holding"... no. I like the encumbrance system in A4, since it finally makes sense. In previous Avernums, it was incredibly difficult to isolate the problem that was suddenly causing your fighter to lose an AP. And besides, it never made sense that you could carry 750 pounds of gear, but not 751 pounds. 3. True, but trainers have always been weird in Avernums. At least spells kind of got fixed, away from the simple 1-2-3 system of A1-3, but avoiding the broken-ness that is the BoA spell-levelling system. 4. Pylons are just bad. They shouldn't have been dredged from the Geneforge pile. They're bad enough without making them more complicated. 5. I feel like many people agree here. I, for one, liked resting, but I also liked the outdoors. Even the "dancing back and forth" recharging strategy from A1-BoA was nicer than just getting fully recharged once you took one step past the town's gates. I recall that in previous Avernums, there were dungeons that would mildly repopulate if you didn't slay the source of monsters (be it the goblin chief, giant chitrach, or head vampire). This is also doable in BoA. I don't understand why it failed to make the cut for A4... perhaps engine difficulties. So, in short, thank you for sharing, and thank you for keeping the complaints away from the standard "i just dident lyke et" that we get way too often (it is a relief, seriously). -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."
