An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, April 20 2006 22:13 Profile Homepage #307 -------------- Every problem has its source. But sources can have sources. And therein lies the problem. - Teachings of the Order -------------- Sister Quartz looked up into the night sky, and nearly fell over The Muse's starboard railing. She bolted off to the messenger pigeon room, and scrawled a quick message, hurling the laden pigeon into the reddish night sky. Look up. Awaiting orders. - Quartz -------------- Brother Yewbark could see the red sky through a window in King Accis's shack of a headquarters. He thought about leaping out and running back to The Winecask, but the armed guards around him made him reconsider. This will be interesting... -------------- Brother Clearwater gazed out at the mainland from the upper level of the Council Hall. The rainy season was set to begin soon, and huge, billowing clouds were gathering abouve the continent. And then he noticed something strange... The clouds were red. The first thing to enter Clearwater's mind was that a volcano had gone off somewhere deep in the mainland. The tides had been fiercer today than most days, with some unusually large waves doing mild damage to harbors. It kind of fit... It might be a good idea to check this out... he thought, strolling down to go find Brother Redscale. -------------- After speaking with Brother Redscale, it was decided. He would lead a group of guards and priests to go check out the area, see what the damage was. Somebody had to look out for the continent's interior. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Plus, even if they do get struck something awful by an arrow, a fireball will do more than cauterize the wound. So the key to any fight will be finding a way to take out the magi. So, if there's ever a mage and a melee-er in the same fight, we lose. Well. I give up.

Should I Buy...? in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, April 18 2006 09:32 Profile Homepage #1 quote: Originally written by Crystal Blue: Is it worth my money? Um... your call, really. Sift through the criticism threads, and you can decide. quote: Is it expansive? Yes. It's huge, with plenty of little side-areas to explore and kill stuff in. Loot abounds, with the return of a few much-beloved artifacts. quote: Is it immersive? Kinda-sorta. The atmosphere is still there, just not as strong as A2's feel. The huge-ness and the lack of outdoors lower the immersive quality, but it's still solid. quote: Does the plot have a lot of depth? Um, no. Not at all, really. Except for the shades, most of the plot is unusually simple. On the plus side, a few leftovers from A3 get settled (at long freakin' last). quote: Do the new skill changes and spell changes make it better or worse? New spells are good. I miss a few that were taken away (Simulacrum, Radiant Shield, Cloud of Blades, rest in peace), but I love Daze and the improved Divine RETRIBUTION!!! Skills are still well-done. I miss Pathfinder (nothing hazardous can be stepped on anymore, which is very not-cool) and Barter, but otherwise the skill system is intact. Pure Spirit was long overdue. EDIT: Drat. Quote tags.

still not getting avernum... in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, April 18 2006 09:20 Profile Homepage #10 Started with Avernum, never even touched Exile. I think the question here is which Avernum bobdylanrocks1966 downloaded. If it was A4, then the unwelcome reception is understandable, since A4 looks and plays absolutely nothing like anything in Exile. But if it's A1/2/3, then I don't quite understand the complaints. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

A3: Poor mages! in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, April 18 2006 09:12 Profile Homepage #19 quote: Originally written by Archmagus Micael: Try Undead Valley (2.0), and you'll see that Priests can definitely be needed. I've had people complaining that high-level parties find it hard. You get hurt so much you HAVE to have lots of priests, especially as priests do most damage to undead. You know, I could very, very, very easily go on a rant here, but I won't. Just kidding. Undead Valley is painfully unbalanced from the start. Fireblast still does just as much damage to undead, and usually more once you've got a half-competent mage in your party. Besides, once you get jaded on the hordes upon hordes of undead, Fireblast is just so much more satisfying. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

A3: Poor mages! in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, April 16 2006 15:22 Profile Homepage #13 quote: Originally written by Old Scratch: I don't even know why Jeff continues to include it in Avernum. I miss the Exile spells... and I've never even played the game. Acid Spray seems to be a holdover from a period when SW games had that wider array of spells, which could do more interesting things. If I understand things correctly, status spells were better. But if nothing else, they add a role-playing element to the games, which the games kind of need. (That said, I'm pleased with how A4 dealt with status spells. You want a powerful Acid Spray? Play A4.) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
