My art budget can be cut to a fraction. Delicious.

It seems to have become increasingly evident that Avernum 4 is not what is planned.

Hopefully it would be so. But then, those who are impaired in such a way would not end up going to vote, don't you think?

A small Rebelion Poll in Blades of Avernum

I took the shortest path possible for completion, and I sided with the Rebels from the start. When I met Stalker face to face, I killed him and fled to the docks where (strangely) Jaen was, telling of the nonexistent attack he had staged in order to free me. He also said my reward was in a nearby box (which it wasn't.) I killed him for his nonsense and then left.

I played the scenario normally before, so I understood what would've happened. I just felt like pointing out the inconsistencies of what happens when you actually effectively assassinate Stalker.

Having 1 Efficiency (via Cloak of Clarity) occasionally helped reduce my heal spell to 1 spell point rather than 2. Magical Efficiency seems to be a worthy investment, from my experiences.

But it would be interesting to know how much Mage Spells, Intelligence, and Magery affects damage, etc.

Designers could turn on another quest that was named something like "Completed Quest A." after "Quest A" was finished.

I recommend BoA because BoE is outdated and unsupported, and I prefer BoA because my system does not run BoE well. BoE is still an excellent game, but I expect the flow of new scenarios will soon drain down to a trickle rather than the strong stream it once was. If you want immediate entertainment, get BoE, and if you want entertainment 5 years from now get BoA.

Hmm... forgive me for my ignorance, but how and when do we submit graphics? I have an edit I might submit, just for fun...

EDIT: Sweet merciful Waffles, am I stupid! The link's right on the top of the board! Now please excuse me as I slap myself repeatedly.

You should take into account your OS. If you use a Mac, and you use Mac OS 9, you should get BoE. If you have Mac OS X, I recommend BoA because BoE doesn't run native in X (from what I know.)

If you use a Windows, get whatever. But I personally recommend BoA -- it seems to have a promising future.

Anyway, welcome to Spiderweb, Dracanis. Enjoy the utter lack of sanity (see above post) and the overwhelming amount of religious arguments.

The awesomeness of this application cannot be expressed using words.

Yeah.
It's that awesome.

BUT like the little whiner I am I want to suggest a few more features.

- If you could figure out the whole tints thing, it would be incredibly useful.

- A mode of the 3D editor where the central point is the point of view and all things out of line of sight are blacked out would be awesome. Cave of No Return, for example, has two sets of tree terrains for the forest: trees that block sight and ones that don't. I can't distinguish between the two, which made it very difficult to get it right (which I didn't do) so seeing what the line of sight would be like would be very useful.

I don't have any more recommendations for features, and you're welcome to not add any at all. I'd still use your editor.

One more thing: THANK YOU SO MUCH!
