Changes for Better or Worse? in Avernum 4 | |

Area effect spells were back! Area affect spells were useful at times, but not as much as I'd hoped. "Huge" seamless world. It made Avernum feel more "real". Well, yes, I've always thought that two major cities should only be half a map sector away from each other. This definitely takes away the "realness". We were finally back in Avernum, and saw how it recovered after the Empire-Avernum War. How did Avernum ever survive the war if this is all they had. The Empire had far worse than a few shades and some sea-monsters. Posts: 1370 | Registered: Thursday, June 10 2004 07:00 |

I'm sorry, but as my first Spidweb Game (that I bought) was Exile 3, which is basically Avernum 3, I'd have to say that good old exile/avernum wins hands-down. I really loved Geneforge 1, but even though I've bought the latest 2, they don't compare to GF1, but the entire Avernum trilogy is really good. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

All games have something you see a lot more of than anything else. In Geneforge, it may be boats. In BoE it's valleys, islands and goblins. In BoA, it's undead. In other games, it's other stuff. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

When (and IF) I die, I'll just fade away rather swiftly. I'm just plain old boring, so not many people would care. All my stuff, well, it'll just be left to rot in the vacuum of "cyberspace". Oh well, at least I'm still alive. And plan to be "lotsa" years to come. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

And to learn more about Bahs just play the "unnoficial" guide (Kel's scenario Bahsikava for BoA) To be honest, I never even found Bahs while playing Avernum 1. I was probably concentrating too much on exploring the side-dungeons (apart from the right one) and killing Hawthorne etc. - Archmagus Micael [ Thursday, April 06, 2006 11:18: Message edited by: Archmagus Micael ] -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Here's one: "Hello. Why're you ringing me? Who are you? If you're Helena, drop dead. If you're someone else, consider droping dead. Don't bother leaving a message after the tone, as I probably won't bother listening to it. Hello. Why're you ringing me? Who are you? If you're Helena, drop dead.

I can guarantee that not many people will leave a message, especially if you increase the number of repeats. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Most boring (and useless) spell has got to be Bind Foe. An absolute waste of time, as any monster strong enough for you to need to bind it can break free in a turn or less. Most boring (and pointless) monster has got to be the Amber Slime. They are so easy to kill, and just mind-bogglingly boring. The Goblins come as close runners up. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

It's getting "dark" already. But seriously, stuff like this happens all the time somewhere. Most people only pay attention to it however, when it gets this public. But yeah, I'd have to agree with Ephesos. This would work wonders for population control. - Archmagus Micael -------------------- "You dare Trifle with Avernum?" ~ Erika the Archmage -------------------- My Scenarios: Undead Valley : A small Undead problem, what could possibly go wrong? -------------------- Richard Black - PROOF of his existance (the Infernal one's website). -------------------- MY FORUM!

Yeah, but by the time there's a large enough need for females, it will probably bo too late. Atleast1 entire generation will have too few females, wich will just cause things like rape and population destabilisation etc to occur. Alarge proportion of the men won't exactly refrain from sex just because there's not enough women. Sexual diseases would rise, and thee would be a general collapse. Ofcourse, they would learn their lesson, but it would take sometime. - Archmagus Micael P.S.
