Thralni and the orb in Blades of Avernum
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 02:20 Profile #13 Thanks for that, I don't know why but I took "to a man and a woman" literally. Still its fertile ground for a (or another) scenario to be made. -------------------- I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me Posts: 107 | Registered: Thursday, December 9 2004 08:00

Thralni and the orb in Blades of Avernum Editor
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 00:16 Profile #11 I'm curious if anyone can remember any instances where the game mentions the path the first expedition took. I haven't played Avernum 1 for ages but from memory a group were creamed by bassilisks, another got on the wrong side of Motrax and Thralni drowned. Also there's mention of the expedition being reduced "to a man and a woman," is there anything further said on the matter? Oh almost forgot, does anyone know where the names Scrioth and Korthax are mentioned specifically?

Slot trouble in Blades of Avernum Editor
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Tuesday, September 13 2005 00:08 Profile #3 Fair enough it isn't silly after all, Still is there a call to add an actual character (with portrait, character screen ect.) into a party as opposed to putting in an NPC which you don't have direct control over. This was used several times in Avernum 1 and 2 but I don't recall seeing it in the editor documentation for blades. I thought the call function might have been discontinued and replaced with the two NPC slots. This isn'tcrucial just helpful for plot purposes.

Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Monday, September 12 2005 00:38 Profile #0 Howdy, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the call to add charcters to slots 2,3, and 4 as for whetever reason I can't see it in the documentation. Normally I'd just cherrypick this from someones elses script but everyone seems to have jumped on the slot 5/6 bandwagon which is just silly. -------------------- I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me Posts: 107 | Registered: Thursday, December 9 2004 08:00

LP Nethergate graphics in Blades of Avernum
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Tuesday, April 12 2005 16:51 Profile #3 wow I just love watching the simmering sexual tension beween you two. But in all seriousness I though LP had fine graphics and outdoors already so this can only make it better. -------------------- I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me Posts: 107 | Registered: Thursday, December 9 2004 08:00
Backwater Calls submitted. in Blades of Avernum
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Monday, February 28 2005 02:17 Profile #4 Overall I found this to be an extremely worthwhile scenario with some very compelling plot elements and also many of those little extra "attention to detail" tidbits that make a scenario memorable. I'm glad we're starting to see a run of decent scenarios being produced.

Speculating about Avernum 4's plot in General
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Friday, January 21 2005 22:14 Profile #96 I think it would be interesting to see some sort of split develop in the Empire itself maybe between the moderates like Prazac and the more hardline generals, which could possibly escalate into a civil war with Avernum manipulating the situation for its own gain. -------------------- I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me Posts: 107 | Registered: Thursday, December 9 2004 08:00

Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Wednesday, January 19 2005 23:05 Profile #2 Thats a good point actually and I probably shouldn't have phrased the question in terms of good versus evil. But speaking more along the lines of scenarios such as ASR where its more a question of the relative power of both sides (seeing as both Stalker and the Empire aren't so morally pure,) when you have the "the establishment" versus a rebel group, a lot of people (myself included) feel sympathy for the underdog and tend to give them a run through first, regardless of whether the more powerful side has a legitimate motive for their actions. I was kind of interested in finding out whether there are many players who do the opposite and play through the more powerful (and/or) less moral side first.

Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Wednesday, January 19 2005 18:59 Profile #0 I just thought i'd post to ask people that if offered a choice in an avernum scenario between two sides what would it take for you to pick the morally evil one? It seems to me that in most scenarios along the lines of ASR its the 'rebel' side that is played through first and i need some ideas on how to maybe bribe a player to take the completely throughly evil and morally reprehensible side for a test drive. In particular say that I gave the party lavish financial rewards what are some ideas for creative ways that they could spend it?(like being able to buy Hawkes Manse in avernum 3) [ Thursday, January 20, 2005 03:45: Message edited by: Poit ] -------------------- I assume my reputation for arrogant presumption precedes me Posts: 107 | Registered: Thursday, December 9 2004 08:00

Scenarios in Development in Blades of Avernum
Poit Warrior Member # 5274	written Wednesday, January 19 2005 18:22 Profile #9 I'm about a quarter of the way through the one i'm working on now but seem to have lost all interest lately for some reason, probably because I made the classic newbie mistake by being too ambitious regarding its scale.
