I've suspended work on something that might become a scenario some day.

Outdoors - 100% done, but 75% crap.
Outdoor coding - 3.4% done.
Towns - 8 of them. All exist somewhat, some more, some less.
Town coding - uh huh. Nope, about 2% done.
Town dialogue - no.
Backups in existence - 1.
Tentacle release date - November 1998.

When do the goblins pounce?

The only poor advice I can offer is to really force the moral dilemna on the player. Make them choose to help the cattle or the dragon AND face the consequences. The dragon and her villagers will attack the party if they try to take the herbal supplements out of the valley. The sickly villagers will order up some meanies of their own once they hear that the party is NOT returning with the green goo.

Oh, and make sure there are goblins.

Huh.

How could I have overlooked a congratulatory *whoomp* for our own Dixiyoga? It must be the title of the thread, which was sufficiently off-putting to encourage ignorance, but it ended up surviving the german inquisition for this long, so it must be actually okay, and it is, because it is topical and postal.

...

Are you sure you want me to explain your given name?

Logically it should take two successful attempts to kill Rentar. Likewise, it should only take one attempt to kill Erika. They are both dead now, neither expected to die, therefore there should be no contingency plans enacted.

I'm sure Jeff is as tired with those two women as anyone could be, and if bothers us so bad we can just change the scripts to give Rentar a different name, capiche?

Question in Avernum 4

Member # 5755

Lacking a choice, since they are special items, you hang on to them until the end of the game. At some point they are useful, and you are asked how they should be used. There is one good way to use them, although using them in a bad way does not make the game unwinnable, just a little more difficult.

Vague enough for you?

I like the image, but I don't understand what it means - :confused:

Judging from the URL, it is from Final Fantasy 7, a console game, and is either Kotobuki with a sephiroth or Sephirith with a kotobuki.

Well, your reasons actually fit for a lot of toys (RPGS are toys) that have existed in the 20th century. Toys guns have been dismissed or desired. GI Joe and Barbie, Legos, 101 in 1 Chemistry sets, etc. all teach some social conformity which is desired by the parents or other gift giver. The social agenda of the toy manufacturer may be less direct than with the written or spoken word, but it is still there.

My parents exposed me to a wide spectrum of toy options (except guns, because they were anti-gun) and let me decide on my own. It may be more difficult today, as society has changed some and the choices can typically be between bad and less bad.

As far as you original hypothesis, I see Vogel's world as being essentially static, with an established and long-lived political structure. It always offers the PC the option of fighting against an established order (E.O.), and occasionally of fighting along side the established order. I'm thinking of ASR, Geneforge, and to a lesser extent DwtD. VotD was an interesting case, where you are retained by the E.O. to clean up a mess, which ends up (maybe) making the PC have negative feelings toward the E.O.

I guess Jeff does hail from areas of the country that have had hazardous waste problems of their own...

It depends on the context. If a similar topic appears tomorrow or next week, I say go ahead and lock it.

However, if a similar topic were to appear in, say, three weeks, Dikiyoba wants the chance to say "NO!" again.

Not everyone checks each thread with every reply, so why not leave the non-violating threads open at least until they are answered. So yeah, I would object, non-verbally, if threads started getting locked because at some point in the past they offended and it was decided that particular topics did not merit re-discussion, despite changes in either community or technology.

M'k?

Seriously, I doubt JV would give one second of thought to this idea, and far be it for anyone to distract him from more meaningful projects. As slave to another baby, he has mounds of diapers to slay and clouds of talc to conjure up to defeat the chapped beastie. Oh yeah. He's also working on more computer games.

Two words that together contain all the letters, or two separate words which are permutations of Pythagorean?

As correctly answered by Slarty, the two words combined have 11 letters.

I remember puzzling over that one for a long time, about 20 years ago. It seems fairly pedestrian now.

While cogitating, try this one out.

I'm bored, so I'll correct your comparison to put BoA in a slightly more favorable light.

"You have reached the answering machine for the phone number given out to people that don't deserve the time of day. If you wish to cause the dogs to start barking, please speak clearly and slowly into the microphone. Also realize that your number has been traced, and I will be charging your company direct costs for having to receive and listen to this phone call. Everyone else can just call the other number you've been given."

That said, humor is highly over-rated compared to other methods of human intercourse.

opinions on Avernum IV in Avernum 4

Member # 5755

Sadly I found myself actually enjoying the game play in A4, but not caring for the plot at all. It may be interesting to some to discover the villain, but I just didn't care. There was no sense of suspense, no sense that actions I took were changing events, and certainly no emotion for successfully completing a quest.

But the combat was real fun, and you can tweak the scripts to make the game a little bit different. Wheeeeeeeee.
