They are different like a "book on tape" is different from the written word. If you like the written word, get Exile. If you prefer to listen to someone famous interpret the characters, Avernum all the way. Download the demo and try each. You'll see. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Most folks seem to dig Avernum 2 or Exile 2. They are the same story, written on two different engines. Exile is better, but that is just the right opinion. You might find yourself being wrong and liking the Avernum engine. Demo both and you'll see... ps. Welcome aboard, beware the skillfully thrown mango. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I still have a Windows 95 CD because it was the last stable OS before 2kPro. I only wish I had my 3.11 floppies, or WfW. Those were good times... good times. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I have to agree with Drakefyre, as much as it pains me. Would they be judged on simplicity? Usefulness? Originality? Complexity? Would they need to be packaged with a demo scenario to showcase the scripts? My brain now hurts. :confused: :rolleyes: :eek: -------------------- WWtNSD?

Read them. Try to imagine more announcements. What would they be? Then achieve a state of enlightenment and become the zen master, capable of introspection without affect on the surrounding world. Please. -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

To be honest here, I just wanted to submit a post today. No other topic looks vaguely like an argument, so here I am. Alorael - to extend your allegory of the profane, yet popular speechmaker. The choice to use profane words was (I assume) spur of the moment, otherwise he would have been guaranteed a captivated audience, like George Carlin and his magnificent 7. If the audience was caught unawares, there is always the door. No one is forced to be offended, especially in a public meeting hall. The flip side, harkening back to Vinnie's main point, is that the audience could be made up of psychiatry patients, all of whom had undergone hypnosis and had trigger words (and actions) left in their subconsciousness. In that case, it may cause harm to use any word, not necessarily one that has been arbitrarily assigned a negative connotation by some person or organization in the distant past. Would it be best to just stop speaking? Beauty, and morality, lies in the eyes of the beholder. I may see actions as amoral that another finds immoral, and the actor finds to be moral. That is the banality of civilization. Even in the search for conformity, it is our differences that allow our society to grow and prosper. :P -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Honestly, does any of this matter? Isn't Spiderweb good enough for you? Don't you realize that the annual Force of Habit Sale is going on right now? This could be the time when you finally purchase Nethergate for $27, or the Geneforge Trilogy for $49.50. It seems individual games are only $22.50, and the hint books are $9. Basically, everything is 10% off, including my sanity and better judgement. Get webbed! :) Edit - Yes, thanks for asking. I do feel icky and cheap now. :P [ Tuesday, October 10, 2006 17:40: Message edited by: Jumpin' Salmon ] -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Without even looking I'm gonna wager that there are quite a few results for my moniker. Maybe even a few pictures too! Edit - 211,000 hits, 8 images, 1 news item. Sadly when I put my moniker in quotes it only returns 2 pages of hits, mostly about me. :( Where have all the salmon gone???
