"Fire Emblem was never officially released in English until 2004, and then only one game, I think, whereas most of the Dragon Quests have been out in English."

Although I havent completed any of the Fire Emblem games, they did release 2 on GBA, and one on Gamecube, with more on the way.

Does anyone here actually own a real gameboy? I have 2. :P

I completed FE 1 (English) on the GBA. Since then I haven't played any FE games on a GBA, but I've played them...

Sadly, I played MA before FE so I didn't pay attention to the character dialog graphics. I just assumed they were from some obscure Japanese game I would never play.

EDIT: Seeing as it's slightly relevant, TM, is the dialog graphic of Leader in Canopy supposed to resemble Big Brother?

What is the weirdest thing you've ever seen? I don't know.
What is the weirdest thing you've done? I happen to enjoy sneaking into places I shouldn't be and taking pointless memorabilia. I can't specify more here. But REV will pay...
What is the most humiliating thing you have ever done for money? I have made out with a tree.
What is the most humiliating thing you would ever do for money? I would run at least several miles with my pants down for $100.
If you could travel back time, what historical event would you like to witness “live” and why? Don't know.
If someone made a movie about your life, what would it be called? Tony Cryptic: Your Godfather of Fun
If you were a meal how would you describe yourself? Bitter.
Have you ever gone a whole day without wearing underwear? Not recently.
What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever bought? A brownie.
If you had to kill a SW member, who would it be and why? Aran. He's plotting against everyone else anyway.
If you had to pick between TM or Alec, who would you pick? and WHY?(You can't ignore the question, you can't answer neither, and NO it's not for killing) TM. It might be awkward and uncomfortable, but it would by no means be uninteresting.

Member 5219 was banned for using the name "Drakey", as well as being mean. I'm guessing an Administrator changed the name afterward. UBB, in its intricacies and general ununderstandability, maintains that his name is "Drakey". Sometimes.

If Exile/Avernum is ever remade, the new product's name will probably be Hades.

I think that's how all things look when you use black lines to define the graphics. For another example, see the Warped Creator.

I want to see a creation which does something new and different, not just something that does the same thing in a different way.

Scripting in Geneforge Series
Agent

Hmm, okay. I just assumed you didn't know what you were talking about. My apologies :P .

The PC has its data set in stone, there's no script which determines its attack type. You can't change anything there.

You could turn off your control of your creations and put an imitation of the effect in the combat state (I think, but I'm not positive creations run basicnpc when they're not being controled).

You could also give yourself gazers using an editor. This is probably the best and easiest choice.

You want graphics, not scripts. And you probably could cut and paste the graphics yourself; it's easy to figure out what to replace with what.

I am not a bloody vigilante and I'm slightly offended that I was mistaken for one. :P

There's at least two Avernum Trilogy threads which center on the references Jeff has made. I don't have the time to do a search, but they're there.

The door cannot be opened or passed around by any means in the game (Character Editor, Unlock Doors level 3, Dispel Barrier, Electrum Key, and so on).

Well, remember how crazy Unlock Doors level 3 is in A3? Use that, and you'll probably get in.

No, the door is so powerful that even Level 3 Unlock Doors won't open it (thus the need for unsavory methods). Alternately, you could go find the key which the special tells you you need (but which doesn't exist).

whats the "fightand combat" bug and how do you get into that biulding with no doors in new cotra
The "fight-end-combat" bug is an exploitation of the game's method of placing characters when they exit combat mode; I believe, if all of your characters are in a straight line, you will be moved one space forward. It's used to get over specials you don't want to trigger.

Of course, I really don't understand how this would help you get into Erika's private chambers in A3. There's a locked door, which keeps the fight-end-combat bug from working. The same is true of Sulfras' chambers.

The inaccessible building in New Cotra becomes accessible by following the directions of the Avernite operator in Sharimik and Lorlei.

Ed, you are canned. You demonstrated the fact that, while you might be repentant at certain times, you cannot maintain your desire for forgiveness. If you cannot stop yourself from acting out, you may as well be banned now rather than in a long, drawn-out drama.

An apology won't solve it because they only provoke worse responses. Most likely, nothing but time and forgetfulness will solve this problem. Just take a long break from these boards before you are forced to.

I think the idea was to make sound which resembles language, but not communication. If it were true language, anyone who spoke the language would hear the same phrases over and over while in town.

I don't recall that bit... Was it right near the end... after he describes them playing a board game?

No, I think it was closer to the middle. I think he was writing about the memory in his journal.

EDIT: Or possibly telling the story to Julia.
