I'm feeling sadistic in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Saturday, January 27 2007 07:47 Profile Homepage #27 Well my original idea was to just boot them from the scenario if they loaded an improper file. The problem with that is that if a player accidentally saves over their save file with an improper one, they're screwed. Which would tick off a lot of people. It can be fixed-- TM's system is about a million times better-- but I'm too lazy to go back and fix Frostbite to make it work. Oh, and "Load Point" just doesn't have the same ring to it. :P Thralni: It basically is just a new wrinkle in gameplay, nothing plot specific. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Annual Contest Survey in Blades of Exile
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Friday, January 26 2007 16:54 Profile Homepage #1 Out of the contests, which do you feel had the highest quality of entrants? The Fourth I guess. Out of the contests, which do you feel had the lowest quality of entrants? Probably the third. Apology and Brotherhood rocked, but it got thin in a hurry after that. Out of the contests, which results do you most agree with? The Sixth Out of the contests, which results do you least agree with? Well the 3rd was pretty questionable, but instead I'll go with the First BoA contest. What is your favorite scenario out of those who won a contest? Emulations Which scenario do you most think should have won its contest that hasn't?* APOLOGY GOT SCREWED!1!!! Which contest winner do you most think should not have won its contest?* Masks Do you plan to enter the 9th Contest when it comes? Yes Do you plan to judge the 9th Contest when it comes? Yes Overall, which contest do you think was the best, in your opinion, taking everything into account? The Fourth. Great scenarios, results were pretty consistent. All around good. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 \| Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00

I'm feeling sadistic in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Thursday, January 25 2007 15:49 Profile Homepage #10 Well it's impossible to stop them from actually saving. So if they overwrite their save file accidentally, they'll have to make it to the next save point without dying to overwrite it with a legit file, or just suffer the stat penalty. Is it intrusive? I don't know, some people might say it is. That said, it's a new challenge, and at least with the new "mobile save" people who don't want said challenge can just ignore it with just a stat penalty. The penalty will only be an issue for people using the prefab, who are looking for a challenge to begin with and probably wouldn't be bothered by the save point issue. Thanks for the feedback thusfar, keep it coming. :P -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot? Posts: 900 \| Registered: Monday, August 8 2005 07:00
I'm feeling sadistic in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Thursday, January 25 2007 14:57 Profile Homepage #5 OK, what if I included a function where you get 1 or 2 mobile save points? It's a short scenario, so two should be enough to get through the scenario, even if you get in a jam and need to leave the computer. Perhaps using a mobile save would cause a stat to drop, or lose a potion, or some other penalty? Any thoughts on whether this would make things better/worse would be appreciated. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

I'm feeling sadistic in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Thursday, January 25 2007 13:18 Profile Homepage #0 The idea: allow the player to save only on save points (Think Final Fantasy). I originally was brainstorming a way to use save points with a branching plot in mind, basically to discourage the player from selecting every option to get the plot result he/she wants, but came up with nothing better than "Please only save on Save Points". Well I came up with a way to pull it off while in the middle of Frostbite, which certainly isn't a branching plot. I figured I'd include it anyhow, to work out any kinks for future uses. So, my fellow Blades enthusiasts, it is now time for my question: How much would this system annoy you? A simple yes/no answer is all I need, "Yes I'd like it or at least play it", "No, It'd annoy me enough to stop playing." I understand a lot depends on how it's executed in game; for this poll just try to think how much it'd please/bother you to not be able to save whenever you want.

I had F Lock on (Who knows why) and after complaining to my dad about how F10 wasn't working, he figured it out. It works now, although I don't know why the shortcuts were still working when F Lock was on. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

8th Contest Comments Up! in Blades of Avernum
Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Monday, January 15 2007 07:01 Profile Homepage #13 I think both Slarty and Bain's averages should be listed. Slarty's tell whether a judge deterred far from the consensus, while Bains tell whether a judge was particularly "friendly" or "unfriendly." (For Example, Bain is very unfriendly, TM is very friendly.) This way designers can lament how the luck of the draw and what judges they got stuck with is the reason they lost. :P Oh, and you can see some of Tyran's longer reviews at the Lyceum; for some reason he felt it necessary to chop them down to one-liners for the purpose of the contest. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind.

Avernum 2 Singleton[Almost] in The Avernum Trilogy

I can't say I've ever played Exile 1, though out of the Avernum's I think A1 was the hardest in the early goings and thus the roughest on singletons.
