Avernum 1: The Hardest Part spoilers in The Avernum Trilogy
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, October 31 2006 12:27 Profile Homepage #5 After going through the entire game hoarding and selling every item the party came across, resisting the lure of the treasures in the Imperial Spire was the worst. I'm serious, actually. The first time I tried it, my party was swamped by the contant flow of reinforcements. The second time, I just made a beeline to Hawthorne, weeping all the way. -------------------- End the wicked and unjust persecution of the Chuch of the Divine Lucre!

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, October 31 2006 10:19 Profile Homepage #51 quote: The Silent Assassin has gone and painted his nails purple as a statement of fashion. It makes very little sense to me... the nail gun shoots them in so deep that it's hard to tell what color they are. I'm sorry, but it needs to be said. GAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!! -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: Whatever my one vulnerability is, I will fake a different one. For example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace, screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a shave."

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Tuesday, October 31 2006 09:59 Profile Homepage #140 By Salmon: quote: What interests me is that everyone is so careful to only release good scenarios. BoE has quite a few pieces of crap, and the author not only learned from the mechanical aspect of the process, but by the critical reviews of the the work. So, by all means work on those scenarios, and finish them. Once released, they can only make you a better designer. Or kill you. Either's possible. I'm not too sure. I'm not going to beat myself up if I release a scenario that everyone hates; it'll be a learning experience, as you said. However, I can look at my scenario and see a lot that is wrong with it now. I'm not a perfectionist, and the scenario is puny anyways (one outdoor and four towns), but I'm not going to release something I know I'll regret (I'd rather release something I think I'll regret). If I wanted to, I could put several hours into my scenario straight, and then send out the beta. But after hearing Ephesos say that DoK could have been better if he didn't rush it, I'm not going to attempt to make the deadline. Of course, second year workload might have something to do with it too. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: I will be selective in the hiring of assassins. Anyone who attempt to strike down the hero the first instant his back is turned will not even be considered for the job. Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, October 30 2006 19:11 Profile Homepage #74 ... E.T., you're a lifesaver. For the past month, I've been playing around with the villain in my BoA scenario. I've never been completely satisfied with him, and it hasn't been easy for him either (I'm sure species changes are tough to recover from). Until now, I hadn't completely settled on a rationality for him. Now, I have one. I never went to a public high school, but I think that those who have get to thank John Dewey's misconstrued ideas for the calibre of education they received. -------------------- Too Nietzsche; Didn't Read Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00

By Dik: quote: Hypothetically speaking, what is the punishment for calling you Din-Din? Dikiyoba suspects it won't matter much.

One half of the forum was a garage, where tools and mechanical parts were stored.

I'll probably never make it though since it would just turn out to be another monster plague scenario. And I'm up to here with (my) monster plague scenarios. Speak of the... demon. This sounds like the puny scenario that I'm constantly revising and will never be released. Just be glad I didn't release what I had half a year ago... (Shudder.) -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: If my Legions of Terror are defeated in a battle, I will quietly withdraw and regroup instead of launching a haphazard mission to assassinate the hero.

Have you ever finish Avernum?s games in the hardest difficult? in The Avernum Trilogy
Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Monday, October 30 2006 08:07 Profile Homepage #11 If you're the type of person to do every side-quest in the game, you need to play Torment to keep the later parts of the games interesting. The only trade-off is that you need to adjust your strategies at low levels. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: If I ever MUST put a digital timer on my doomsday device, I will buy one free from quantum mechanical anomalies. So many brands on the market keep perfectly good time while you're looking at them, but whenever you turn away for a couple minutes then turn back, you find that the countdown has progressed by only a few seconds.

Dintiradan Guardian Member # 6670	written Saturday, October 28 2006 16:46 Profile Homepage #172 Hmmm... the first thing I thought was this: quote: Ephesos hadn't moved. He stood almost knee-deep in the snow with his eyes closed and snow beginning to pile up on his shoulders and head. He sensed something unusual. It was very faint, but it was there. Now, if he could only figure out what it was. Suddenly, the full force of the spam's Taint rushed into Ephesos' mind. In desperation, he clutched his copy of Embers of Rebellion. Slowly, the Taint receeded away from his mind. I probably should start pounding my head against a wall until I come up with an idea for MoS. I can't think of anything, but no one else is doing anything. By Nioca: quote: Don't forget, I'm a novice priest! ... Of course, since I'm a novice, I may not be capable of casting any spells that would be useful to defend myself. Goblins, anyone? And Nioca? One more misspelling and it's Teh Deth Ray for you. -------------------- No DikiStats this post, unfortunately. Probably because I've been coding in C all day, will begin coding in MIPS once I'm off the 'Net, and the prospect of coding anything unnecessary today is quite unappealing.
