Solberg is a lot older than he was in A2. The guy can barely stand and see now.

Talk to Solberg in Patrick's Tower. Kill the demon beneath the tower and you will get the quest for Demonslayer.

If leaving the town is the worry, a possible compromise is to the exiting town situation is just to call the relevant node in the EXIT_STATE if the party leaves before the timer runs out.

Also, do not forget that combat mode allows increased mobility.

I would say BoA he took a decent number of suggestions. During beta testing, suggestions as to balance and such get taken. However, in terms of big issue things, rarely.

It is possible to fight the pylons by sending your main fighter in and then keeping archers/casters out of the attack range. But yeah, you do not need to fight any of the pylons.

You need to get Solberg to give you the quest before you can get this. Once you have this, leave Fort Emerald from the north, head west, and hug the northern wall. You should find it.

Demonslayer is a bit disappointing. It's a good defensive weapon, but offensively you can do much better.

I don't know then, perhaps it is a bug. I believe you can still get through the tunnel without doing this quest, however.

Please do not double post. Did you play around with the lever outside the hut? Experiment with it in both positions.

Please do not double post. To enter the Darkside Loyalist lair, you need to enter from Erika's Tower itself, the west side of the river. You will not be able to get there until almost the end of the game.

Restart your computer, try again. If that does not work, open the active programs window and shut off whatever programs look like they should not be open.

Time Limit Discussion in Blades of Avernum

quote:
As for the time limit, I still think it's a good idea if it forces the Heroes to choose between saving the cursed town or stopping the Vahnatai. Lately, I've been thinking of scrapping the cursed town altogether (making the hook something like 'explore for mineral deposits'). As others have said, as the scenario stands, it is probably too complicated. Any ideas?
If your intention is to force a choice, then actually make the choice forced. If you stop the Vahnatai, then the cursed town falls, period. If you save the town, the Vahnatai do whatever bad thing they are going to do which I'm not sure exactly what it is.

If its dillema you want, be sure you make it a real and believable one with benefits and costs on both sides.

quote:
In virtually any scenario? i don't think so. in scenario's in wich there is an immediate threat, like in this one, okay. but if not, I don't see the point of a time limit.
Yes, there are some static scenarios that could do without a time limit. However, one could have easily implemented a time limit in VoDT, ASR, and DwTD had he wanted to. I could have made At the Gallows have a time limit, same with Spears. Heck, Avernum 2 and Avernum 4 could have even had a time limit.

Would it have made sense? Probably. Would it have made any of them better? Hard to say, but probably worse.

It does not take much to write in a time dilemma. However, a time limit should probably only be used in a sense where it is vitally central to the storyline. The time limit should, in a sense, be the most important character in the game. If a scenario cannot go to that level, a time limit is just an extra thing to please the designer.

Although I really hate time limits and despise of them, even when justified, I think this scenario could have a time limit without any problem. The reason is totaly obvious: An army is about to attack a town. if there's no time limit, then when does the attack take place? i can't have taken place yet, or else the scenario wouldn't really have a goal anymore. If the attck will never happen, no ultimatum from the vahnatai to put pressure on you, that what of a scenario will it be? Just walk around hopelesly and the attack will never come?
Obvious? I'm sure one could justify a time limit in virtually ANY scenario, but that does not mean one SHOULD have one. If one makes the NPCs seem nervous and otherwise creates a world where the attack seems imminent, then it works just as well, and even better.

Of course, understanding the nature of the "attack" would make this discussion a lot better.

I believe so. The best way to get functionality questions answered is to set up a short test script and test it yourself.
