Bain - Random BoE scenarios? I have no idea.

But just in case that wasn't confusing enough...

Demon Echoes of the Bahssikava Club that watch the Grey Moon of Chicken Plague Spheres and the Doom Moon of Lost Tunnels full of Bandits.

Phew. I hope that's all of them.

I've got one.

Mad Lord Putidus caused A Large Rebellion in the Canopy of Bahssikava when Backwater Emerald Mountain was found by Druids of Krell searching for the Roses of Reckoning in the Cave of No Return.

Right now, I'm working on two. Agadia Isle, which I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about ( :) ), and The Escort. The Escort will likely get finished before Agadia, as it's a lot smaller and simpler.

Originally written by Alorael:

There was a two year gap between the portal's closing and the Empire War and then 12 more years until A3. That's not enough time to settle Valorim!
Why not? Avernum was settled in approximately 10 years (767 IE for the first people, 777 IE when Avernum was established), and it's probably only slightly smaller than Valorim.

quote:
More by Alorael:
The Empire might use magic to build its major forts, but I think even province capitals are likely to be plain old stone. There's no indication that the construction is unusual in the games, and there's no uniform style (Lorelei stands out!) to indicate a common origin. Even Krizsan, presumably the last city to be setled because of its location, is fairly large and bustling. Even with magical help, it would take decades for settlement to reach that far south unless every town started with only one family.
How is that so unfeasible? There's a good chance that multiple expeditions were made to Valorim. Otherwise, even if they were settled for 75 years, there's probably a low chance that it would be at it's level of development that is present in A3.

quote:
Alorael's Gimmick:
—Alorael, who checked the Encyclopedia Ermariana and discovered that Valorim is home to about 10 million humans, most of whom are second and third generation settlers. That indicates somewhere between 50 and 75 years of settlement, and to him personally it reinforces his lack of faith in the EE.
Either that, or the Valorim settlers breed like erotomaniac bunnies.

The shaper teacher in GF3 has red robes. Other than that, though, it is weird that most shapers wear blue. The mages wear blue as well, come to think of it. Maybe it's symbolic of their connection to essence? Or perhaps blue is a color of power in the shaper world.

Or perhaps Jeff just likes blue.

To get into the guard room, you need a copper key granted to you by Ithik in the peninsula camp. The brass key is on one of the barbarians.

EDIT: Kelandon beat me to it. However, I didn't think you got the copper key in the fort.

I find the whole "wild frontier" aspect of Valorim overdone. It's got large cities and plenty of towns. It has roads everywhere. It has ancient ruins! I think people have been there for a century at least, and there's definitely no way everything from Delis to Blackcrag could have been settled in the few years between the Empire War and A3.
Alorael, this is the Empire you're talking about here. Besides, the portals were shut down before the Empire War. Also, I'm not sure if you noticed the lack of grand citadels and fortresses. Blackcrag had nothing on The Castle. Finally, how long did it take them to build a gigantic, nearly impenetrable wall around most of Footracer? A month? If they can pull that type of feat off on fairly short notice, I think they had the capability to settle Valorim in a fairly short timespan. Don't forget, there were only a few cities that could be considered major in Valorim. Most of them were small villages or trading posts.

I don't feel the need to use an icon unless it has some close relation to the post. I have used the arrow, lightbulb, caution, question, cool, sad, grin, and thumbs up icons.

Jeff tends to use the lightbulbs a lot, though. Maybe because he's an exceptionally bright person, or perhaps he's looking for a virtual tan. :D

With a space as big as the surface, who's to say that there was only ONE PORTAL! They gathered all the people to be sent down all into one portal? That's nonsense! There must've been at least 2 per continent, AT LEAST. With that in mind, could there be other places people were sent? Places inhabited that we have not seen or heard about? :confused:

What do y'all think about this in relation to the upcoming Avernum 5? :cool:

Actually, they would probably only need three, if that was the case. I don't think Valorim would have had a portal yet, since it was only just settled in the time frame of A3, and the teleporting stopped shortly after A1.

However, it's a definite possibility.

If Dikiyoba doesn't finish the story, there's no chance of the rebellion succeeding. So it's sort of a lose-lose situation. So this may mean he's just trying to keep the rebellion alive at all costs, via keeping Dikiyoba alive.

Does that 'welcome our newest member' thing on the main page always (supposed to be) there, or does it disappear when someone new hasn't signed up recently?

It's just that I can't help noticing that it has disappeared.

On the flip side of the coin, when it comes to BoA selling poorly, it also somewhat limited the potential for a flood of bad scenarios. In BoE, there are 95 scenarios rated a 6 or more, and 112 scenarios rated 4 or less (This isn't counting movies or utilities). That's a ratio of 1.17 bad scenarios for every good scenario. In BoA, there are 22 scenarios rated 6 or more, and 4 scenarios rated 4 or less. This equates to a ratio of 5.5 good scenarios for every bad scenario. I'll let you draw your own conclusion.
