Do you play music when playing Avernum? in The Avernum Trilogy

Wow. You recognized it just from the small description I gave?

At any rate, Total Annihilation does have excellent music. I actually wanted to have some of the music in a format that could be used outside of the game, but couldn't find any sort of soundtrack, or files on the game CD. I know I would play those tracks in both Avernum and Geneforge. :cool:

I'm glad I had enough sense to stay inside. I'd be a Niocacicle by now. I'm also very glad I'm not in Shadow Vale. I think things are going to get very nasty in there before they get found. If they get found.

Hey... I just had a great idea...

LOST: SHADOW VALE EDITION.

Eh, maybe not.

"This" Vs. "That"? Min/Max questions in Avernum 4
Shaper
Member # 7472

It may be because A4 was switched over to a brand-new engine. Spellcraft wasn't in the previous Avernums, but Magery was. Spellcraft was adopted from another Spiderweb series, Geneforge, and the skill worked on the same principles as Magery. When some of the elements of Geneforge were built into the new Avernum engine, slight oversights may have been made.

Or, more likely, Magery is a sort of bonus for powerful mages. A cheaper way to boost the power of your spells.

I had a game like that. It was an RTS, which allowed you to reassign either the default tracks or your own music to certain categories (Peaceful, Combat, etc.). I preferred the in-game music though.

Mage/Priest skill if you're just starting out, Spellcraft if you have a fairly high levels of Mage/Priest skill and are part way through the game. don't neglect Mage/Priest spells, though. Keep adding a point to it now and then.

quote:
+1 to [Mage/Priest] or +1 Magery?
Same as above.

quote:
+1 to Spellcraft or +1 to Magery?
Whichever one's cheaper at the moment. They both have the same effect.

Looking at the screenshots... The graphics are so good that I almost thought this was a big budget title. Wow. And yes, I like the new fyora graphic. Although when it's facing NW, it tends to look like a fire lizard from Avernum.

Fat chance of that happening. Oh well, I can always join the scripting contest. I think I have some very good entries for it, too.

I've done that before, except I use MP3 songs. I stopped, because Windows Media Player started having some fun with me.

Nothing says 'fight to the death' like an old, twangy country song. :rolleyes:

I believe that humans are born with some leanings towards either good or evil, but 92 times out of 100, it depends on how they're raised.

EDIT: Sullest has a point, though. Most humans today are motivated by a 'what's in it for me' factor.

No tag backs! in General
Shaper
Member # 7472

There's just one thing I want to say on the fighting back issue: This isn't the same world as the one most of you grew up in. Most of you grew up in a world were it was normal to settle disputes with fists. A few people get beaten up, but the only actual damage done was to your ego. Fighting back was just beating the crap out of someone, basically. However, as of the twenty-first century, things changed drastically. They no longer fight with just fists, but with knives, and on some occasions, guns. Fighting back now simply isn't a matter of how brave (or cowardly) you are, but if you are willing to risk your life for that one moment of revenge.

So consider if you had a son or daughter who was being bullied. Imagine he/she retaliated, and got him or herself killed. Would you be proud that your kid fought back, even though he/she was dead? Would you be proud that, even though he/she could easily have had a full, happy life, he/she instead died in some foolish squabble that he/she could just as easily walked away from?

Perhaps those that don't fight back aren't as cowardly as you think they are. Perhaps they're just smarter.

What clobbering? Who has a copy of Homeland? Why am I asking these ridiculous questions when I already know the answer?

Seriously, I didn't mean to clobber you over the head with a suggestion (Whatever that means...). I just tend to get a little ahead of myself. In my defense, however, I do NOT have a copy of Homeland. If someone was clobbering you over the head with Homeland, I'd suggest you look Dintiradan's way. ;)

EDIT: Who's Dintiradab?
