An idea, and hear me out on this... in Blades of Avernum Editor

Squirrel, Roses of Reckoning sorta sucked.

But, ya know, that's just one out of something like 20 scenarios he's designed. Out of those, I'd say at least 15 are better, most of them much better.

Now, on the other hand, there's one of you, and you suck.

I think TM has a better track record here.

Wasn't at a computer where I had e-mail access at the time I wrote that message.

Still, I want to see (on the boards) if people think this is worth bothering Jeff over.

There's about no chance of this actually happening, but in my not at all humble opinion, the "ultimate potion" needs to be replaced in BoA.

It's a Potion of Invulnerability. Never mind that an earlier potion is easier to make and works better in every conceivable way (yes, it DOES give invulnerability, and for a greater duration), it's a potion of INVULNERABILITY, man!

Seriously, just put Knowledge Brews back in as creatable potions or something. They'd go a long way towards letting parties grow at high levels, when it takes a bazillion skill points to increase a stat by one point.

Jeff's rep and the Perils of Creating a Scenario Editor in General

quartex - Well, maybe he shouldn't have made BoE. He would have never had me as a customer if he hadn't.

Anyway, part of it is that a scenario editor is HARD to make, because people might do things that are totally unexpected.

However, several possible expected uses in BoE don't work at all. Petrification Touch, for instance. It's listed as a possible special ability for monsters. If you give it to a monster...

...it diseases players lightly on hit, and does nothing to other monsters. Awesome.

Acidic Weapons also count as Lifesaving items. Wow, what sense does that make?

Several monsters have nonsense abilities in the base scenario file because monsters with fields weren't added to that database correctly.

Meh. The Lyceum has a more complete list of stuff that doesn't work in BoE - and a lot of it seems really obvious.

Dark Elf, I hope you realize that this thread was long in its grave when you posted in it.

The original posters in it don't give a flying crap about it any more, I'm wagering, so your contribution is meaningless and annoying.

Don't post in threads on page 17 next time!

Hey, UT2K3 was fun.

Still, with 2K4 out, I don't see a pressing reason to get either earlier one if you're just getting one.

255, I'd suppose.

After a certain point, however, you're really not going to level up any more.

Eh? Killing the Tarrasque in D&D isn't all that hard if you're prepared.

But um, um, barring going dragonslaying, the canon Avernum world doesn't have anything like that.

The support he offered for BoE was in many ways less than exceptional - and, at times, less than acceptable.

So far, however, I believe that he has been quite supportive of the BoA community.

They're fine, so long as you either have some commitment to designing or each part can stand alone as an adventure.

Half of an adventure which ends in a cliffhanger is no fun, especially when the second part may never be released.

RoR is one of the few TM scenarios I bear an active distaste for.

He very much cured that bad feeling with Emerald Mountain.

Amusingly enough, one of Drizzt's BoE scenarios actually did this.

Well. If they cheat, they cheat.

You also left out leaving the town through a stairway script. It should be obvious how to stop one of those from being used.
