Should it be made at all? in Blades of Avernum

There are anywhere from 10 to 20 really good and dedicated scenario designers, and plenty more that could be with some work. New scenarios are being created now at a much faster rate than ever before.

Not going to happen. Too much for Jeff too code, and people can use an MP3 player or WinAmp for music.

Also, BoA will use a powerful scripting system to implement this, rather than BoE's lackluster node system.

Umm ... you can't really have custom races, and I don't see how you would really implement that.

It will have the same three scenarios (and a new one). It will be the same kind of complement.

In that big long thread in BoE, Jeff said no to recruitable PCs.

I believe resistances top out somewhere from 75%-90%.

NPCs can still gain levels, equipment, and skills in BoE, and I don't see why not in BoA.

Probably all on the same page, which doesn't seem too bad, considering that BoE graphics are the same way.

Well, the only size limitation about BoE was that we could only use 100 towns. BoA will use a 200 town maximum. I can definitely envision scenarios bigger and better than A3.

Custom graphics are not a pain for BoE. I put together a decent graphics sheet in about five minutes. I'm not exactly sure how the sheets will work for BoA, though.

Spells will never be editable, but items and monsters will reach never-before-seen levels of customization. They were able to be customized in BoE, but not nearly this much.

Also, I'd avoid mentioning that you tested BoE. You will definitely run into hostility on the BoE board.

Pornography is prohibited in scenarios. Language is not an issue at all. Racial and sexual issues, if directed at Sliths, Nephils, or any in-game race seems fine, just so long as you don't single out black humans or anything like that.

Still, some scenario files are over a megabyte, but they're easily compressed.

I think that with big graphics files, it can hit/top 1 MB.

I like Graphic Converter. It has some Photoshop features, at about 1/20th of the price.
