Anyway, since our bandwidth here is supposedly quite limited (supposedly), it makes sense that we should have HTML disabled. But then again, we could make our posts web pages themselves, easily post a web page itself, and whatnot. :P

No, keep it disabled. *sigh*

If you don't have any idea what you're talking about, don't say anything at all.

I'd put Aizo and Vantanas closer to Pralgad and Vantanas. I think Aizo should be NE of Pralgrad with Vantanas S or SE of Aizo.

It would be nice if you could read the other thread where this is talked about ad infinitum. Especially the part about how the graphics are preliminary.

you mean, normal plain scripts which I can look in like in BoA, or scripts that are totally different than BoA?

And, the way you said it, it sound (to me) like something bad. is it?

Pretty much the same, although some calls have been changed (gf instead of get_flag, etc.).

The Ogre Chef is actually a chef. There is also a Goblin Chef. Unfortunately, I can't tell you more for fear of spoiling the plot.

Yes, there are scripts.

It's most likely because I have the most caching as possible enabled to make page loading faster, which leads to slightly off post counts.

Weird Vahnatai in The Avernum Trilogy
Triad Mage
Member # 7
Profile Homepage #7
First of all - read this website in its entirety: Vahnatai Week.

Next:

quote:
1. How do they spin those disks so far with their spindly little arms?
Vahnatai are surprisingly strong - they are stronger than humans and Nephilim. Also, razordisks are like shuriken.
quote:
2. What does a pregnant Vahnatai look like? Or do they lay eggs? Or crystals?
They have a live birth much like humans, and their loose flowy robes do a great job hiding their bellies. That said, no human has ever observed a pregnant Vahnatai.
quote:
3. How does one stitch mold into a cloak?
Very carefully.
quote:
4. For a race that's so "superior," they sure have a lot of hatred to spread.
Not so. Only half of one clan of Vahnatai are rageaholics. Remember people like Bon-Ihrno? They're the norm.
quote:
5. I have a theory. The Vahnatai alphabet goes something like this:

a - crystal
b - crystal
c - crystal soul
d - soul crystal
e - crystal
f - crystal
g - crystal
h - fine crystal
i - crystal
j - piercing crystal
k - "Death to Empire! Death to Humans! Crystals are great!"
l - crystal
m - crystal
n - unshackling crystal
o - crystal
p - endless razordisks for adventurers to pickup and sell for infinite gold
q - crystal
r - quickfire
s - crystal
t - mold
u - is
v - yummy
w - Chitrach
x - legacy
y - power
z - crystal
See website.
quote:
6. Aren't the Vahnatai getting tired of those waveblades yet?
No. After all, they can be enchanted and used to get into difficult-to-open pickle jars.
quote:
7. With all the time they've spent around humans, you'd think a few Vahnatai language professors would be able to talk human talk pretty clearly by now!
Many can, but word order and syntax are confusing to them.
quote:
8. WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FREAKIN' CRYSTALS!!!???

Exile I was new and novel.

Exile II had the most original and fun plot.

Exile III was a bit loopy, but still new (the surface! Wow!)

I liked VoDT and ASR, ZKR and DwtD not so much.

Geneforge 1 was new and novel all over again, GF2 started to feel rehashed, and GF3 was rehashed.

To do people standing up, the directions have to be tilted, or else some sides would never be seen, and it would be impossible to move behind walls, trees, etc.

It is turn-based.

Kel, what you described did not seem like a description of Avernum 3. And Avernum 4 does not have "monster plagues."

someone's created monster plagues. Go and kill a bunch of stuff. Oh, and it was the vahnatai. Why? Because they're still mad about the same thing as before.
If that's all there is, I'll eat my hat. I believe it will be far more in-depth and far less Vahnatai-oriented than you think.

As for the interface, it feels much better than GF, but nowhere near the squeaky cleanliness of Exile III and BoE (Jeff's best two games gameplay-wise, IMO).

As for size, it will be bigger than Avernum 1, but more than that it's hard to say right now.
