Avernum 4 Complete Wish List in The Avernum Trilogy
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 07:02 Profile Homepage #37 That's TM for you. I disagree about the Geneforges - we're a bit jaded from our Blades of Exile experience (which was quite wonderful, I might add), and I found Geneforge 1 to be quite involved and interesting because it was new, while Geneforge 2 and 3 started out interesting and new, but degenerated into boring, repetitive drudgery. EDIT: What an amazing run-on sentence. About plagues: the monster plagues are fine in my opinion, and so is Valley of the Dying Things. They are a bit clichéd (think the Bible), but I wasn't thinking about that while trying to negotiate between the troglodytes and giants.

Avernum 4 Complete Wish List in The Avernum Trilogy
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 06:56 Profile Homepage #35 To sum up TM's post: Wonk wonk wonk. I think that the Exile games were very fun. Everything you were seeing for the first time, and things changed as you went on. There is a certain thrill in sanctifying an evil altar of undead to protect Formello, and then going on to beat up a cave of Nephilim. Especially because you need to change your tactics against them. Not everything needs to be deep and insightful or radically different. quote: Where do you get the idea, though, that as a game's technology gets better the story and characters get proportionately worse? Let me site a good example: mostly every Final Fantasy game improved technically over it's predecessor yet looked better and better (and Jeff says he hates music in games). You SW people have heard of Final Fantasy before, right? [Razz] Just kidding. But Jeff doesn't have the means to create better graphics without losing focus on plot. I'm just talking about what's happened with his games. He's trying to do what he can't, and the gameplay is suffering while it attempts to look nicer. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

If you can get mages who can cast it several times a round, that doomguard will be toast in a few rounds. Then again, the Black Halberd does spawn fewer copies. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Game finished : remaining quest in Geneforge Series
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 05:58 Profile Homepage #16 Ahh, well Agents are different. Agents also increase essence through intelligence, but at a slower rate than Shapers. Agents generally focus on spell levels and attacking, and not really bothering with creations. Still, having Greta and Alwan to help doesn't hurt either. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Cave full of ghosts in Geneforge Series

Avernum 4 Complete Wish List in The Avernum Trilogy
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 04:24 Profile Homepage #32 First off, thank you for making this thread, Verelor. It's refreshing and this board really needed that. Secondly, we acknowledge that progress can be made, but we're wary, since with progress comes the potential to focus more on eye candy than on story and character development. I think from Exile to Geneforge we've seen a trend towards more 1-dimensional characters, and we tend to associate that with the modernization and newer graphics. Personally, I don't think that 'more advanced' graphics make a game better. I think that the Exile graphics are better than the Avernum graphics because they help provide a real atmosphere. You feel right in the midst of your characters, rather than looking down on them from afar in Avernum. And with such things as strategy elements, etc., most of us do not mind those things, but it's that they have no place in Avernum. Maybe in a new game, but Avernum doesn't need that, and I don't think that it would add much. I don't think that the games are monotonous - I think that they do a relatively good job of advancing the storyline quickly while still giving many hours of gameplay. I think that increasingly similar encounters with rogues in Geneforge is definitely heading towards monotony, but in the Exile and Avernum games, there is such a large variety of everything that things never get boring. You won't fight goblins for the first half of the game and then empire archers for the second half - there are so many levels of difficulty, and the monsters get stronger as you do. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Elections: The Registration Thread in General
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 04:06 Profile Homepage #95 Several members, quite a significant percentage of the voting base, have expressed concerns about pressuring, vote manipulation, and a general sense of discomfort with having their choices out in public.

Avernum V. Exile in General
Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Thursday, June 23 2005 04:02 Profile Homepage #25 Personally, I would warn all of the spammers and attempt to get the thread back on track. General needs more game related topics. As for the question, I prefer Exile to Avernum. I prefer the graphics, the spell system, skill system, combat system, and atmosphere. Exile feels like you're right down in there, and Avernum feels like you're watching from afar. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy desperance.net - We're Everywhere ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

EDIT: not to the point of unplayability, but to the point of annoyance, yes. The attacking animations already provided are fine, but when you talk about going more in depth, a line has to be drawn.
