The K and A thing is purely coincidence.

If I want a mindless dungeon crawl, I'll play Marathon (yes, I know). If I want to play something fun and challenging, there's linear BoE scenarios. -------------------- "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!

Sorry. No refunds. And asking for a title is a sure way to ensure that you will not get one. -------------------- "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!

Now there are two pairs of connecting titles. Khoth and Arctic and Kel and Aran.

Umm ... don't mess with that. You're not in the editor.

Imban's would be the new title for an old member. Saunders' is not the other.

I love Parry in my Guardian, at least in GF2 and GF3. Dexterity isn't really that important, at least early on. Quicksilver items can help a Guardian the most, IMO, since the spellcraft reductions mean nothing. A fyora or drayk is always a welcome friend.

The party are not the main characters in the world, however. Why should they be? Why should six (or four) level 10 characters be able to avert the war between giant nations? They are just caught up in small parts of the war, unable to influence main events but still able to do things. quote:Posturing and ego? I defend linearity because I believe that linear scenarios are better scenarios. I play Blades for the stories and the challenge. I like tactical combat, and I like puzzles. I like things to be thrown at me in a new way, and I like to be swept up in a story and have the scenario forcefully move me along. It's always nice if people acknowledge things that I've done. But that doesn't necessarily make things linear or nonlinear. It just makes the scenario better or worse. -------------------- "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!

Two titles are still missing! One is an old title for an old member with a new member number.

Why is replay value so important, though? Beta-testers have to play through a scenario many times anyway. If you want two scenarios in one, why not just play two scenarios? -------------------- "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!

The ACs are, IMO, more about the immersive world than the main storyline, which is why I classify them as non-linear. Just because it has an overarching storyline doesn't mean that it is a 'linear scenario'. They give plenty of options to the party alongside the main plot. Something else I've said before is that in a good linear scenario, the party doesn't want to do anything beyond where the author is pushing them. I never felt like I needed to sell items in An Apology, which is a good thing because there were no stores. I went along with the direction of the scenario because it made perfect sense.
