I'm starting Avernum 2 soon, and I could use some party creation tips in The Avernum Trilogy

Member # 869	written Wednesday, November 1 2006 12:58 Profile Homepage #8 quote: Originally written by Askman: When making a mage and a priest, I do want high Intelligence for spell power, but also good Dexterity for avoiding hits, since the spellcasters will be a little more fragile, right? ALso, should I invest in a weapon skill for the priest, like maybe archery, or would the skill points be better invested in more spell points or possibly tool skills? I don't bother with Dexterity on spellcasters. They shouldn't be getting attacked anyway. I do like giving some archery skill to priests. It complements their spellcasting abilities very nicely. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Member # 869	written Tuesday, October 31 2006 01:27 Profile Homepage #136 quote: Originally written by Dintiradan: quote: I have actually considered making a demon scenario that would concentrate on why the demons are "evil." I'll probably never make it though since it would just turn out to be another monster plague scenario. And I'm up to here with (my) monster plague scenarios. Speak of the... demon. This sounds like the puny scenario that I'm constantly revising and will never be released. It also sounds a lot like Khoth's BoE scenario, which is called, appropriately enough, Demon. (No monster plagues, though.) [ Tuesday, October 31, 2006 01:28: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

En sú kona var ein af ása ætt, hún er nefnd Gefjun. Hún tók fjóra öxn norðan úr Jötunheimum, en það voru synir jötuns og hennar, og setti þá fyrir plóg. En plógurinn gekk svo hart og djúpt að upp leysti landið, og drógu öxnirnir það land út á hafið og vestur og námu staðar í sundi nokkru. Þar setti Gefjun landið og gaf nafn og kallaði Selund. Og þar sem landið hafði upp gengið var þar eftir vatn. Það er nú Lögurinn kallaður í Svíþjóð, og liggja svo víkur í Leginum sem nes í Selundi. Svo segir Bragi skáld gamli: [snip] ---- ---Bad Thuryl!

Can I just take a moment to point out what a crying shame it is that the Romancing SaGa series didn't get translated? They really are completely unlike any other RPGs ever made for the SNES. Unfortunately, only RS3 has a fan translation available, and the translation kinda sucks. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, October 28 2006 18:39 Profile Homepage #25 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: The conclusion I came to is this. If the people really want to murder to get ahead, they are within their rights to overthrow the government and put in place a new one where murder is legal. Why overthrow the government when it's so much easier to just avoid getting caught? A government's moral rights, in your view, only extend as far as its ability to enforce its authority. All available evidence suggests that there are plenty of people for whom crime does pay -- and as long as you're getting away with it, does it matter exactly how you're doing so? -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The point I am making is that your ethical system has no basis on which to condemn murder except by baldly asserting that it's bad. quote: I think we can all agree that senseless killing is bad. To the people who engage in it, it's neither senseless nor bad. Murderers are displaying their willingness to do anything to accomplish their goals, no matter who else it hurts. Aren't these exactly the sort of people you admire? In fact, anyone who refrains from murder simply because it's illegal is letting the government impose its will on them, which, in your view, must place them among the weak.

Government is nessesary to maintain order. No system of economy will work unless the variables of murder and theft are taken out of the picture. These are things no one can protect themselves from. Even the strongest person who ever lived was not immune to being killed or stolen from. Oh, I see.

Is this possible? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, October 28 2006 06:22 Profile Homepage #1 Yes, it's possible to change PC graphics. The only way to do it is to modify the graphics files themselves, replacing a PC graphic you don't want to use with a new one. On a Mac, the file you want is "Blades of Avernum Graphics" in the Blades of Avernum Files folder. You'll have to ask someone else to help you if you're using Windows. Note that SW will not host any scenario that requires the player to modify the default graphics files. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!
