How the hell can Blades of Avernum, a game with 1 quality scenario, be better than Blades of Exile, a game with +50 quality scenarios? Simple maths, people. (Oh, but who am I kidding?

WHY are people voting so much for A3? It's okay, but has such boring and non-tactical combat. IMO it's the only game in the trilogy inferior to its exile equivalent.

Blades of Exile is the best game so far, and Blades of Avernum will be as good once it gets the number of good scenarios that BoE has acquired over seven years of designing. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Galactic Core, just to be different.  No, just kidding.BoA will be tons better than BoE, I think, just because of what the scripting makes possible and easier. With BoA, even I could probably design a scenario, which I could never do with BoE. Edit: 1500 Posts! Cool, another round number, halfway to Guru...

Nethergate would have been my choice, and as such I abstain from voting in protest. -------------------- Stughalf "The death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others."- Theodore Roosevelt, 1903.

BoE and BoA aren't fair comparisons. When you pit hundreds of scenarios by dozens of people against the work of one man, of course he comes out second best. So yes, those two are great, but it remains to be seen which of the two will be better. ?Alorael, who otherwise likes Nethergate for being different and A2 for being longer and the best of the Avernum games. A2 probably takes his vote, just because. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I don't know - I feel a lot more comfortable in the BoE editor.

Oh, btw, just cause I'm too lazy (and not feeling spamful enough) to start a new topic in BoA: Are the town entrances still firmly linked to terrain types, or is it possible to make any single square on a map a town entrance without setting a special territory type? -------------------- Visit The Santharian Dream and its RP board.

BoA is much more difficult to use than BoE, but it also gives far more options. I'd guess that fewer scenarios will be made, but for those who love to use technical tricks, BoA will present endless possiblities and that will result in great scenarios. ?Alorael, who also maintains the hope that the steeper learning curve will cut down on the number of truly awful things produced. We really don't need any more Inn of Tramps. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Aran, if you look at towns in the Avernum games, you'll see that they're multiple terrain spots.

Exile 2, first one I ever played, still my favorite. I never registered BoE, so I wouldn't know. The only reason I could think to register it would be to make scenarios and play others, but I can't script so I decided not to. -------------------- Live teh fez.
