Author	Topic: Avernum -v- Exile
Dyl Apprentice Member # 5739	written Thursday, April 21 2005 12:50 Profile #0 Just a Question. I was wondering how many people feel that the exile series is better than the Avernum series. I have to Go with Exile because it is unbeatable imo. -V- Posts: 24 \| Registered: Thursday, April 21 2005 07:00
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, April 21 2005 13:08 Profile Homepage #1 Please please please not again. :rolleyes: The next 30 posts below summarized: - TM, Creator and almost everyone else of the BoE crew will argue that due to Blades of Exile alone, the Exile series beats Avernum, - Several newer designers will point out that Blades does indeed rule, but it is Blades of Avernum that rules more, - Other members will give their voice either to Exile (the "purists"/the "nostalgic"), or to Avernum (the "modernists"). - A horde of newbies will say they don't care crap about those "scenario makers", because the games have far too much confusing plot, and will argue that Exile and Avernum suck compared to Geneforge, - The rest of Spiderweb will alternatively post "Oh no not again", "Shut the crap up you noob", or just " :rolleyes: ", while the more vocal of members will post images like this... or this. Or worse. Then, Alorael or Imban or some other kind soul will lock the topic, and we have peace again until the next newbie makes this thread.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, April 21 2005 15:59 Profile Homepage #10 Okay, let us consider this a welcome topic instead. Welcome, Dyl! You have learned the first lesson in Spidwebbery: leave your sanity at the door. You have also learned the second: Exile and Avernum make for a good but fruitless argument. —Alorael, who will provide enlightenment as to the nature of the third lesson: it is better to ignore angry people than to provoke them. They are undoubtedly more experienced at dishing it out than you are at returning it. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
demonslay3r Guardian Member # 2238	written Thursday, April 21 2005 16:04 Profile Homepage #11 The fourth lesson being: Oldbies who make funny of you always use "hilarious" (read: makes no sense) degrading statements. Yet, any insults you throw, regardless of content, is considered immature and incorrect, and you are painted as an over-weight Nazi-lover. In other words... it's impossible to win. People always have their favorites. Don't get in arguements. -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly! "I've never heard such thoughtful comments.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, April 21 2005 16:39 Profile Homepage #12 The fifth lesson being: On Spiderweb, minds work differently. As an example, the adequate reaction to finding a thread you disagree with is posting an image of a goat. Anyone who has been here for longer than half a year understands this, though few can explain it (and those who can, don't want to). Different culture, different customs. Eventually, it will all make sense, if you stay long enough. The downside: The outside world will make a whole lot less sense. :P -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

bogus standard candidate Infiltrator Member # 4592	written Thursday, April 21 2005 20:41 Profile #18 Welcome Dyl! Are there any Guinnes around that you would care to share with the rest of us? (it has been months since I've tasted one because in this distant and pedestrian outpost we get no Guinnes) Nethergate. (Exile: because. (Nostalgia in part, purism (yikes, it sounded like purina for a second), and BoE.) (Avernum: because. (can't beat how most humans look the same, I love the fake three dimensional landscapes, many other reasons, and BoA) (Geneforge: Because. (hmmm, well I have many good reasons, I hope, since I've invested too many hours playing them) Not Quite SpiderWeb But Still Related In A Way: (SubTerra: Because I've downloaded the demo at least half a dozen times, but I never get myself to register it and I know I darn well should) (Richard White Games: because I've never played any of them except: (Homeland: I reserve the rationale for this one since it will be engraved in my tombstone and I'm too superstitious to say anything.) -------------------- quote: "I suffer from spiritual malaise," said Cugel meaningfully.
