I'm really surprised to not see any posts about this at all today but... ...for anyone concerned, NDA's for beta testing Avernum 4 have been going out today. -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

Well, they're "hiding" messages in the posts through the use of bold letters. I agree that it's getting a little annoying at this point, having turned into more of a posting game than honest speculation. Guys, if you have something to say, say what you mean -- the bold-letter thing got old a couple of pages ago. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Rentar-Ihrno always gets feminine pronouns in Exile and Avernum. All the other Crystal Souls are Boks, so Rentar-Ihrno isn't even in the proper category for crystallization. She's also not an isolated rogue like Delrin-Bok and Casser-Bok, and there's no insanity to her malevolence. —Alorael, who can't remember now whether Casser was the only flawed Crystal Soul and Delrin was just lonely or if both of them weren't quite right in the upper pointy bit any more.

Somehow I get the feeling that this cryptic "Play Za-Khazi Run" is some sort of hidden message Drakey is trying to convey. Maybe he's bound by the NDA but this is some sort of subtle way of telling us about Avernum 4? He can't be actually recommending it — he rated the BoE and BoA versions 4 and 5.7 respectively on the Lyceum. Perhaps A4 deals with the slith war or something? Or maybe the plagues of monsters mentioned in the A4 description are used in ZKR? What about those monsters Morog sends you to kill? Are they connected? -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0...

He hinted, on an earlier page, that the sliths would play a significant role. The Za-Khazi run is about a big war with the sliths. Posts: 293 | Registered: Saturday, May 29 2004 07:00 |

Perhaps he is commenting upon my lack of knowledge of Casser-Bok, although in point of fact I commented on my lack of knowledge on Delrin-Bok. —Alorael, who feels no urge to replay ZKR in any case. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Might I inquire as to the purpose of that quote Drakey? If it is for promotional purposes, it does have a nice effect. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Ah. In my opinion that it sounds like a nice difference. Have those of you testing it found it so? -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I'm really surprised how much more "Avernum" the screenshots on RPG Vault look with the combat grid under them. Here's hoping that eventually the Geneforge Guardian graphic will bite the dust in favor of a more normal-looking human. Posts: 93 | Registered: Saturday, June 1 2002 07:00 |

Alex—I don't know about anyone else, but I haven't been given access to the beta test yet. I think Jeff may be waiting for the majority of the NDA's to come in and send out access all at once. Not sure though, since I haven't done this before. -------------------- [Insert Signature Here] Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |
