I don't really ever use the keyboard, unless I'm looking for secret doors. In any other scenario, I use the mouse for moving all the time. -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post. Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

I never use mouse movement for Avernum. Keypad is so much more intuitive. -------------------- Ignorwhat? Posts: 301 | Registered: Thursday, October 2 2003 07:00 |

quote:No, E3 didn't have that - leastways not in Windows. I should know, I remember those long nights of "*click*click*click*click*click*click*click* click*click*click*click*click*click*click*click*click*". Sister: Are you playing that dumb game again? Me: How did you know? They keyboard of course allowed rapid movement just by holding the key. The mouse didn't, hence the noise. The Avernum games had it though. It's a very convenient feature for walking long distances (and I hope this is what Drakey means by point and click). On the other hand, the Geneforge way of imitating real-time strategy games was a bit nauseating. Select a group of characters by dragging a box around them? At least they didn't respond with some stupid "Aye Sir" whenever ordered to move. In the beginning, I nearly tried to send the serviles off to gather wood and stone a la Age of Empires. :rolleyes: "Now where can I make a new Shaper?"

I guess an holidays release could be more profitable, although tradition indicates around March 2006 for Mac release, and earlier summer for Windows release. But I'm just speculating. -------------------- Visit the Blades of Avernum Center and the Beta Testing Center -------------- "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ."

Drakey, could you clarify the statement you made in the "A4 Almost Doomed!" thread? quote:Does this mean movement will be exclusively with the mouse, or just that mouse movement will be an option?

I do hope A4 doesn't rely too heavily on Geneforge graphics. Overuse of Geneforge graphics would I'm sure take away from the experience. -------------------- I stop rubber at 160km/h, five times a week. CANUCKS RESPEK! My Style The Knight Between Posts.

Did use of Nethergate graphics in Avernum detract from the Avernum experience? I would expect about the same level of graphic retention. —Alorael, who is perfectly happy to see good Geneforge graphics recycled. Maybe servant minds and serviles don't have as much of a place in Avernum and won't reappear. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'm guessing that the monster plague is caused by Grah-Hoth since he can't really die and he probably had a chance to do some evil mojo during the Tower of Magi incident. Posts: 227 | Registered: Thursday, January 24 2002 08:00 |

I mean the Geneforge graphics such as the shaper etc. I hope if your party contains humans they don't have to look like shapers or guardians. Other elements are fine in crossing over.

I'm sure the Geneforge Gazer/Eyebeast graphics will be used though.

I always use mouse movement. I especially like it in Avernum, where you can hold the button in and move about 30 mph. Even on BoE, I don't mind the rapid clicking to get somewhere. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

I usually use the keyboard in Exile/Avernum and rarely use the mouse, but I like having the option. A combination of Exile/Avernum/GF movement would be interesting. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |
