What's the diff?

Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 02:06 Profile #0 I've done a search and "BoA" looks exactly like "Avernum 3", with a better screen layout. Do they play differently? Is the BoA Editor the big feature? Can someone point me to an answer or just tell this Avernum 3 junkie in simple language, please? Ta. ;) [ Tuesday, January 25, 2005 02:07: Message edited by: Gunshy ] -------------------- "Keep both hands where I can see them" Posts: 52 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00
Timber-Wolf Warrior Member # 3480	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 02:54 Profile Homepage #1 Better interface? Are you kidding me? Of course BOA is Avernum 3, and most senarios wont be like Avernum 3, and it does play differently as there is "tweaked" spells, new special skills system for starters. The big feature would be to make and play senariors of course :P Posts: 169 | Registered: Wednesday, September 24 2003 07:00
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 02:56 Profile Homepage #2 Yep, the scenario editor's the main draw. There are already several high-quality third-party scenarios available, and more will be coming very soon. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Drakefyre Triad Mage Member # 7	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 02:56 Profile Homepage #3 Blades of Avernum has four shorter scenarios bundled with it, all made with the editor. And there are other user-created scenarios too. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Gunshy Warrior Member # 4938	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 06:58 Profile #4 So it's for adventurers who've beaten Avernum 3 and are hungry for more, but outside the A3 plotline? TimberWolf, I had another look. You're right. ;) -------------------- "Keep both hands where I can see them" Posts: 52 | Registered: Monday, September 6 2004 07:00

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 08:53 Profile Homepage #6 Having beaten A3 is not really necessary. BoA is for anyone who wants to make/play third-party scenarios (or the four Jeff Vogel scenarios, but I think most people would agree that A3 is better than the JV scenarios, while most people would probably also agree that if BoE tells us anything, BoA will eventually have scenarios that blow A3 out of the water). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, January 25 2005 14:23 Profile Homepage #10 TM, not everyone hates Jeff Vogel's games. Yes, I have played APF, and I enjoyed A3 much, much more. APF is good, but I liked A3 better. From what I hear of Canopy, I will have liked A3 much better than it once I've played it, too. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
