I know that BoA is nearly finished and this can't possibly affect the final game, but I just wanted to see what others thought about this. This poll has been moved to another forum. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |

Since none of the first options of the first question were good, I voted other. Since I'd like to see all of the options of the second question being clickable, I voted for other. And since I'd like to see a higher damage cap (no damage cap would suck. You could kill a dragon in one hit? Bad.), more skills and spells, I voted for other. Summary: Other, Other, Other. -------------------- The Great Mister kommari@gmail.com[/url] Posts: 911 | Registered: Sunday, November 24 2002 08:00 |

I'd like to see text responses like in E2, E3 and BoE. If you've ever played E3 in that spiral crypt on the Isle of Bigail then tried it in A3, then you'll find that instead of typing in the answer to the riddle you get it given to you as one of the default responses: "1. I don't know 2. I think it's ........... 3. I think it's ..........." which is pretty boring in comparison. Posts: 316 | Registered: Saturday, May 25 2002 07:00 |

I'd like a higher damage cap and maybe a few more field spells. By field spells, I do NOT mean quickfire!

What I wanted was; 1.double strike from the Exile series. 2.what kind of field and draining spells, Drakefyre? 3.New spells, like a dumbfounding spell, and some kind of field spell that changes the battlefield from or to swamp. -------------------- -Zephyr Tempest, your personal entertainer Posts: 1779 | Registered: Monday, December 9 2002 08:00 |

Dual wield really shouldn't be in there, cause stuff does a lot more damage in all three of the Avernum games, especially A3. -------------------- "If you held a weapon to Fwiffo's head, he would say anything you wanted him to.

I'd like the A1/A2 damage scheme back, since I never did hit the damage cap in those games, but barring that I'd settle for no cap. Then there would be monsters with thousands of hit points, but at least there would be a reason to take damaging weapons over pointed sticks with +1 Worthlessness —Alorael, who also wouldn't mind seeing improved AI. Avernum's monsters all seem to be suicidally eager to charge you regardless of the efficacy of other attacks. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

With the spells I think there should be a wound spell because it is suprisingly my favourite spell because it is so vertisle, it works on any enemy even if they are magic immune. -------------------- Milla-Displacer Beastie This is also a good site Posts: 650 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

*Milla*'s idea of a "wound" like spell would be nice in a lot of ways. A "magicless" spell similar to Cloud of Blades but in target form would be very helpful for dealing with monsters that are magic immune when for some reason you are unable to cast CoB due to say vital NPC's around your target. Not to say that this is at all common, but in Blades of Avernum, nearly anything is possible. -------------------- Razordisk Frisbee Golf Posts: 168 | Registered: Saturday, October 26 2002 07:00 |

I'm trying to remember if Exile allowed characters to choose where they could drop things or not. It would be nice if you chould choose where you drop your items rather than just having them all pile up at your feet. I also would like the ability to put things into containers. Then maybe you could create something like "recycling bin" where it gives you 1 coin for each pile of trash you put on the space. Posts: 141 | Registered: Saturday, April 20 2002 07:00 |

Er....wasn't Beast Ceremony from Nethergate?

quote:Well, he already said he wouldn't do this, because it would require an extra click. However, someone suggested using something like the feature that lets you split up a stack of items by holding down a certain key to drop items on adjacent spaces. I would try to ask Jeff about it, but he ignores pretty much everyone on AIM except for the mods. Actually, I might try e-mailing him. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I sent him an e-mail, and he said he'd put in adjacent item dropping if he has time. I hope he has time.

You can do that in BoE with clever use of VTE. -------------------- "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!

I would like an extra slot for NPCs to join the party so I won't have to get rid one of my 4 main characters. Isn't this what was done in Nethergate? That way you could make certain quest that require to take an NPC somewhere or something along those lines. Posts: 141 | Registered: Saturday, April 20 2002 07:00 |
