Author	Topic: Diplomacy with the Dead, Length?
UA Infiltrator Member # 154	written Friday, June 4 2004 13:26 Profile #0 Erh. Is it just me, or is Diplomacy with the Dead significantly (and I mean significantly) shorter than the other three scenarios? Then again, it's the first one I played, and the speed of Avernum-style combat (compared to BoE) is a wonderful fresh burst of life (it's amazingly fast compared to BoE). So I guess it could just be me 'warming up to the game(/engine style)' What do you think about this? -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

I spent most of my time trapsing around outside enjoying the glorious beauty of nature and hacking away at zombies until they are dead, dead, dead.

If I missed any encounters, they must've been pretty well-hidden. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
UA Infiltrator Member # 154	written Saturday, June 5 2004 01:06 Profile #3 Meh. I dislike outdoors. And it still felt really short. -------------------- Apparently still annoying. Posts: 612 \| Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00

Oh well, at least I have VODT to sustain me. And I've got used to Avernum-style movement now.

UA Infiltrator Member # 154	written Saturday, June 5 2004 02:31 Profile #5 Flamefeind, there should be an option in your BIOS to turn numlock on automatically at bootup. You can pay by credit card too - the registration completed and I got my code in the same day, just a few hours apart. -------------------- Apparently still annoying.

Oh, I don't know — I rather enjoy repeated acts of savage violence in rustic settings, especially if it's for a good cause and the pay is good. Posts: 907 \| Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00

Crunchy Frog Warrior Member # 286	written Saturday, June 5 2004 16:57 Profile #9 Yeah, I know about the BIOS option. Thing is, there's another game which I play a lot which requires you to have numlock OFF. :D It's not that big a deal. I know it's possible to pay by credit card. It's just that I don't have one. :) -------------------- Z: "I just feel so insignificant." Psych: "You ARE. You're an ANT." --Antz Posts: 104 \| Registered: Saturday, November 17 2001 08:00

But if you're used to BoE combat, which takes up most of your playing time... BoA combat is far faster, especially when you're more powerful than the enemies. -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.
