Zephyr Tempest Guardian Member # 2339	written Sunday, June 6 2004 17:19 Profile #1 Your party can consist of anything you want. Though for people who are new to BoA, a skilled mage is recommended. There is a good guide in the game manual. -------------------- -Zephyr Tempest, your personal entertainer Posts: 1779 \| Registered: Monday, December 9 2002 08:00

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 6 2004 17:25 Profile Homepage #3 We've been having some discussions of parties over in this thread. I like a quartet: a pure fighter, a fighter with utility skills like tool use, a priest, and a mage. The second fighter could be an archer or an extra priest or mage, too. Other people like different party alignments, most notably singletons (1-person parties). The hint book has decent walkthroughs, but it may not be worth it since you can just ask us or open up the scenarios and look at them.

Rinoa Heartily Warrior Member # 3376	written Sunday, June 6 2004 21:23 Profile #4 great thanks a lot. btw,i don't quite understand the part on "open up the scenarios and look at them" u mean i cna see the source codes? Posts: 71 \| Registered: Friday, August 22 2003 07:00
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, June 6 2004 21:28 Profile Homepage #5 You can see the Avernumscript codes, sure. Open up those text files in the scenarios' folders. In order to understand them, you may have to download the Scenario Editor (here) and look through the docs. You can use the Editor to look at the maps of the towns, too, and the locations of all the items and monsters. Same thing for the outdoor areas. So yeah, basically you can see every component part of the scenarios. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Flake Warrior Member # 1345	written Monday, June 7 2004 03:31 Profile Homepage #8 oh ok. I kinda found that annoying during testing. I mean, I could have a half decent thief in my party with some fine lockpicks, run around and pick 20 doors in towns etc and there you go, up a level (roughly, give or take some xp). but it'd be too difficult and not worth it to make the locks have a similar xp system to killing creatures(e.g. harder the lock, more experience. easier the lock, less experience). looking over that idea it does seem kinda stupid. meh. still bugs me that every door, no matter how hard or what it holds is worth the same. the easier doors in towns should be worth less, while the ones down in dungeons blocking your way to masses of treasure should be worth more. or maybe thats just me. -------------------- I may come across sounding more official then I actually am.

Jame Warrior Member # 3694	written Monday, June 7 2004 09:39 Profile #9 Now it's out for PC. Yeehaw. Yee, and DARE I say it, HAW! Wait, one problem: the map and view are both too small. -------------------- And that was exactly the point of itself. Takes advantage of the easily offended.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Monday, June 7 2004 09:50 Profile Homepage #10 The map and the view? Do you mean for BoA itself? Because if so, it's the same as every other Avernum, I think. If you mean the view in the editor, I kind of agree. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Although it says 50 experience every time, that's not true. For each character, the experience is modified for that character's level based on the lock difficulty, as if the lock were a monster of level 1 + (2 * lock difficulty). -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.
