There's still at least one time-based event in the game, but it's not preventable, so you can take your time as much as you like. I never found time to be a factor at all in A3. I finished everything (literally every quest in the game) around day 110. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I had the same problem in Exile 3, with the timed event. I started over just to get it the second time and pace myself. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I have to wait until day 110? If i do the alien beast stuff and win will that time based event still take place? I am only on day 80. I suppose i can ditch the horses and walk everywhere, but if the alien beast don't kill off towns like the rest now is the chance to go explore everything and do all the dungeons i skipped. Not to mention all the quest i have ignored and the arifacts i can now go and pick up. Posts: 17 | Registered: Friday, April 21 2006 07:00 |

quote:Day 160, actually. And the game ends after you win (you can't keep playing), so any quests you want to do, you have to do before you win. Of course, you could always keep a backup savefile outside the final dungeon and go back to it after you've won to see anything you've missed. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

I'd say you should head back to Krizsan, buy a lot of food, and rest for a very long time. If you've got any metal lumps left or haven't taken advantage of the Bunker, now is the time to do it. You've got nothing but time while you wait until day 160. —Alorael, who has also actually never experienced the final event without deliberately seeking it out.

If you are about to finish the alien beasts and still want to complete the event that occurs on day 160 (which shall remain unnamed) you could always just use the editor to fast forward to day 160. Its significantly less annoying than sitting around resting, and is what I did. (I knew about the event from E3, and had finished Avernum 3 far before it had a chance to occur on its own.) -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

Don't be surprised if it does not happen on day 160. It happend on day 161 on my computer and on Rache's Avernum 3 site it says that it could happen from day 160 to day 163. By the way, the alien beasts desyroyed the towns before the game starts. Posts: 42 | Registered: Friday, April 28 2006 07:00 |

I descovered if your fast enough you can reach the normally slime destroyed town before it becomes destroyed .... nobody is there though .... I don't think it would be possible to check if the Alien beast towns are the same (as you need permission to enter the province and all). -------------------- Fine Meal is people!!!
