Erika Willow Redmark

Funnily enough I actually just recently watched an sfdebris review on the original Star Wars Episode IV and for the first time saw those scenes with the old Jabba actor. I have the originals and have since refused to watch the special editions for any reason. Okay, to confirm, there are three versions of Avernum: There is Exile (the first) Avernum (the second) and Avernum: Escape from the Pit (the third). Goldilocks logic says I should grab the second, because I do prefer isometrics anyway, but since I want to actually run the game without problems I'll pick the last one. It seems there is some polarisation on how much of an effect on the plot certain things have, but on the whole it isn't all that different form what I gather. I intend to play both (I'll skip the original Exile because I don't actually care for top-down views all that much, and I think playing a game 2 times in a row is already enough) so I guess I'll see anyway. I can't play it now; I have a lot of work to get done in the coming weeks, but when I get a break, I'll take a look at this and purchase it. Look forward to talking to myself. Edit: What's Blades of Avernum? Scenario editors sound fun, and I'm a software engineer anyway, but it sounds like it would take a lot of effort and time that I don't have Youth is wasted on the young. I could have done so much when I had time... anyway, is any of that canon?

An unbreakable curse? Sort of like an unsinkable ship? Funny, I always bring an umbrella with me even on sunny days for sun protection for my skin (and I like the style personally, very 7th Doctor), although at this point learning about the underground world and the surface, maybe Erika should have just blown up the sun. I mean, that would take care of the one weakness she had, and they would all be underground anyway. Sure, it would send the surface into a severe fallout world, but hey, you win some you lose some. It sure would learn them Empire guys a thing or two. And from what I read, it's not like I was abo..... she was above petty vengeance. And here I thought my name was unique..... ... alternate timeline fanfic: Erika sidesteps the curse despite 'dying' by using Time Lord technology and regenerates in a parallel world in a way that causes her to be reborn, literally. Then she becomes me and plays a game recounting the plot elements of her life and complains about her characterisation on their message board. Funnily enough I meant to phrase my question as 'Why am I in the game" but I think it was interpreted as 'why was the character banished to Avernum'. Having said that I appreciate the information, it sounds interesting. I've always dreamt of underground cities, I mean expansive, huge open cave underground cities. Kind of like the ones that Minecraft doesn't have. Okay, serious time: do the remakes have any majour plot differences from the originals? If I had to choose between the two (plot/gameplay) which one to play? One thing I notice immediately upon looking things up is that the original seems to never have 'permanently' explored areas, as in if a character can't see something, it is black, whereas the remake seems to have areas that I am guessing once explored once are always lit up? Have to admit I kind of like the original implementation better, but I am sure there are plenty of other differences and my analysis is probably flawed anyway.

Garzahd sounds like a real jackass. How is it that I never... errrm... Lady Redmark never figured out how to break the curse? She sounds like a real badass. Is the end of Avernum 3 one of those 'If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine' moments or did she really vampire out? Or she could have replaced the Sun with a different star of similar composition. Granted, that's a very roundabout way of getting around it but it could've worked.

Erika Redmark is my actual name. I should probably get the Avernum series shouldn't I? Then I can talk to myself. If the wiki is anything to go by, I sound pretty awesome. [ Spoilers for Avernum 3, apparently ] Except the whole dying part. That isn't as fun.
