  1. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, so I apologize if it's not in advanced. I believe I have issued an order for the game Blades of Avernum two days ago, however, I have not received any confirmation emails and I am worried there may have been a problem. I did try to send an email to the one listed under ordering yesterday but I have not received any communication. If the order did not go through due to the glich or human error I just want to know.
  2. Well, reason I connected the dots there was the fact that most of my family over in the US are Adventis, there Nuts, and One of them has revealed there secrit rituals in feeling wonderful. If Jeff wants a New charictor for his Univers; Jessy, of the Anama church who... No I wont go into that. In response to your edit, Only jokes I can make is ones on how messed up my family is.
  3. Ok... I feel uncomfortable asking but my couriosity has just made me gotta ask, so I will be as frank and mature about it as I can. Is Anama a play on the word Enema? Do Enemas have something to do with the secritisem of the anama church? If you are wondering how the **** this idea even crossed my mind, the reason being is this: My Grandmother is a very religous person, a 7th day Adventist to be exact, and she follows the bible to the word, anyone who dose not is a sinner in her eyes. How ever, in her old age she has gotten slightly into alternative medicen, being an exnurse and all. One day, just after serving breakfast she anounced at the breakfast table "I just had an Enema and I feel wonderful" Other Adventists insist that my grandmother is just crazy, but Im not sure Im convinced. Is the Anama church a means of making fun of adventists?

  5. my little review on A5 Demo: The Story was great. It set what your objectives were. it gave a sense of Direction, a motivation, and the mini boss at the beginning got you into the action very quickly, with a lot better level design than A4's Intro level. The new Melee abilities gave a refreshing look on combat that I wish was in the original Avernum games, how ever, I understand theses are Empire troopers who have had best of the best Training, even for a Noob level troopers like our Protagonists. I do think there could have been more attacks added, such as a Back stab and such. One more thing I would like to express, The Geneforge engine with Avernum?!? I saw A4, and Found it very poorly done. I felt for a time, that the engine should be saved for Geneforge. But Jeff has Proved me wrong. This game is a great game. I still prefer the Avernum 3 engine/UI, but I came away feeling a new view on the game. As for graphics, I know Jman dose not give a licking toss about the graphics, and feels that the old bits and peaces give it the Spider web software feel. he may be right. I can always identify his games. How ever, Im glad to see some new bits and peaces make there way in. The slopes, hills, stairs... I better see some impressive things like this in GF5! I also noticed the almost naked Wild boy and Girl made an appearance. They don't look empireish, but they were cool characters to have as Barbarians/Berzerkers. Oh, and I almost forgot, The other races have some old familiar portraits. Allot better. My bottom line: Much better work Jeff. This game has returned my faith in The Next Saga of Avernum. keep it up...
  6. Hmm... Good review... As for the Anama, if you have played though Avernum 3 and gotten up to the part where you battle against the Mutant Giant cockroaches, you will have met them.
  7. I kind of agree with the Trakovites. But I do think that Shaping should not be thrown to waste.
  8. that actually sounds cool... Map Quest! An adventure game where you go on a Quest, over a **** load of maps!
  9. My comp is out of date. There for, if it runs on Winblows its not worth playing, end of story...
  10. No... is it any good? Can it run on Macs and is there a Demo i can Sample?
  11. What ever.... Well, my earlier idea (shock points etc) was for a stand alone game idea based off of a engine similar to BoA. only problem is I cant program... I have this idea you see. I think its a great idea, and although its not the fantasy stuff that you are all familiar with, it would make a good Multiplayer or mini game. Its an Armed Defenders Tactical Combat Simulation game with a few RPG elements. Its based more around the Devastation of gun fire, and the use of cover and what ever one can use to prevent there Team from getting slaughtered as they try to under go missions. One thing is, the game is played entirely in a combat mode system similar to Avernum's combat system. The game is more oriented on sneaking up on your foe and cutting his throat or using flash bombs on a room to knock everyone out. Rather than the system of Creating characters, I have this idea, you hire randomly created and skilled characters. as you play though the game, you loose people so you have to replace them (no Load save stuff) If you loose all your men, you have to hire a new team. I really think some one should try to create the game, even as a Freeware game.
  12. Anything we say sadly, has a 000000000000.01% chance of being implemented. No, Im not saying it won't be included, that would be insulting, Im just saying there is a slim chance of anything being used. (yes, an obscure movie reference that fits with the occasion. neon genesis: evangelion)
  13. WTF dose luck EXACTLY do, What special encounters is it useful, and how dose it affect game play. I also ask the same question...
  14. personally, I loved the Avernum 3 UI. press M for magical spells, and a little pop up comes up. You are how ever able to click it away and continue using your movement, without having to CLOSE the window. The ice lances spell was an easy to cast spell (a,b,c,f,g Space, Crack crack crack, crack, splatter crack) I could quickly use my items on the fly with the I button, and quickly go back to my map to see my current position. Also, I liked the One tile dedicated to your party in Out doors exploration. It gave the world a bit more of a larger feel than. It made the world seem bigger and believable. The Graphics to BoA had there own charm, and I believed that they were very well done and were very well done isometric 2D characters. They reminded me of the Infantry in Tiberium sun. For some reason or other, I just have a love for 2D characters like that. I use to (when I was on a PC) use Paint to create some really highly detailed pixel people like the Original Avernum games. (a Shame I cant Donate any to Spiderweb software) Although I understand that Jeff probably wanted to make a change in graphics, I think using graphics that we have seen before in other games he had made, was a very bad turn. I too also like the Geneforge graphics, but they are like putting an Oak Tree in the Sahara. They Did not go well crossing universes. Personally, I believe Avernum 4 is a bit of a Joke compared to what Jeff really can do... I don't mean that to be mean, I know I have seen much better from the man. As a Story teller, I respect Jeff. I Belive Its time for a New story. By the way, feel free to pick apart my Review as much as you wish...
  15. Another idea I just came up with is a Physics engine, combined with pauses to represent rounds/turns in combat to allow many choices in the way you fight. Do you kick the Monster in the head, while trying to elbow the other guy behind you? Don't think its possible? have a look at Tori bash and HL2. Also, additionally, I wish to remind everyone what an RPG is: Role Playing Game. Half Life could be an RPG, as you are PLAYING, the ROLE, of Gordon Freeman, in a Game. There for, any game where you play as a character, is a RPG. is there a game where you DO NOT play the role of some one? Look at the mindless game Tetras.
  16. ok it is official: Creations need more power! (last game I played I used no creations what so ever)
  17. Do you think Jeff is interested in starting a new RPG universe around realism over Fantasy? I did have a wicked sick idea for a Si-fi TRPG but do not have the Know how or the facilities to make it more than just a game that I tried to make with %d/10D games with my friends who have little interest to being with of such things. (geeze they are usless at RPG games, they call there toons ****ed up names like Peta Chenie and try to play a Pedofile toon and there toons fate usually ends up being bashed to death by Town drunks, and large quantities of household vermin because they refuse to adventure, and rather act like some lvl 1 noob from Goldshire in Warcraft)
  18. The Tree! lol Nah, the Shaper with the Artilla anyway, where the hell is your Fan art guys? Fan fics? doodles? Javas/Flashs? anything?
  19. hmm... ... Ever considered we are part of a Computer game? And when the application closes, all existence is lost until its reloaded?
  20. that reminds me of an RPG on computer I wanted to create, but don't have the skills to make. At the moment I'm getting sick of allot of RPG games out on the market. They are Cliché in story, enemies are ether too hard or too easy and mathematically impossible to beat, and the Path of the story's are too linear for my tastes. If I dont like the story, I cant play the game well. What made me come to GF4 was that these flaws in many of games, are just about non existent. How ever, one thing I do like in most of the P&PRPGs is that the GM can emphasize on the frailness of a human. I think there should be permeant consequences for going down to %15 health. Things like a Limp, loss of eye, or limb. I remember in Dominions 3 an item that if equipped forced you to cut out the Character using its eye out. If I personally wrote the game I would add a chance of going insane because of the Injury, etc. (yes, you can tell my Favorite spell was mass MADNESS in GF4)
  21. I like the Idea personally. I also have a good idea: pack mules! Each Creation has his on inventory, and things it may use? Of corse, some creations may be limited to what they can use.
  22. Yes... I went for a more anime approach. The Tree was initially suppose to be the starts of a frosts but I scraped the idea when I drew the Shaper in the Back ground. Then I wanted him to have a companion, and I suck at drawing Fyoras so I stuck with the Artilla. Then I felt he needed a life crafter or a rouge to take on. Since I just finished watching Hellsing, I felt like an excuse to draw an overcoat or robe. The Wingbolt came into the equation after getting my ass kicked by the bloody things on the Torment mode.
