Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I first read this as "Welcome to the Amadan Forum" and thought, "Damn, didn't know he was such a popular character..." Anyway, the skill thing looks interesting. Though I'm a little concerned that its using an engine that looks so similar to the Geneforge/STAvernum engine. Ah well, time will tell.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have a feeling that like Geneforge you will be able to work for most if not all the factions. Hopefully there will be less powergameing options. I.e your actions actually have consequences, so you must stick with what you've done. That came out well in G3 and G4. GIFTS as Gifts?

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Doom in Hebrew is actually the best explanation for the name of the game I've seen so far, so that is quite possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Jadan Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Ahh. Exploding sock puppets. Probably not, but it would be nice to see. That'd be fun Namine, or if the room with multiple doors as dictated by Jeff in Bluebeard's story would be in the game. A possible option at the end to use the doors to enter the same door twice would be nice, thus leaving you with your alternate self to kill, and harvest the essence from that universe. MORE POWER!

Ineffable Wingbolt Kingy Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 It's always good to be randomly browsing and find that theres a new game out. I'm sure it'll be worth playing no matter what happens. My flatmates however tend to look at me weirdly when they walk past and see me running these mean, older styled games on a quad core.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Alan Turing's is a sad story. Things are better than in his day, and do look to be getting better.

This seems a little too Snow-White esque to be true. Is it? Depends on what the question is. Like Alorael said, the Apple logo isn't related to Alan Turing. However, Turing did (with near certainty) commit suicide by coating/injecting an apple with cyanide (since all the cool kids are doing it, here's a Wikipedia link). We also know that Turing was a big fan of Snow White, so the similarity isn't a coincidence. Anyway, Avadon. Wooo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - only the scintillating wit and intellectual repartee of the global colossus that is SpiderWeb Software Forums (& cool gaming stuff). btw it could be worse: I just got the title of 'shock trooper' after 200 posts. That kind of puts me in the Rush Limbaugh/John Laws category. 'Sorceress' would be more accurate despite the fruitiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Small Cryoa Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Is there going to be multiple characters, like in Avernum, or is there going to be one character and you talk to and let them travel with you?

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 You make one character and then get to bring any two of four other set characters along with you. It sounds like you are expected to or even required to switch your party regularly. —Alorael, who expects that these other characters will work something like characters who join you in recent mainstream RPGs. They'll have set starting stats and you'll be responsible for controlling them and leveling them up once they join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 They will probably be sitting around a table drinking like in Nethergate until you ask them to join. It seems that you will have scripted fights where you are expected to have one character from a certain class in order to make the fight easier. It will still have to be possible to do the fight with other choices or Jeff will have a revolt on his hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I imagine they'll start out scattered and, once recruited, move to some central location for easy swapping. —Alorael, who wishes more parties were hot-swappable.
