Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Sure you can return to Annwn, when you die. You can't leave again because you don't have the crown or permission. The three artifact missions and for the Celts when they raid the Roman fort are the only cases where you can't go back if you miss something. I tried to transfer some loot to an area where you can access it after you complete your mission. It gives me a little extra spending money.

Tenderfoot Thahd Nothing XS Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I bought Nethergate a while back but registered it and had it sent to Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico. What can I do if I lost the e-mail and registration details? I'd love to revisit Nethergate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 Do you think there will be a new opening theme for Nethergate: Resurrection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 The old theme currently looks like it's in. And so does another old theme. —Alorael, who honestly would rather not get new music when the old Nethergate music is so perfect. The only improvement he'd want is a full-length version.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Quote: The game mechanics (level gaining, combat mechanics) will be much closer to Blades of Avernum (though, of course, the spells and skills are all from Nethergate I'll miss level-less skill points. Also, a blasphemous thought: If it is possible to adapt the BoA engine to the point where it uses a different set of spells and skills, could that form of the engine ever be released to the public? Also, "Nethergate: Resurrection" - what happened to giving remakes dramatic names derived from Latin? "Inferusporta"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I still don't think Jeff has the game balance quite right for a Nethergate version of BoA/A3 game engine.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You don't get the skill points as often under A3/BoA system. Early in the game this means waiting for them when they could be helpful for weapon skills. However BoA means that you can train in any town instead of waiting to get back to home base.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Kelandon:Um, the Latin for "resurrection" is "resurrectio." But the point is that the new Nethergate will roughly follow the naming convention of a sequel ("$game_title $number: $game_subtitle", omitting the number), even though it is obviously a remake.

Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Nethergate is for the most part, dead. Nethergate Resurrection sounds cool, but it will probably be a flop.

Fledgling Fyora Aethereal Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I'm absolutely gonna buy this Since it uses the BoA engine, and it is going to be a Universal Binary... does this also mean BoA is going to be a universal binary sometime soon too? (And A3? Oh pletty pleeease?) I remember how excited I was when I tried the original Nethergate for the first time... the engine blew me away. It'll be nice to reminisce in an even better engine.

Garrulous Glaahk Tyran Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 BoA is already a universal binary. Jeff claims he has never noticed problems running the Avernum trilogy using Rosetta, even though many of us have mentioned it, so universal versions of A1-3 are doubtful.

Anyone know whats wrong? For one thing, you're playing the original Nethergate. It's not the same as N:R and it's rather old. It's quite likely that it won't work right on newer systems, but fairly soon you should have a shiny updated and upgraded version to try. —Alorael, who has rather enjoyed the OS X slowing of Nethergate. It's no fun to play, but the lively intro music slowed and transposed into a funereal minor key is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have the latest version downloaded and didn't notice that the version number on the website didn't match the installer. I registered Blades of Exile way back when, but I never actually ordered a copy of BoA. I should get around to that some day... when I have time to kill again.

Unflappable Drayk Fyora Toast With Roamer Butter Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yay, Jeff has really done it this time, with a dry spell, Jeff has knocked out two indies with no other fantasy indie competition in site. Go Jeff. Maybe he will knock out three games Geneforge 4, Avernum 5, and Nethergate Resurrection before the other independents make it to market. There have been delays in Eschalon Book 1 by basilisk games, AOD-- Age of Decadence, and one other game that is independent, Looking Glass or something like that. This really shows initiative. I congratulate him, and hope Nethergate Resurrection is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
