  1. Greetings, Kelandon! Has there been any progress made in the scenario in the past year timespan and how have been things going? Eager to know as usual!
  2. For the first scenario, the valley of dying things you can run things with just a mage/priest without requiring both. But if you decide to skip a priest you will need to load yourself with ton of potions which increases weight and you will also need to come outdoors frequently to rest. And if you decide to skip the mage, you will have to depend mostly on your fighters for attacking as your priest needs to save up energy for healing. In my perception, a priest is mostly a party defender whereas a mage is a magic attacker, even though both priests and mages can be defensive and attacking. So I consider both of them to be vital for a party for regular playthrough. But since it is a beginner scenario, you can go skipping a priest or mage and toil a bit to finish the scenario, but once you get into higher level scenarios, the power of magic really begins to hot hard. My party structure is mostly two fighters (First one fully trained for raw melee and second one knows a bit of archery), a pure priest and a mage who can kill goblins with swords if needed. Coming to your question, it is really difficult to compare a mage and priest since they have very different roles. But it IS POSSIBLE to finish the scenario with your current setup.
  3. May I know how have been things going in the recent times on the topic of the progress? Excited to know...
  4. HAHA I still remember buying the games from GOG, I remember the prices were on heavily low due to the spring sale and I was considering buying the OldVernum pack for the whole time but without making a final decision, and when I finally decided to come and buy it out the sale was just over...
  5. Wow it has been 1 exact year since the last post! Well, the thing is that I stopped working just 2 days after the last post, due to busy schedule which began to creep in as the previous year proceeded and that is why I am even inactive here for a long time. I am most probably not going to work on any of these things for this year and for the first half of 2023... but no I am not a person who completely gave up! I'll try to continue on this hobby whenever I get time and would contribute to BoA whenever it happens.
  6. I am eager to have some updates regarding Homeland, Kelandon... I hope that progress made is being successful
  7. And... how are things going on right now? I hope you're doing well...
  8. My herb collection. Sorry, I forgot to put this in the previous post.
  9. HAHA! Completed all the three great quests of Avernum, and I have a great herb collection at the end! I think I barely used them... I can just remember making a couple energy elixirs but nothing else, killing Hawthorne was easier than I thought as I explored throughout the Spire, killed all of his mages and other things and finally got a cure for the vengeance. I would to share that pic, but <DATA LOST>. I am starting Avernum 2 the very next day which is today, and I think I would share some funny moments of replaying it too!
  10. I had already been through this empire place when I was exploring the Scree Pits but I had to come back there for joining Scimitar because I didn't know of the orb thing the first time and I saw all of the empire wizards and soldiers respawned in the same location as if they were never killed. I know that respawning is a thing but at times it can be extreme... also I had to face 5 drakes in a line that were never before after exiting the crypt in Foul Cavern. Alas, that image is lost. Empire thing: Hmm
  11. I know that this is due to certain limitations within the game, but whatever, its funny. Inkedbrilliant avernum_LI.webp (600×424) (wixstatic.com) And yeah, I am replaying the game. I honestly dunno if to place this in general or avernum forums but I placed it in general as this is slightly off-topic. Hope to add more if I find funny stuff.
  12. Yeah, I had abandoned everything, started afresh and am working on it for 3 days.... very minimalist not like the 1st attempt I tried to make, simple enough to complete and will be probably out in 10 days if not for outside disturbances... And it was not like the 1st attempt was too hard to script, but I felt that the plot was just too dumb and why I was putting such effort on my first scenario. I'm certainly sure of completing this time but I'm not expecting it to be perfect but clean. The best way to start for first scenario-makers.
  13. Something should happen if you skip the whole thing altogether except just nagging as Avernum 3 has interesting progress with the movement of time. I once remember Anaximander's soul talking to me in the game at a point after Day 160... but I never played that one farther so I don't know, maybe someone else encountered some issues after that, you can tell it here.
  14. Yeah, I had crossed Day 160 in Avernum 3 when I played and also successfully destroyed the portal but I am curious about what happens if you never do anything about it and just roam in the surface. Please give an descriptive reply as no other walkthroughs (I saw) tell about this.
  15. We have already discussed this topic in another topic but I think Queen's Wish 2 and Geneforge 2 Remake are in his main focus next. There are probabilties of Avernum 0 but we should remember that not every story finds itself as a game. We have even imagined like... its plot! But in real world scenario I think he's done with Avernum for now. That makes sense. I can't see a future for Spiderweb after he retires as he doesn't employ a big group. So maybe A3RW is the last Avernum game or we can see a twist.
  16. 2 parts of the stream Avernum 3: Ruined World done by Jeff are released in YouTube under the channel spiderwebsoftware1 on 1/30/21.
  17. Too excited for the homeland to arrive.
  18. The topic of new year resolutions pleases me always, but I have decided that there is not going to be any ''''''resolutions'''''' next year because I don't just follow them any year. 😁
  19. Yeah, I know I am not making any progress. But don't think that I am one of those who makes oaths of creating scenarios and do nothing. I thought that the plot was too dumb and large for a first timer to do with and I am busy with my work too right now. But hopefully I will create something decent and never go scenario-less.
  20. Yeah, I know that Rosetta 2 exists to allow old X86 based programs to run on new ARM chips, but I predict that these won't last longer as like the previous transition. And Spiderweb games have historically been played for a longer time, and it is evident from games like Exile which are still played (Not on new macs). So, it makes sense to create some piece of innovation that helps this to continue. I know that most of the gamers don't use Macs, but some folks are out in there. Why would we like someone to say, "I unfortunately can't play Geneforge: Mutagen in my 2025 iMac." ???
  21. With the new ARM based Apple's M1 chip being out with Macs fitted with it, is Geneforge: Mutagen ready with a compatible version to run on it? Also X86 based version for Macs should come out to support OS X 10.x.
  22. Wow. I never knew that we can discuss politics in here. 🤔
  23. My point here is that the run is just a lower level of cave series beneath Avernum and Fort Cavalier has a secret tunnel that leads up to Dharmon. And it is not only about the 13 sections but there are even some north of that where sliths reign and we can't reach. But can't accept that Fort Goodling is south of Great Cave because you get a message just outside it that the lands to the west of Goodling are more civilised. But does that mean the run extends into west of Goodling?
