Chittering Clawbug Muscleguy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Okay, so no horses in Kriszan province unlike last time. Anyone had any luck anywhere else? Playing in Torment so going a bit slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 There are no live horses in this remake. However it doesn't affect time to get around even in torment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug Muscleguy Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 So the two people I've found who talk about horses but do not rule them out except perhaps in Kriszan province are teasers to make those of us who have played since Exile 3 waste our time? Good to know I can outpace the faster roaming monsters on foot though, the point of the horses in previous versions. Still, I thought it a nice surface benefit touch, you get horses and a mansion. The Mansion even has grass out front to leave them on and trees to tether them to. You just had to remember to leave them somewhere when doing the vanishing tower. Slightly saddened now.

Chittering Clawbug Muscleguy Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 I'm also a little sceptical about the idea that our heroes can outpace alien beasts on foot, let alone giants. Down in Avernum you can imagine outpacing giants because they have to crouch occasionally in the tunnels. But on the surface? It does not compute. Mind you the anatomist in me wants to know how Rentar Ihrno manged to solve the problems inherent in a vertebrate hexapod. Though it looks like she lengthened the body axis to fit the middle pair in. If you lengthen the lumbar spine you can just use another pelvis arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I read a book that had an alien species with trilateral symmetry. I spent some time trying to figure out how that would work before giving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this particular book they were somewhat humanoid bringing up your comment about something that has to move around on land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
