Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Last year I played the first BoA scenario an it was quite fun, but I wanted to get into trying out the Geneforge series so I never went back to BoA. Now I'm in the process of replaying Avernum 3 then Nethergate:R again. Once I'm done with that I will dive into BoA. One thing I wonder about is the process of playing all the scenarios. How does it work in terms of balance? How do I know if I'll find an amazing weapon in one scenario that trivializes the next scenario I play?

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The best sources of information are reviews and guides that give you ideas about game levels, meaning what level you should be to play it. There really isn't a way to tell ahead of time about items. There are a few scenarios that have really good items and they get mentioned, but I couldn't locate a topic with that information.

Curious Artila Jarinex Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 For the most part the four main scenarios are designed alright in terms of balance. After that though, it’s a gamble as a number of scenarios tend to have really powerful weapons. If worst comes to worst, you could always just edit the items yourself if they are too powerful. I tried to play all scenarios, but there are just a lot varied quality within them that I instead just played the recommended ones. Heres a good thread that has a lot of recommendations http://spiderwebforums.ipbhost.com/topic/21956-a-new-best-scenarios-list/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks guys. Looks like when it's time to play BoA I will have to do some planning. I kind of can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Jarinex Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 If you'd like, I have an excel spreadsheet that has all the level ranges of the scenarios and who made them on it. I would need to edit it so my ratings aren't on it, but I have no problem sharing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
