We had fireworks in Paris around midnight; I wasn't asleep but it felt creepy, all these explosions...

Happy 2020, Jeff! Happy 2020 everyone!

What Amazon? The book store or the tv? My bet is the tv; these people won't be happy before they have sullied all interesting things in this world to squeeze as much money as can be out of them. I loved the films but they literally killed the books for me; it's a real pity. 😢 I hope I'll be able to read them once. Maybe after the Silmarillion? It's not an easy reading but I hope I'll manage to read the whole of it.

I'm giving a try at The Silmarillion. I've seen the Hobbit and Rings films and find myself unable to read the books; at least they haven't put their hands on The Silmarillion yet.

I hate Discord... It seems to be a useless chat room to me. By the way, no chat room or shout box here? I'll give a shot at the new Discord but I would love to have a shout box here!

Ah, thank you for the info. Anyway, I have other gripes against this game, I'm back to Avernum.

Well, I'm done playing this game. I cannot kill that drake in that cave where he has stolen the mind of these three soldiers. I play on casual and I cannot kill that drake. So, it's game over for me. I bought the three games, I guess Jeff will have good use of the money.

Thanks for all your contributions! It's just surprising that Jeff leaves his stuff in the open like that when everyone everywhere are obsessed with protecting theirs from theft... On the other hand, I understand his understated point: "You steal my stuff? You'll have to deal with the consequences." I'm currently working on my first game, the question of protecting my work went through my mind once or twice although I'm far from any step where I should care. It's not my main concern yet and I think I'm going to just leave it behind.

I notice that all the textures, sprites and scripts are directly available in the Data directories of the games, at least in Avernum, Avadon and Queen's Wish. Isn't Jeff afraid that people take them and use them in their own games? Even if some of the graphic resources come from OpenGameArt.org, others were made specially for the games and Jeff had to pay to use them.

What is weird is that enemies are that far from where the action takes place, no enemies should be off screen.

No, this is normal, the inventory has been designed like that. The visible slots once you have left the fort are outlined with a darker colour than the other ones. The extra slots make improving items with runes and augments more practical, I think.

Did you report to the quatermaster at the Vol Gates? There are many quests like that, they don't complete until you have reported to the quest giver.

Ah, thank you.

I finished the game and I notice that I don't have all the medals. Is that normal? Are medals choices dependent?

I finished the game last night and if it's not a prequel to Avernum I realy don't know what it is.

You don't need a gpu to play Spiderweb games; integrated graphics is largely enough. You probably have more than 32 mB though unless you play on reduced settings.

Arvil respawn in the Nisse Refuge in the Ahriel land after we leave it and enter it again. If we have completed the quest by reporting to the quest giver, he will respawn as an anonymous drunken miner; if we have not completed the quest, he will respawn as himself and have his full dialogue.

I just speeded up to end the game because I was curious about its ending(s). I had grown sure that whatever choices we make would reflect on the next game(s) and I'm pleased to see that I was right! Thank you! Now, I'm going to load an old save and play at a normal rate.

You do use video ram, whether you know it or not... No offence intended.

Their stats, skills?

I can do that.

I have nothing to buy... and I'd rather not steal stuff. I took Lillian's Claw and the Ring of Fury wondering who was Lillian and that was it.

Yeah, me again... There is a lot of things that are labelled "Not Yours" in the Drowning Gaol. Also, it seems that the maximum amount of money we can have is capped to 10,000. I no longer get any money.

...

A weird thing happened. My group came near by a group of people and a message box popped up saying that the slimes finally fall apart. My group hadn't fought a pack of slimes but there is a pack of slimes nearby. I tracked the location this time. Edit: I fought the slimes and earned twice 150 gold. (The first time before fighting them and the second after killing them.) Images:
