Arch-Mage Solberg

My bad I said 2nd but meant 1st.

That wasn't the real issue.

Probably the same reason why the same plot went into a game called Avernum 4!



Usually some shows' first seasons are typically short so that's why I figured that the First Expedition would go first. We could show the Empire finding the caves, mounting the Expedition, the Expedition roaming through the caves, the fights, the slaughter, and the Empire's response to it. I figure about 6-8 episodes for the first season.



***dreaming***

I know it's been done 2 or 3 times, but hey...I like the concept.

I think it'll have more impact as a TV series. Also, movies tend to leave stuff out. And with the amount of stuff in the Avernum games...A LOT would be left out.

Also you could use one game per season with the first being shorter because it's the promo like so;

1. Avernum: The Beginning. You start off showing the First Expedition and end with the confirmation of Micah as King of Avenum.

2. Avernum: Strikes Back. (Avernum 1) Starts off showing four people being pushed into a teleportal, following them through their adventures, and ending with the assassination of Hawthorne.

3. Avernum: War. (Avernum 2) Starts off with Garzahd ordering the attack on Avernum and ends with his own assassination.

4. Avernum: Returns to Surface. (Avernum 3) Starts off with discovery of Upper Avernum and ends with defeat of Rentar-Ihrno.

5. Avernum: Retribution. (Avernum 4) Starts off with adventurers in Fort Monastery and ends with defeat of Rentar-Ihrno.

6. Avernum: Northern Expansion. (Avernum 5) Starts off with the assassination of Prazac and ends with the assassination of Dorikas.

7. I haven't yet played the sixth on yet so could someone help me fill this one in? Thanks.

 

We could discuss which actors could play the characters or what all stuff could go into each season or whatever. Hope you like.

I thought as much. I read two days ago that it could happen. Then the first thing I read today is someone saying that it is happening. I thought it weird since the new game is still in the works!

So it's true then...He's really remaking the 2nd Trilogy?

The game does support 8-directional movement. I didn't understand what you were asking before. I thought you were asking how to get it to work for your laptop and not just a computer. For 8-directional movement on a laptop, you need the external keyboard. It'll work just fine on a regular computer...just make sure that the NUM LOCK light is on. Hope that this helps!

I believe the answer may lie in an external KEYBOARD, not a mouse. Although, if you get the keyboard...get the mouse!

I concur. I fixed the link to the original Exile pic. Original Exile

You make me ! lol

Why is Encyclopedia Ermarian seemingly abandoned? It looks like noone has been there in months, perhaps a year! Come on people, let's take care of our information.

I first started playing the games in early 1998. I was able to register Exile 2: Crystal Souls a few months later. I don't really remember why I registered Exile 2 before Exile 1: Escape from the Pit.

When I first started here I took the name Solberg. I took some flak over that because apparently someone else who used the name of Solberg had a little trouble with game plaigarism(sp?) about a year before.

I am reading through the Harry Potter series for the fifth time.

I listen to country and classic rock. Jam it old school baby!

Yes, it sure does.

 

Me too!!!

The end has truly come. The Master of all that is magic...ceases to exist. Archmage Solberg is dead.

What will this mean for me? Will I continue to use the name of Solberg to remember him by or will I base myself on a new character from Avadon? Only time will tell. For now (even though I am not here too often) Solberg's name will live through me.

I play the Avernum's because I like them...end of story.

I use four custom characters; A melee fighter, A thief/alchemist who uses polearms, A priest, and a mage. I mainly do not use the editor, I figure things out on my own!

I've been away for a while so I wanted to ask a question. With the end of Avernum and Geneforge upon us...has Jeff announced what game/games are coming next?

I'm currently reading an old book I have that has almost all of Edgar Allen Poe's stories and poems.

There are many games out there where a character's race is identified. For example the Elder Scrolls games have that feature. Depending on what character you or the person you're talking to is, the dialogue will compensate.

What! No quote from me!?!

I have to agree with the article. There needs to be more balance put into trials and such. That's part of the reason I enjoy games like Baldur's Gate, Diablo, and the Exile/Avernum/Nethergate/Geneforge games.

 

Obviously all of the puzzles shouldn't be too tough or the game would become too hard and therefore not as fun too play, or all easy so the game isn't too challenging and again not that fun to play.

 

There needs to be a balance in the toughness of the trials and so few gamers get it right.

In Exile 1: Escape From the Pit, there are three Nephil areas in the demo: 1. Nephilim Castle west of Formello 2. Nehilim Fort north of Cotra 3. Unfinished Fort north of Fort Duvno. The Unfinished Fort doesn't really qualify as such really, but it is mentioned as a nephil fort and has a nephil chieftain.

 

Also the demo covers nearly half of the land area of the game, the most of any other spiderweb game!

 

In Exile 2: Crystal Souls, you have the Nephil Castle just to the west of Fort Ganrick. Although you later come across concentrations of Nephilim, there is no real fort for them.

 

My favorite character is 'gasp' Archmage Solberg. Garzahd/Empire made formidable opponents.
