    How about if the rebels found a way to remove the block the Shapers made and enable serviles to shape, but they're really bad at it. Would you then be just somewhat irked?

    As time has progressed, creations have attained the ability to edit themselves (starting with drakons) to build on/undo what the Shapers started with. This is both part of the solution and part of the problem.

    Does this mean we'll be having Servile shapers in GF4?

  2. Glad you enjoyed the game. wink

     

    I found the recharge annoying, but quite frankly no-one expected great things from Avernum 4. This game was the "engine-tweaker". Avernum 5 is meant to be polished. The monster AI while stupid did manage to get archers to hammer at me properly though, maybe it's just you. The weight is fine by me, as it's good enough.

     

    The AP system of the previous Avernum's was FAR better, but I think that it'll get better as you get used to it.

     

    Turrets = Annoying. Simple as that. Don't expect anything more from them.

    those laserbeams were incredibly annoying.
    Tinraya was a walk in the park compared to the golems factory
    The golems were the game's real challenge I think. In Tinraya and then later Rentar's keep, it was all just brute force needed. And by that time you had plenty of it. The golems were by far the most enjoyable of the plagues.

    But then again, I've won both Exile 3 and Avernum 3, and every time I defeated every plague before entering Tinraya.

    But are Bandits "Evil"? I mean, some people think adventurers are as bad as Bandits, so is killing them ethical?

    But morally, any self-respecting adventurer would not stoop to wearing Bandit pants. Whatever next!

    English has been called the bastard language for hundreds of years. It has been called that because it is the bastard child of just about all indo-european languages.
    What does that make American English then? The bastard's bastard child?

    What I can say is that I love this engine. Playing Exile 1 for example was very difficult for a speaker of English as a second language; it took time to *come up* with the right words frown Here is easier because the possible questions and phrases are suggested, so thank you Jeff for this engine laugh
    Even with speaking English as a native language, Exile's dialogue was tricky. This is probably one of the reasons JV changed it.

    On topic; hopefully the worlds of Ermarian and <INSERT GENEFORGE'S WORLD HERE> will never be merged, but if they are, we'll just have to live with it.

    Avernum 4 takes place in the the underground city of … you guessed it … Avernum.
    Avernum's a city? shocked
    Are you sure this guy played it? I mean, he is right about the graphics, but still...

    A 7.4 rating? I'm not sure whether to be impressed or not.

    That makes sense. I tried on Torment, and even though torment is easy I found that my party got killed a lot easier than my proper party.

    Also, has anyone tried this with a singleton, as this may be a way to break the level block?

    I personally call it "liken", but I do know others who call it "Litchen". It just depends on where you've been brought up.

    The controls are virtually identical to the normal editor. Just download that and get the help from there. The only real additional control is the one to change it from 2D to 3D view.
