    Well, it's the player's fault if they don't use the default party. And a way around it is to include the saved game, but have the scenario already started and the PC inside the scenario. Then run the intro dialogue through some dialog boxes, and presto! That way you can give the player special abilities, special items, items with scripts, etc. from the get go.
    This is actually a really cool idea. And if they start it with any other party, they arrive in a walled room with nothing but an exit from the scenario. :-)
  2. Wait, you actually play as a rebel and not just "not a Shaper"?

     

    And you aren't even necessarily a human?

     

    I heartily approve. smile Props for messing with the formula.

     

    EDIT: I also approve of Khoth's suggestion above me.

     

    Fighter: Good combat, okay magic, lousy shaping.

    Magician: Good magic, okay shaping, lousy combat.

    Creation Master (seems awkward to call them Shapers when they're fighting against the Shapers): Good Shaping, okay combat, lousy magic.

     

    Works for me. Now, if we can have utility (as opposed to combat) creations, my wish list is close to complete.

    I agree that the graphics are a pain in the @#$%, but other than that, a new editor isn't need. I think Jeff is giving way on exile and on with the other ones like avernum.

    If you ask me, exile is the best series Jeff has created... but that's just my opinion.
    Have you ever actually done anything with the editor?
  4. Testing, whether alpha or beta, is way fun for me. Planning is way fun. Actually making the thing kinda sucks.

     

    In my experience, scenario death happens in the first 25% of design work. So far, if I get past that point, I have always finished the scenario.

    While it's a good idea for sure, that might be a bit premature. Drizzt, for example, did teleportation (though by a completely different mechanism) ages ago in Shadow Of The Stranger.

    EDIT: The technique may be of more use in an all-towns scenario, by the way. With the caveat that I don't necessarily know what I'm talking about (as I have demonstrated in embarassing fashion recently), I think stairway nodes can only be called in towns. You could even use it at one point to get into the gremlins' cave/hideout/whatever when the door's locked and barred. smile
