There is a difference. At the end of the day, Nethergate, and N:R use the same engine. There are significant changes to the engine, but it is still the same engine. The maps didn't have to be remade from scratch.Originally Posted By: RandomizerIf Jeff thinks that Avernum 2: Crystal Souls doesn't need a major change in the game engine, then he could release it sooner. After all he did it with Nethergate: Resurrection. Most of the work would be the new content.

Geneforge 5 came out two years before Apple made the iPad. The first game released for the iPad was Avadon. A:EftP came out after Avadon, so it also got an iPad version. Jeff recently ported Avernum 6 to the iPad. Thus far, these three games are the only games with iPad versions.Originally Posted By: Slenderman.It's not? I thought they started adding them to iPad SINCE Geneforge 5.

By the way, if anyone is interested in playing N:R with the original Nethergate creature graphics (yellow goblins, gray wolves, etc), I made mod called the Nethergate Graphics Rewind back when N:R first came out. This mod will work with the Steam version. The game data files can be found in steamapps\common\nethergate_resurrection inside the Steam data folder (usually C:\Program Files\Steam or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam).

Maybe, maybe not. Nethergate is an incredible game, but it's always been a bit of a financial disappointment for Spiderweb.Originally Posted By: RandomizerMaybe someday when the current version doesn't work as well.

For those who might be interested, Nethergate: Resurrection is on Steam now and currently on sale for $3.99

Based on registration dates, it appears the UBB switch went active on September 18, 2001.Originally Posted By: Mud on your hands!Originally Posted By: Slenderman.How old is this site ._.
The first Spiderweb forums appeared in March 2001. The boards switched to UBB in... October, I think? -
It is always sad to see a good member leave. Best of luck to you.

Aircraft, yes; train, no. I have traveled on Amtrak trains many times and have never needed to show photo ID.Originally Posted By: HarehunterNot everyone drives a car, or boards an aircraft or passenger train, but if you do you have to have a photo ID.

Geneforge 1-4 and Avernum 4-5 do not have resolution options and display at 1024x768 only. Geneforge 5, Avernum 6, and Avernum: Escape from the Pit do have resolution settings windows like Avadon though.

Actually, GoG does have some newer games.Originally Posted By: Microsoft lackyWell, I can see how they may add the Exile and first Aver trilogies, the nethergate games and maybe the first 3 geneforges that now have problems running on modern computers, but the newer games seem out of scope for GoG (as the name implies)

To be fair, UBB.threads is a lot better than the previous version. It's still not very good, but it's definitely better.Originally Posted By: SylaeBased on the events of the last upgrade (read: "upgrade"), we are preparing for the worst.

Yes, the early versions of E1 and E2 had midi background music. You can find the music, along with the intro music to every game on my site.Originally Posted By: DantiusDidn't E1 have a midi of a Bach fugue looping in the background or something? I seem to recall that being discussed sometime a while ago...Actually, N:R came out after A4. The music heard in the menu of N:R was in A4 first. The original Nethergate had no in-menu music.Originally Posted By: Death KnightIts funny cause before I found out about the rest of the games, I tried Avernum 4. When I first heard the music, I thought it was epic. Then when I found out that Nethergate Resurrection was the source of it, I was convinced that that was some of the best music for a video game out there.

I loved Fallout New Vegas.Originally Posted By: Set of sets of sets of setsOn the one hand, Obsidian has turned out a steady stream of disappointments, or rather almost-great games.

Star Trek at least acknowledged and explained this one.Originally Posted By: Lilithcreatures from other planets having biology even remotely compatible with humans. we shouldn't even be able to eat their food let alone reproduce with them.

I am quite excited, personally. This is definitely something I am eagerly anticipating.

I don't think there have been any true collaborations for BoA, other than designers helping other designers with scripting, etc. There were some collaborations for BoE though. All scenarios written by The Creator were collaborative efforts between two brothers who used the same account.Originally Posted By: Cpt. CharlesI was wondering if there have been many scenarios where two or more people worked on it. A thought crossed my mind of a scenario where jobs, like plot, custom scripts, dialogue, towns, and outdoors, could be assigned to different people. That way you could find ones who did the best in each of those fields and make a bigger scenario in a shorter amount of time.
Another idea would be a scenario where you could assign a range of towns to each person for them to build.
Any thoughts on this? -

They also defeated Grah-Hoth and found the exit to the surface.Originally Posted By: RaustBlackDragonOriginally Posted By: TyranicusYour heroes are nowhere to be found in Avernum 2 because they escaped to the surface.Originally Posted By: RaustBlackDragon*Bonus boss battle will be added, accessible after completing the three victory quests, which will be an ultimate test of your party's skills, and which will explain why your heroes are nowhere to be found in avernum 2.
That's confirmed? I thought the only confirmed accomplishment of the first heroes was assassination of the emperor. -

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Miramor</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I thought <span style="font-style: italic">The Name of the Wind</span> was pretty good. <span style="font-style: italic">The Wise Man's Fear</span> not quite as good though, especially the stuff about the Adem. They had a bit much of "noble savage" about them, I think; and I found their pop-psychology somewhat revolting. Yes, I do recall what Larry Niven had to say about mistaking a character's opinion for the author's, but even so...
Apparently men become murderous psychopaths if they don't get enough sexual attention? Geez.
The Felurian storyline was a bit much too.
I bring you a most important message
