Quote: On a side not, Diki pointed out that Barzahl was canister enlightened, and therefore was not just any human. I suppose we should address this. Are we talking about pure humans versus pure drakons here?... I thought that drakons were shaped drykes in which case there is no such thing is a "pure" drakon. Considering that drakons constantly reshape themselves i think it's fair to compare them to shapers that have been altered.

I always thought it was a tie. Each side fights for different moral principles and each side has pros and cons that pretty much balance each other out. However, after geneforge 4 I feel that the drakons are now just fighting for their survival and not their ideology. They are destroying creations, serviles and humans that they set out to free from shaper rule. Shapers are also becoming more loose with their laws and drakons are becoming more brutal. After the unbound I wouldn’t be surprised if the human/servile side of the rebellion defected. Think about it, would the general human population ever willingly submit to the rebellion after the unbound? This means that if the Drakons want to win they will have to become just as oppressive as the shapers.

I agree that there are some disadvantages in having unlimited arrows, but the pros out weight the cons. The only thing that would make me want them back the way they were is if they were weightless and something tells me there is no way that’s going to happens. I think someone mentioned this before but I cant remember who. It feels lame giving your archer extra points of strength only so that he/she could carry a modest pack of arrows.

Instead of encouners with 3 then 2, then 1, then 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,2,1,1,3,10 enemies in a dungeon. Have like 5, nothing, nothing, nothing, 4, nothing, bothing, 7, nothing, 10. QB] So so very true i hated going into combat mode over one goblin, but perhaps i wouldnt hate it so much if it didnt happen so many times

I hate the way the monsters are spread our in between towns. I like the encounters where they ambush you and flank you on all sides, but just having them proportionally dispersed and having to go into combat mode when you see them is annoying. It was great being able to order special items from blacksmiths I think I only got 2 things made but it was a very great addition. No frustrating terrain like poisonous swamps when u level up high enough all those things do is make annoying sound effects. I miss herbs that grow back I really really really do and being able to make potions my self. I actually liked this system in the begging but sometimes I really wished I could make an energy potion or two with out going back to town. Allies were absolutely awesome. The co-op assaults with the vanahtai on vanahtai were much better than the co-ops in geneforge. Why did vanahtai look so freaken huge they are tiny not bigger than you aren’t they??? Limited side quests for extra cash I don't think I ever had money shortages that bad in A3 or G3. I think some version of A3 side quests should be implemented. Unlimited arrows made me put a point or two in bows to 3 of my party members (mage was 2 weak). If the don't miss collecting the arrows at all!!!

Talking ( Reputation / persuasion )
rantalot replied to Daemos's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2000-2002 original versions)
It would be nice to have secret passeges you can get into by headbanging and some that people would have to tell you about like in bashikova BoA (there is a secret door that the friendly slith has to tell you about b4 u can use it -
A4 - Trick for more then 2 nephil / slith graphics
rantalot replied to EvilEye's topic in Second Avernum Trilogy
i think we should dammand edged weapon bonuses for humans lol this is a neat discovery evil eye thanks for sharing -
Quote: Originally written by Drakefyre:And I agree with you - people are too quick to stifle a discussion that may become meaningful.[/QB] I never had the balls to restart the anama thread on avernum trilogy lol Leon you deffinatly should look up the threads with the references they got some real neat stuff i recomand it for everyone but feel free to start talking about them again!
-
yeah i so miss bumping into enemies instead of going into combat mode I tend to get sort of intrested in the plot and try 2 get to the end as fast as posible and forget the lesser caves...i always visit them at the very end and going into a combat mode over a goblin makes me cry
-
i started playing A3 again shortly after finishing A4 i noticed that i really missed out doors and choosing to go into combat mode was just amazing (i missed bumping into enemies) this made me think that A5 would be better if it was more like A3 I did enjoy A4 but i enjoyed A3 so much more The world also felt so much bigger and it is packed with amazing weapons quests What i am trying to say is maybe we should go back to the old engine and graphics i doubt any of us play Jeffs games for how good stuff looks that was never spiderwebs strong point I relize how unlikely us going to the old engine is but perhaps strong support will atleast encourage jeff to fix up sevral things to make A5 feel like A3
-
also it would be nice to choose to go into combat mode. If there is no way that can happen, then can A5 atleast have monsters in packs instead of spread out. I hated going into combat mode going two steps and see a monster i didnt b4 and there u go combat mode again
-
i am very sorry like i said a few days ago i am a noob at forum stuff a quick question to exile/avernum vets. I know there are vanahtai lands under avernum and then there is upper avernum above avernum...has it ever been explained in A1 or A2 just how many layers there are? Also, jeff said that A5 will be in a totaly new place in avernum how can u have a new place if you can have mages scry and make mapes? How can u really find an area u didnt know existed with that sort of magic?
-
can u join the religion lol
-
A good chat half way in the game with the villan is always nice, especialy if you dont know its the villan. edit: wow u must of posted like 2 seconds ahead of me
-
a group of enemies...anvil area effect lol it can even be the new version of clouds of blades, but instead of spining blades it will be constantly falling anvils ____________________ plz dont take me seriously on this and send me hate mail kos you loved clouds of blades
-
i dont think u can beat the empire if the fighting is on its own terf....not only did avernum have tactical advantage over the Empire it also had the Vanahtai...i dont think many rebels will be able to come up with that. I do however have a question for exile/avernum vets. If the empire can teleport soldiers why would it be an advantage for some one to be on an island??? That bothered me in the small rebellion. This is question more towards the development crew of A5 (jeff) So the whole A5 will be underground??? no hopes of seeing green grass or an empire dervish?
-
the game doesnt end when beat her in her lair....there is a weak plot twist if u can even call it that (but doing so opens up the way to the Abyss)
-
There is no agreement on the main story line. Most of us are tired of the vanahtai villans and demons are boring. Most of us want to know more about vanahtai but the developer doesnt. Thus we might as well talk about the lesser aspects(like side quests) which are more...agreeable

Balanced Cheating for the Singleton
rantalot replied to BlueMedley's topic in Second Avernum Trilogy
wow thats impresive i doubt i'd make it to the castle with out using the trainer at the start -
hey what ever happend to buying a house i liked that in A3 it gave you neat mini quests why wasnt that in A4 but to expand the idea a bit i think you should be able 2 buy a business in A5 and do quests making ur business profitable...reward being money of course...this is a pretty rough idea does any one have anything 2 say about it

Balanced Cheating for the Singleton
rantalot replied to BlueMedley's topic in Second Avernum Trilogy
this is what i am doing its working great so far (i just got to the castle) at the very start i pumped up nature lore and arcain lore to 11 and i put 3 points to strength and 1 to indurance and deffence. I used the trainer for that i also gave my self 3 grand so i could buy much needed spells like heal and cure. but remember that u can buy skills so use money for that if u can level something up with money dont spend skill points on it i have a slith mage/prist with natural mage/ellite warrior traits. Dont worrie about the EXP penalties. -
ok so demons are admitebly a little 2 dimentional but what else is there to threaten the empire??? well...the vanahtai but i think we all agree that having them as main bad guys is getting old and about hack and slash when it comes to demons...i think the scenario was called The Curse of Being Famouse and i dont think that and the main demon (much like a shade) was involnurable till you do a seriouse of quests to get his charm In that scenario rebels actualy tried to control and use demons to fight the empire. I think that was a pretty cool idea that should be exploited in A5 exept it would work this time ---halfbreed idea: half man half demon...small resistance to all magic and edged weapons bonus (45% exp penalty)
-
i am a noob at the forums...what the hell are the GIFTS
-
come on you cant tell me demons werent cool in bashikova in BoA it can be one of the plagues in A5 kinda like the shades in A4
-
I just want A5 to take place in vanahtai lands i think its about time 2 spend a lot of time there.Oh and i just finished A4 and u do have an option for Ranter Ithro to live but yeah i would hate for any of the old charectors playing a major role in A5 i am up for a masive all out demon invasion and if it cant be in Vanahtai lands it should be a conflict that puts the WHOLE empire in jepordy not a few cities or the least populated continent ---Cross breading...half man half dragon wont that be the slith?? in fact pretty much all races look like half breeds half man and half something else. How much further can go? Less hair? Less scaled?.....the only cool truely original thing i can think of is half man half spider "spiderman" lol ----Vanahtai i am seriously getting a little tired of them being called masters of magic if i recall corectly Erica was breating the most powerful mage of the vanahtai...so making one wont be unbalanced (kos they are not that powerful)
