I think I remember a project to update boe a few years back

I remember the sequel announcement (or maybe he just mentioned that he was thinking about it on here and it wasn't really an announcement) and was wondering if anything was being done with that anytime soon. 

I also think I remember the first expedition being speculation and all he said was sequel, but i could be remembering wrong and i don't feel like looking back for it right now.

I think soldiers in the original avernum 2 had more clearance

>non-combat

>kill lizards

u wot m8?

dying from lack of food is one thing I hated about the exile series.

well, I mean, his quests definitely benefit himself. he's always been that kind of guy.

Given its proximity to the empire controlled lands, will the freehold of Kyass be playing a major role in the upcoming rewrite?

there were already a couple cities that didn't play a major role in avernum/exile 2, so i guess the answer is maybe. some possible answers:

no major role, because the empire invaded it and it's a major base that we can't enter. major role because it's a major base we can enter. major role because kyass is putting his problems with avernum aside for the time being, or at least sees the empire as just as much of an enemy. major role, but only because the empire took it over and decided to change its name to harston.

Just thought of another wish for Avernum 3 ... I'd like an alternate good ending, like in 1, 5 and 6. An ending where you bribe the people controlling access off Valorim to let you past so you can just get the heck away from Avernum and the Vahnatai might be nice. So might one where you decide you agree with Rentar's plans and totally destroy the Empire.

i want to say this is impossible, but 4 had an ending where you didn't have to kill rentar, so i guess anything is possible, after all. i can't think of anything really better than the canon ending, though. maybe some bad endings if you pick the wrong guilty party.

 

as for myself, i'd like to see a return of hostile1 and hostile2. it's not something that'd be used often at all, but seeing archers from 2 cities at war with each other (i think spire and bargha in 4, but my memory might be off) seeing each other...and then shooting only at me..just kind of bothered me. i might just ragequit if the zombies and empire soldiers in that one fort in avernum 2 don't fight each other just as much as they fight me. other than that, more new magic items.

Huh, I thought I remembered them being in exile.

I miss the holidays. I don't remember them being in avernum either, though.

Even the final fantasy series has had ninjas since the first game

I'm going to assume you're new to the series, since that's what it sounds like from your question. The second game-which, as was previously mentioned, will probably be called crystal souls-takes place a few years after escape from the pit and the storyline happens as a result of escape from the pit. It's not like mk9 where it follows the storyline of the first three games in that series. It's impossible to do something like that in this series because your heroes are different people.

it also shows the join date on chrome.

there definitely was some really, really heavy armor (there was at least one person who drowned because he fell on his back and couldn't get up), but that was the exception to the rule.

haven't played the game in a long time, but pretty sure the music is from that. obviously, the image is.

i think i remember guessing 870 for avernum 5

the way i see it is you can't really go halfway with some of the ideas being thrown out in here, otherwise it won't look right. and chances are jeff doesn't want to have fully animated backgrounds because his budget isn't really big enough for that.

i think i would.

was funnier before you added to it

you don't get jokes.

yeah, there weren't enough igloos or mounties in that video.

i kind of wish i was still as crazy as i used to be in my teens, because then i'd probably go on wipeout myself.

 

anyway, good luck. if nothing else, you got a good video out of it.

threads that stay on topic are no fun anyway

as a general rule of thumb, i try to upgrade every spell to the max, just don't always end up doing it.

yeah, jeff could do a spin off maybe, but chances are his core market would prefer something more original.

yeah, you should probably plunk a bunch of skill points into it
