If Jeff wanted crossover Avernum/Geneforge/that one game with the Scottish people in it/Avadon games, he'd make them. And it would be seen as the ravings of a madman, unless thee Ecksian Skull said it (To the best of my knowledge, that is the only other time there is a direct reference to the other series in-game)

Might be mistaken though, of course, since as I said, it's been a while. I believe it is also in the Companion cube level, the latter bits of the final level, and also the turrets level. I remember this because I played the game through in commentary mode, and they talked incessantly about how that helped to build "atmosphere"

I would hazard a guess that it is all about cost and the lack of available, but decent, open source game engines. That probably also has to do with the fact that Jeff would have more control over game mechanics in an engine he wrote so he can incorporate every aspect he feels he needs and drop the ones he dosen't want.

Originally Posted By: Nioca I guess he just... *sunglasses* couldn't face it. Ahem. Click to reveal.. But on your more serious note, I think that the Geneforge engine and the Nethergate engine (aka the Avernum engine) both represented pretty clean breaks from the past. I see no reason why this engine should owe too much to the Exile engine. It certainly dosen't look much like his early games!

And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I'd peg Shakespeare as a writer for The Onion or Cracked or the Daily show/Colbert Report if he were alive today, given the whole satire/comedy theme in most of his plays, even though he dealt with serious things some times. Especially the Daily Show, in fact.

If you used the exitzone cheat, then you could have messed up the zone- that happened to me. Try loading a alternate save file.

Well, I'm pretty sure it is a tongue in cheek poking at the beginning of the later 3 Avernum games- the whole "joined the army but winded up captain of the latrines then saved the world" schtick.

1. No, but that suggesstion was pretty funny. 2. I don't think so, but he may possibly port to Ipad/phone/touch.

Sure. Click to reveal.. Xian Ale - This is found among the loot held by the ogre who's taken over the dryad's grove. It will make your entire party inebriated (drunk) and once in a while, bless everyone as well, negating the negative effects. Xian Chain Mail - This is behind a cracked wall in the southeastern corner of the Upper Golem Factory. You'll need Move Mountains to reach it. It's strong, but it comes with several unmentioned negative stat effects. Either store it somewhere or sell it, but don't try wearing it. Xian Coins - The reward for completing the quest Find Mundt. They'll give you a few coins every now and then. Xian Pouch - In the Sacred Booty room in the Cavern of Giants, where you find the Barrier Tunnel map. It will leak hazardous effects, mostly disease, slow, and paralysis. Xian Rock - Found in the Hermit's Hut in Midori province. This is the same hermit who teaches the Ritual of Sanctification. If used as a missile weapon, this rock automatically returns to the wielder. It will also occasionally spawn regular rocks in your inventory. Xian Shrub - Found in the Sharimik storerooms. It requires Unlock Doors at level 3 or a very high tool use. It will basically cause plants to replicate in your inventory. Xian Slacks - This is in one of the giant villages in the Midori province, west of Dellston. The slacks give a great bonus to luck, but a penalty to your base stats. Xian Skull - Found in an ogre circle in southeast Valorim. Makes random messages pop up from time to time. Xian Tome - Found in the southwestern most room in the Tower of the Magi, in a desk. This merely cycles through all the regular books of the game. A fun diversion, especially the Tearing of the Bodice. Yum. Xian Vest - In the very northeastern corner of Valorim is a man who will sell you this for 5000 coins. You can kill him instead, but just pay him if you can. The vest has high resistance, but some serious stat penalties. Not worth the money, or the merchant's life.

I'll probably miss the beginning of the session, but I should be able to catch the end. I hope.

I'm not stupid/arrogant/Roger Ebert enough (close, but now quite ) to argue that this makes video games worthless. Of course, many stories are unsuited to reproduction as a movie. For example, the Foundation series. Yes, I will continue complaining about that until an unspecified date in 2011.

I would like to submit one of my own. Quote: IN A.D. 2101 WAR WAS BEGINNING.

For whatever reason, whenever I try to download the copy of Exile on the Spiderweb main site, I get an error message along the line of "OOPS! Google chrome cant display this page. Try going to www.spidweb.com", and the file refuses to download. I've tried to hunt around on the various file upload sites for a copy to download, but thy all redirect me to the aforementioned broken Spiderweb site. Does anybody know how to fix this/can point me to a working download site?
