Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Once I got a little ways into the game, I knew it was the vanatai. Though I think I knew before I started playing. Did anyone else guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah, when the game first came out it went kinda like this. Everyone: Gee, I wonder if Rentar-Ihrno's Vahnatai will be the villains in Avernum 4. Drakey: It's not the Vahnatai. Stareye: It's the Vahnatai. Drakey: Oh wait, it's the Vahnatai after all. Everyone: Damn you, Jeff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 By the time you finish Motrax's Lair, you should have a pretty good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Emperor Tullegolar Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 By the time you finish Avernum 3, you should have a pretty good idea. I don't really think it was supposed to be a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 The game would have been better if the Darkside Loyalists had been the main villans. They could have been working with a Vahnatai sect out to eliminate the other races from the caves and leaving the Loyalists in control of the surface. After all the Vahnatai don't function well up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Men are from Slars Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I guess the Darkside Loyalists would have been better than Rentar II, but I don't find them a very compelling villain either. The one upside would be the potential to resurrect the Scimitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Ephesos Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yeah, I feel like the Scimitar basically got robbed of a decent role in most of the games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 The Darkside Loyalists would have been better than the vahnatai if they were developed properly. The vahnatai were more or less Rentar being a villain because she is now an inveterate villain who kicks puppies and whips kittens. —Alorael, who is sure she has put as much effort into a spell that makes magical feet to kick puppies as X has put into his anvil. It's tough being an abuser of cute animals when you're a rock on a pedestal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Darkside Loyalists seemed almost tacked on to the games as a more organized group of bandits. A little more work and they could have been a real challenge. They would have been a new force in the game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
