Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Judging by precedent, I'd guess that A5 will cost $28. —Alorael, who expects other information will be revealed in due time. Or perhaps not. Anticipation is good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Arch-Mage Solberg Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Spidweb: Solberg has a decently sized role. That's all I need to know! Quote: Originally written by 227 Chitrachballons:Edit: Oh yeah. Solberg having a bigger role is interesting. He's already the only major character to appear in every game. Hopefully, he will also have something interesting to say -- he hasn't really done that since 1996. Why don't you come over to my tower and see if I have anything new to say. Quote: Originally written by Andraste:And isn't Solberg like 120 now or something? How long do wizards live for? I can live as long as I want to. I have immense magical skills that you will grow quite fond of in A5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Oh, come on. Solberg hasn't lived in his tower since A2. In A3 he was a ToM resident until evicted by demons, and in A4 he was a bitter, bitter inhabitant and administrator of Patrick's Tower. —Alorael, who thinks that's about as low as a mage can sink. Having to work in a tower named after someone else? That's cruel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Suspicious Vlish Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 For God's sake, Solberg is going to be in Avernum AGAIN? Give me a break.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 In E1, there were very few interesting characters, and Solberg had some good stuff to say about the history of Exile, so he gets a pass. In E2, Solberg was actually a pretty cool character. He actually had a legitimate reason to isolate, withdraw, and be bitter, but for once he didn't whine and complain about other people; he actually tried to be helpful. And he provided an interesting perspective on the final plot point of the game. In E3, he whined and moaned about Linda but didn't actually do anything about her return. I always found that a little bit ridiculous. Solberg was the senior triad member, and I can't imagine either X or Mahdavi really pushing to get Linda back, let alone Micah. So I've always held Solberg partly responsible for the Tower of Magi disaster. Plus, he got demoted to teaching frigging level 4 spells to noobventurers. Lame. A4 saw more whining and moaning and general uselessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time ask: What cheatcodes will be in this one Blake? I spend all my life in cheat sites,I know more cheats than chitrachs in the Eastern Gallery and I know some troubles with them,by example in G4,the code for get more exp doesn't work if you have a level higher than 40.And did you know than before the releasing G4 for Windows took ONLY TWO DAYS for the cheats to appear,That's VERY QUICK.

Magnificent Ornk Swimmin' Salmon Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Yes, I'm sure all this talk about cheats is very fascinating. Especially since it glosses over the very fact that Drakefyre, and his notable absence from these forums, has had a remarkable influence on the the plot of Avernum 5. This is a conspiracy folks, and you are all pawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really that quick. It had been out for Mac for a long time before that. Besides, the question isn't about what cheats are available, it's about what will be available. That is known by at most three people in the world right now. —Alorael, who would expect all the A4 cheats to return. There's no reason for Jeff to carefully remove them from the engine.

You did by accusing him of nothing (or that was what you applied). ...Infernal Flamming Muffin. Blake has definitely disobeyed the CoC, what with his endless talk about him and his friend Dante cracking games open. Not to mention the very poorly- and thinly-veiled suggestions that he and his friend could supply cracks to members of the board. He's basically hanging himself. EDIT: The only reason I'm not with Infernal (not muffin) on this one is that Blake has claimed to be working on a Blades of Avernum scenario, and thus I can't completely write him off yet. But I'd suggest that he finishes that thing as soon as possible, to establish some concrete reason as to why he's not being banned yet.

Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 yay! from everything ive heard, there will be no way around a5 for me. finally another game i would gladly pay for after the avernum trilogy! theres only one thing i still have to hope for, though: that a5 will resurrect some of the a1-a2 flair. which means, of course, that at least a part of the game has to happen in the underworld. edit: i forgot. if rentar-ihrno really comes back as an undead, i will repel spirit her *** so long she'll keep herself from ever being mentioned again in any game in the world so she doesnt risk getting any more of my attention. isnt my nickname humiliating enough to keep her away? damn rentar. i started hating her the second she wouldnt let me inside her lab.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 What a horrible poster. Rentar isn't coming back. Jeff said as much, or at least intended to. And Erika, sadly, isn't coming back either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 What he said is that Rentar is still dead. He didn't comment on the suggestion that she might still appear as an undead beastie (and with Garzahd there is a precedent). That's not saying it's going to happen, but it's not impossible.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Garzahd's brief reappearance was effective in its creepiness.

Ineffable Wingbolt Rent-an-Ihrno Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 phew. that was my first post in this forum for a long time, and ive already drawn the attention of the i-am-the-best-poster-brigade. i really dont want to get into flaming, so just read my post again - more carefully this time. im sure that would make you rethink your reply. however. ill keep out of the solberg-discussion, since i havent made up my own mind about that yet. but there is one thing that i would like to have in a5: structured quest lists. for example, there could be a section for unending quests ("xxx will pay you for any zzz you bring him"), or for major and minor quests... you know? or show them on a kind of 'quest map'. or what about 'progress indicators'. and stuff. nothing too fancy, just whats useful. you get the idea.

I tried for a similar level of intricacy as Geneforge 4: Rebellion. Does this mean there will be more than one possible ending, Geneforge style? Or does it just mean more scripted characters and events? Either way is great, but an 'evil' ending for an Avernum series game would be really cool.
