Garrulous Glaahk Rionep Ecnirp Etlevs Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 [EDIT]: Having played a bit of Avernum 6, I see that the Geneforge engine gives you quite a large inventory without the restrictive weight limit for packing unequipped items. [/EDIT] This ties into my idea for a bank deposit. For the sake of convenience, imagine a method of turning your items into their value of gold without returning to a shop. It could be a spell called "Like Lead to Gold," "Turn to Gold," or "Midas Touch." Or it could be a potion that does the same. Perhaps it would require a high skill investment, high price to purchase the spell/recipe, cost xp per item, or cost a skill point to cast (like a certain spell in Nethergate), but it replaces every unequipped item in inventory with its equivalent in Gold (based on item description). Obviously I'm complicating a Gold system that has worked fine for thousands of players, but I wanted to throw it out there. It's just that I've always farmed gold from item selling, but I've never enjoyed the time spent on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Also, turning your inventory into gold would usually be a bad thing. Backup items? Potions and scrolls? Poof! —Alorael, who thinks the larger obstacle is the fact that the series is over, at least for now. There aren't likely to be any more Avernums. Remakes will come along one day, quite possibly with a new name, but there will be no A7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Rionep Ecnirp Etlevs Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 I never carried too many backup items, but I figured you could just drop them indoors before casting a Gold spell. Oh well. It's the silliest of my ideas so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Ishad Nha Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 There is a maximum number of items that can be stored in any town record: 144. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 and who would buy bread made of gold or 25 of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Rionep Ecnirp Etlevs Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 I didn't mean that an item turns into a golden item; it empties out your inventory and increases your "Gold," the game currency. In the older games, I hated filling my pack and traveling back to unload at a shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
