Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Are they gone now? When I mouse over an item, it tells me the items stats, but are there any more item desciptions? Some of those had really made me laugh before, and I tried looking but couldn't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think they've been gone sine Exile series. But yeah they were really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 They were still around in Nethergate, and I think also the earlier Avernums. They disappeared in A3 or A4, I think. —Alorael, who'd bet on the latter. They're definitely gone in Geneforge, and A4 uses the same engine (sort of), so that's a likely disappearing point.

Garrulous Glaahk Barzhal Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Item descriptions are available in all games by right clicking on the item. Perhaps it's different in A6 as I haven't played it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 A6 gives information in a pop-up window on mouseover. In any case, the question is about the descriptive text that used to come with items. —Alorael, who liked being told regularly that all food in Avernum is disgusting. And he's fairly sure the text was still around in A3, as he recalls the same disgusting Avernite food description on comestibles in Valorim.

Ineffable Wingbolt Øther Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 But I'm fairly certain that they were there in A5, since those are the ones I'm remembering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually some of the items in the Geneforge series still have descriptions, usually in an unbolded text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk SevenMass Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 On a side note; All food being disgusting is unrealistic. To someone who was send down from the surface maybe, but those who grew up in Avernum will not see it that way. When they eat a baked mushroom, they will fondly remember the times when their mother used to make baked mushrooms for them. No, they won't think of it as disgusting. That a soldier from the empire, such as in A5 thinks that way is understandable. But the same text description appearing to the soldiers of Avernum such as in A6 is really strange. But then, if the same descriptions appear on food on the surface in A3 (I never played A3) then I guess I shouldn't complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
