Fledgling Fyora BlueEyedExile Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hi, I've been playing spiderweb games since i was like, 10 years old almost. I loved exile and i love avernum. There's always been something I've been curious about... In playing both avernum and exile there are certain NPC encounters that involve an almost vague reference to homosexuality. My purpose in asking if I am correct is purely curiosity. Im just wondering as well that, if indeed i am correct, why is the "support" or mention of it so obscure and I guess, hidden? Thanks.

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 We on the boards can only guess at Jeff's motives (if you want a direct answer, e-mail him), but there are definitely some gay people (Nance and Elspeth come to mind). My feeling is that it's not entirely accepted in Avernum — people don't really like to broadcast explicitly that they're gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 In Upper Avernum in A3 there are a fairly large number of rainbow symbols floating around. I can't remember if this is true in E3 also. If I had to guess I'd say that Jeff veils his references to avoid offending his audience, but a good justification for the game would be the fact that on the surface, at least, homosexuality is grounds for banishment. —Alorael, who can't think of any characters besides Nance and Elspeth, though. There are the other rainbow people in Upper Avernum but their significant others don't appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 While the topic's been revived, I suppose I may as well mention that A4 seems to imply that Walner is gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 That was already implied in A3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The isolated hut in A2 (near the Motrax hospital cave) is a safe house for Ethridge and Tori. Sun symbol with a circular rainbow around it adorns the doorway. One bed, if you were curious or slow. *this message sponsored by melissa and amos?* One more sighting for you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
