Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Okay, I really need to get a better computer. Mine is starting to get awfully close to Jeff's recommended system requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Looks like we still have Chainmail Bikini Woman. Do we still have the male counterpart? Also, youpi for Phil Foglio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I played A3 with P2-266 MHz computer (it had some S3 graphic adapter I think) and A1-5 with P3-500 MHz (Radeon 7000) so ...... 10-20 years from now Jeff might rewrite Exile again.

I would be surprised if we didn't also have the male version, since Jeff seems to be sticking pretty close to the spirit of the original portraits. I notice that some of the sprites are new, too, which is really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Oooh we get a discount for having purchased the original trilogy. Edit: Am I the only one who thinks that map is an eyesore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Something else interesting: those screenshots make it look like the game will use A4-6 style movement, rather than Geneforge/Avadon movement with walking animations.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Jeff's said there will be walking animations but also an option to turn them off for faster movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I think the new "global" map is nice myself, but the texture the artist used for the cave walls is a bit overdeveloped, and makes a lot of the tunnels of far northern Avernum easy to lose in the chaos.

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well, Spiderweb _is_ a family business. It wouldn't be out of the question for the kids to start working for it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I think Miranda's role in Avadon would be a bit more awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I remember talking to Jeff about Miranda's fate in GF5, can't find the email, but he wasn't worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Redbeard looks more than a little like Jeff. Cordelia I understand, but why would killing off Miranda be more awkward than having her backstab and kill him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Mostly because of the implied romance between her and Alwan. It was an undignified ending to a cool character. Plus, the real Miranda is going to be a teenager eventually, so the Avadon backstabbing will be appropriate then. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe running Spiderweb Software is like being a Sith Lord and she will have to defeat Jeff in a duel before she runs the company. Makes a lot more sense then .

Are you sure that's in X3? It's not in my dump of either game, although apparently both E/A2 and A3 have characters named Miranda. EDIT: Aha, that's because it is about Cordelia, not Miranda. A3 only. In E3 the baby's name is Edward AND you can't complain about the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
