Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Definitely uncovering the secret of the Shapers on Sucia in G1. Probably the best twist in a SW game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 In either A1 or A2, my party was going into a fortress run by giants, with a significant chunk of their HP/SP already gone. As the party walked into the entrance, a message popped up saying that they walked into a trap and fell down a trapdoor. Instead of the usual "1 - OK" at the bottom, there was "1 - Oops." I didn't want to overwrite my save at this point, because there was a fair chance I wouldn't be able to fight my way out (I did), so I made a new save: 'oops.sav'. Ever since then, I've used 'oops.sav' as my backup save. Whenever things look grim, or whenever I want to start doing something stupid without clobbering my usual save, I use 'oops.sav'. And know you know where this comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Death Knight Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Avadon-Shadow tarkus/miranda plot Geneforge 1-Sholai meeting and actually talking I would say that the sholai was more unique but i still loved the avadon plot.

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Off the top of my head, in G4 or G5, there's a Drakon hiding in a hard to get through crypt, and once you get through the final crypt boss but before you get to the drakon there are some rats you can talk to. The dialog box that pops of says "The rat says, 'squeak.' " There are a few other humorous lines in the games that I've enjoyed, and one particular spot where you can surrender to bandits. As far as plots or mechanics go, in G4 I really enjoyed the Shaper Monarch section, forming a team with other npc's was a unique experience.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 My favorite moment is from G1, and it's actually a bug. Click to reveal.. It's possible to outrun Trajkov to the Geneforge, and destroy it before he gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked. It was Travalds crypt in the rebel lands of game 5. The bandits are also in geneforge 5, to the southwest of the rebel lands.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 E/A2, chapter 2. Dark Waters is my favorite moment(s) of being lost in the wilderness, alone, in any game. —Alorael, who didn't think too hard or hedge nearly enough about that statement. He'll just let it stand. It's a fantastic interlude in an otherwise very different game in a very different series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've always enjoyed the Battle at the Ornotha Ziggurat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 My serious answer would probably be Dark Waters. I still can't decide if the Ornotha Ziggurat is good or bad. It was definitely exciting, and epic in scope, and I had fun with it, but turn-based combat is really unsuited for such events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If not the Ornotha Ziggurat, then probably that first moment I reached the Northern Isles in either Exile 1 or 2 - I forget which came first. That point always felt the most epic to me - here you've reached the outskirts of human experience, beyond the frontier. Here the vast and, in my experience at the time, unmatched size of Avernum came into full, almost vertigo inducing view. It was a harrowing sense of sheer distance I'm not sure I've ever felt again, but has always stuck with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittering Clawbug ProperPseudonym Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Easily, and by far Exile III. Okay... the original nethergate holds a special place in my heart as well. . . but my reasons for picking E3 are simple -- The best spell list ever present in any spiderweb software game, an enormous and engaging outdoor environment which was not toned down one bit in terms of difficulty with much more random content than I remember seeing in games since. I see it as the culmination of the mastery which was budding in Exile 1 & 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Tirien Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hmm.. Probably when I first played a spiderweb game, Avernum 2, and ran about on the demo for over a month before buying it, and loving every moment of its size, the secrets hidden about, and the massive storyline and descriptions.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Would this include forum stuff? Because if so, the AIMhack dice. Fire pistol at enemy: 1 Heal ally: 1 (yay for the not killing on fumble perk) Heal useless NPC: 20 Tinker with party's only working vehicle: 1 Stop Ben from bleeding out: 1 Angrily kicking surrendered NPC in face: 20 You can't tell me those dice weren't out to get me. I think I rolled a 20 once when it really mattered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(snip) The AIMHack dice are fickle mistresses, to be sure, but they do occasionally come through on meaningful roles. They're just buried amongst the child-killing and wish-backfiring fumbles.

Garrulous Glaahk SamSniped Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I play something like that on a different forum (but instead using Chatango.com), and one of the players kicked a guy in the nuts with a natural 20. Another player tried to shoot the sky and MISSED On Spiderweb, though, my favorites are GF4, AV3, and the various stories like The Insidious Infiltrator on the GF series thead.

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 For me, it's got to be X3's beginning. I'm normally a Geneforge fanboy. However, the excitement of being picked out as national celebrities by Avernum, seeing the Surface in all its wide continental beauty, and having all the diplomatic pressures and anxieties of maybe going to war with the Empire, maybe working through espionage to secure Avernum's position, maybe negotiating peaceful interactions was all too exciting. Starting off as important somebodies is something that Jeff occasionally does, but nowhere did he do it as well as in X3. And the sense of exploration from navigating Valorim, a continent controlled by a very strong, potentially hostile empire was exhilarating.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I liked the Avernum 3 beginning where you find out that you're the second string being sent in after the A-team went missing. You're being sent in on a deadline and there isn't much confidence in your success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hmm...a few favorite moments off the top of my head: The finale of the Cotra mission in A6 Arena battle against the slith chieftain in Formello in A6 Solberg's mission in A6 I love N:R for its atmosphere and plot, and appreciate some great things about G1 / G2 / A:EFTP, but I must give A6 credit for having the most exciting set-piece battles or scripted events I've seen in Jeff's games.

Kyshakk Koan Mistb0rn Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I'd have to say either figuring out how to make some ridiculously complicated nodechain finally work properly in BoE, or all the cool endings of G1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
