Fledgling Fyora CortlandStark Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I just started playing Escape From The Pit a few days ago and I'm absolutely loving it. I was surprised to see that there are no decent wikis or information hubs set up for it though (present location excepted of course.) So I got to thinking I'll just set one up myself as I play through the game. It's a pretty big task though, seeing how big the game is so I was wondering if its something people here might like to also submit content to? Of course if there is already a decent one that I've managed to miss then please point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What are you looking for in a wiki? If you're looking for in-character game world info, it exists: there is Encyclopedia Ermarian based on the two previous iterations of the game, Exile and Avernum, which have the same game world and storyline. If you're looking for mechanics and strategy info, that exists here, just not in wiki form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora CortlandStark Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Game world info and strategy definitely. But I was also thinking quest info\solutions by area as well as item, spell and skill info etc. If most of that is already here then my time would probably be better spent just playing the game, but if its not it could be a useful tool.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 quests you get from job boards at towns and castle etc and speaking to peoples in towns and castle etc but all quests you can't do as soon as you get quest (like reach Erika's tower which is late part of game).

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That's all here. Look at the stickied "Strategy Central" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW thanks for introducing me to Encyclopedia Ermarian. Me too. I did once think of implementing a Wiki for these games, but decided simply to write my own hints. It is a lot of work, takes rather a long time but I find the result satisfying, even if there are rather more typing errors than I would like. The Encyclopedia Ermarian is very good and contains some nice background information, but like many such projects has too little content. Wikis share a basic problem with all encyclopaedias: they are excellent as works of reference, but it is very difficult just to read through them.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 EE actually has a fairly large amount of content as far as the first three games are concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I just looked at the wrong pages. Most of those I found at were just stubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 It looks so 'professional'. It even has ads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
