What are the good scenarios?

[Shiboito]

If some people could give me a list of all the good scenarios out of the very many there are i would thank u all very much

[Sullust]

That list in itself would be fairly large. A good idea would be to check out the Solid Scenarios in the forum header...

[Ash Lael]

He'd be better off checking the Comprehensive Scenario Rankings . However, a lot of the best scenarios are pretty tough for beginners, and some may just not be his style. There's a lot of variety in size, style, difficulty, etc, so it would be easier to recommend if we knew what you're looking for.

For instance, if you loved Exile 3 then you'd probably like Adventurer's Club. And if you loved A Mild Rebellion, you'd probably like Tatterdemalion. If you'd rather have short and sweet, I suggest Back to Normal, The Magnificent Six, and Odessa's Journey. There are many other good scenarios, most of which I have not played yet either, but thought I'd give you a start.

Truth be told,i don't actually hav BOE (yet) but i just needed a bit of help with selecting scenarios.

For a beginner, I'd recommend Spears. It's a large, high-quality scenario, but all of the combat is fairly easy.

Finding the "win" paths can be hard though, so make sure you have back-up save files to go back to.

1.) Read the Forums to find out which have the highest ratings, (opinions of other Players).

2.) Check the size of all the Scenarios you've selected.

3.) Open each *.zip file to read any Text added by the Author, (hints, etc.).

4.) Pin the List on a wall.

5.) Throw a dart at the List.

6.) Start playing.

In truth, only you can pick which ones you'll truly enjoy and that will only be after you've played several of them.

One other point is; Once you've found a Scenario you like, try to find any others done by that Author. The style of play will show in any other Scenarios they've written.

Hard part is that only a few Authors have done more than a couple of Scenarios. But, that, too, is an indicator that they have some talent, so it may be a key to your choice.

Lastly, sometimes "blind luck" provides the best results because you don't have any preset expectations.

Play them like life; as they come.

The link to the Comprehensive Scenario Rankings that Ash Lael posted separates scenarios by their ranking. Everything above 8 is a good scenario, and above 9 is a great scenario.

Also, if you go to Alexandria and check the "Detailed Info" checkbox, when you do a search, you will see a list of attributes for each scenario:

 

A = Amateurish.

B = Buggy.

C = Complex - not for new players.

D = Design is excellent.

E = Epic-like in size, scope.

F = Fighting is overused.

G = Graphics customized are excellent.

P = Puzzles & logical challenges.

R = Rewards balanced for quest difficulty.

S= Storyline is excellent.

T = Spelling and/or grammar errors.

X = Adult content, concepts.

 

This may help you pick the type of scenario you like to play.

Yeah, and don't worry about first playing the very best one; there are many, many good ones. Just find one that looks fun and play it, unless of course there's about 1000 posts on the CSR thread saying the scenario is not worth the download.
