Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 …or would if I came out with a couple scenarios for it. Good, thought through ones that take awhile to put together. Not anything of the caliber of that great artist, Vince Fizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Quote: There are, in fact, several people who still prefer BoE. That statement in Kel's faq is correct. For example, I don't even have BoA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well anyway, I just started a refresher scenario today, I believe I got all the terrain done so far, about 6 towns total in 1 outdoor. Gonna be a hackfest, not really anything more. It will be short enough to be worth your time perhaps? It's just to get my re-aquainted with BoE after my absence.

Ineffable Wingbolt DesertPlah Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Were I interested, I would have been chongging dongs a long time ago. EDIT: What I meant to say was, thanks, I didn't know there was a contest on. I'll enter this, but I won't be putting enough effort in to expect anything worthwhile. This is just for practice, kinda like Teh Fuleish Giant. Except that one was also for story-telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Emo Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Been playing BoE scenarios since before most of you were born. I am trying to play ALL of them, that I can find. Rat now I'm stuck in one called Dagger of Mystery because it is a mystery to me how one gets the danged dagger to work ! Anybody ever heard of this one? Can't find anybody or anyplace to ask about it. Emo Reporting from Fort Mudge, Idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Quote: Originally written by Emo:Been playing BoE scenarios since before most of you were born. Astonishingly enough, most of us are not under the age of 10, so this seems unlikely. Quote: I am trying to play ALL of them, that I can find. An honorable quest! One place to go that may assist you: the Archive , which has every known BoE scenario. It should have everything that is available, and if you manage to find something that it doesn't have, e-mail me, because I'd like to put it up. Quote: Can't find anybody or anyplace to ask about it. I'm not sure where you think you are, but you happen to be posting on the Blades of Exile forum on the Spiderweb Software site. The people here are the "anybody" to ask about it, and this place is the "anyplace" to ask about it. There's also the Lyceum , which has less traffic but is also a good place to look for help.

Curious Artila SYNTAX_ERROR Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I still play, but haven't released any scenarios of my own... some of the scenarios I've played from others were kinda sucky, imo, and there are a few that were great. I was working on my own scen., but it corrupted completely, my monitor melted into a synthesized goo, my computer exploded, and my cat caught on fire. Heh, I'm exaggerating... but after all that work, it sure felt like it >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila malkav11 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I can't say as I "still" play it, because I never really did back in the days of yore. But given that there are a heck of a lot of scenarios for it, and I would wager most of them have never been updated to the Avernum engine, it definitely has a place on my hard drive. It also means that while I don't think any of the Exile games have been entirely superseded by their Avernum counterparts, Blades is much less so than the others.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I haven't been playing it much in the past year, but that is more because of lack of time for playing anything at all. I do still have BoE installed, and although I have a hundred scenarios still to play I'd welcome any new addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk stepped pyramids Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Quote: Originally written by malkav11:... most of them have never been mangled on the horrific Procrustean bed that is the Avernum engine ... Fixed your typo. In addition, I would still be playing BoE if it weren't for the fact that Wine doesn't seem to like Win16 anymore. Which is reasonable enough, but I won't be able to play it until someone brings it up to date. Apparently we're getting close to that, though, so woo.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Last night, I tried BoE on Windows Vista; works good. This was the first time I've played BoE in a couple of months, as I'm currently working on a levelset for SubTerra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
