Curious Artila Xiarrel-Te Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 ... that Avernums IV, V, and VI had been an Exile series? I mean, the Avernum series is great, and I get that the continuous indoor/outdoor world appeals to some audiences, but there's something about Exile that just isn't recaptured in Avernum. The transparency, the simplicity, something. I really wish I could experience first-hand (i.e. not just from reading on forums) what happens to this world post-III, but I just can't get into Avernum no matter how hard I try. Collaborative Blades project, anyone? Gah, but who has time for that. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I am currently trying to do a play through of A4, I tried before and stopped. I am really tired of exploring the Eastern Gallery one square at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Ask Slarty about the time he counted how many chitrachs there were in the Eastern Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 That would just depress me. I think that i have a fair amount of it cleared, but I know not all of it is. The pylons help, but there is still a lot of out and back trips from Fort Dunno and the other friendly locations to clear an area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Quiconque Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I counted 227, but I think somebody else counted later and got a number a bit higher. I'm honestly not sure I could stomach the amount slog trips back and forth to town, in A4 and later games, if I didn't use solely-time-saving cheat codes to simulate such trips in about 2% of the time. But I suppose I do hate sandwich time almost as much as I hate chitrachs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 The trips back to recharge spell energy were the worst change in the Second Trilogy. Kill a few things and run back to town to conserve potions for the harder fights is one things I will never miss and is why I've never gone back to replay them. The other problem was the lowered action points as you got encumbered so you had to think about only taking cleared paths after loading up with all the loot. Finding out Jeff added ambushes to make those cleared areas now had a new encounter really was nasty the first time you returned from Grindstone.

Unflappable Drayk Edgwyn Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The other action point change is that you need to have a certain number of action points left to do something, five to attack or cast a spell, three to use an item. Get encumbered, take a step or get stunned and all of a sudden you can't do anything useful in a round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
