Well-Actually War Trall Sir Motrax of Exile Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Hi Forum! I'm back. I saw this Queen's Wish thing and downloaded it and lost a few hours of my life! Yay! What else is new around these parts? I see Geneforge is back (that's a remake of the original, yes?). I don't recall Avernum 4/5/6 being here when I last visited. How are they? Why do I even ask... I should just purchase and play. Uhh... I guess that's all I have to say. That, and... hello! - SMoE EDIT: Yay! I still have my custom title! EDIT 2: Also I added a beautiful MS Paint portrait. Now everyone will recognize me around here.

Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hello old person. I mean, long time resident of these boards. I'm not assuming your age. Avernum 4 - 6 are great and well worth a purchase/playthrough. If money is tight, they come in the Avernum 1 - 6 bundles on those fancy game sites. I feel like I robbed Jeff because I got 6 amazing games for less than $20. Geneforge Remake is a grand old time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Welcome back! If you don't remember Avernum 4 from 2006, you might not know that Blades of Exile is Free Open Source Software under GNU GPL 3.0 as of 2007. I like the avatar.

Hope the years have been good! The second Avernum Trilogy play more like modern SW than the older Trilogy, but they're still a lot of fun. They regularly go on sale on Steam, so there's a good chance you can snag them for cheap. And, of course, Jeff still have huge demos so you can try stuff out.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Oh, you were last here in 2015, says my profile stalking. FOSS BoE and Avernum 4-6 were definitely around then, but if you didn't notice then it's just as well that you noticed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Sir Motrax of Exile Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Hi ADoS! It's been a while, hasn't it? You must be like 10,000 years old now! Thanks for pointing out that Avernum 4-6 were around... I probably even knew then, but just forgot. Also, hi Nikki! Did you have a different name? I think you did... but with member numbers gone, I cannot figure out who you were/are. (Ok, even if you had your member number, I probably still would not remember 😝). Regarding Queen's Wish... there still isn't a range indicator! I still have my archer try to wander halfway around the world because they were one space out of range to just attack! Ugh. This is the single most irritating thing in the entire universe. Now I have a question about the Avernum bundle. Does the one on GOG (https://www.gog.com/game/avernum_the_complete_saga) include the updated versions of 1-3? It says it includes the "original versions" so maybe that answers my question... if that's the case, is there a bundle where I can get the updated versions? And is it preferable to get it from a different source (i.e., one that pays more to Spiderweb)? Sorry for all my questions, I really am a senile reptile these days. Edit: Also, hi Chopkinsca! I guess you're new around here, so... welcome! Edited March 9, 2021 by Sir Motrax of Exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume buying the games straight from this site is the best way if you want Jeff to get most of the money. I don't know much about any cuts that other stores like Steam take. 3 hours ago, Sir Motrax of Exile said: Edit: Also, hi Chopkinsca! I guess you're new around here, so... welcome! Thanks. It's weird to be so new here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Sir Motrax of Exile Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Oh, hi Kelandon! After playing the Queen's Wish demo, I decided to go ahead and revisit Avernum 1-infinity. I've made it all the way to Silvar already!

Ineffable Wingbolt Arch-Mage Solberg Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Welcome back, Sir Motrax. Glad to see that you are still around at times. There are some good games still being made by ole Jeff and Marianne. I also come here from time to time to check in with everyone.

Articulate Vlish Losrandir Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 It is wonderful to see the great ones unite at times. Even at time passing, for time, after all, is merely a strange illusion. Godbless to thee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
