Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 There's still at least one time-based event in the game, but it's not preventable, so you can take your time as much as you like. I never found time to be a factor at all in A3. I finished everything (literally every quest in the game) around day 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyshakk Koan Mortimer Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I finished much to soon for the one time based event as well ... I had to do alot of courier quests while I waited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I had the same problem in Exile 3, with the timed event. I started over just to get it the second time and pace myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila jestrada5 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 I have to wait until day 110? If i do the alien beast stuff and win will that time based event still take place? I am only on day 80. I suppose i can ditch the horses and walk everywhere, but if the alien beast don't kill off towns like the rest now is the chance to go explore everything and do all the dungeons i skipped. Not to mention all the quest i have ignored and the arifacts i can now go and pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the game ends after you win (you can't keep playing), so any quests you want to do, you have to do before you win. Of course, you could always keep a backup savefile outside the final dungeon and go back to it after you've won to see anything you've missed.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I'd say you should head back to Krizsan, buy a lot of food, and rest for a very long time. If you've got any metal lumps left or haven't taken advantage of the Bunker, now is the time to do it. You've got nothing but time while you wait until day 160. —Alorael, who has also actually never experienced the final event without deliberately seeking it out.

Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 If you are about to finish the alien beasts and still want to complete the event that occurs on day 160 (which shall remain unnamed) you could always just use the editor to fast forward to day 160. Its significantly less annoying than sitting around resting, and is what I did. (I knew about the event from E3, and had finished Avernum 3 far before it had a chance to occur on its own.)

Garrulous Glaahk ginger8445 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 U can fix the day 160 and the 110 events with the charcter editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Lurking Eyebeast Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Don't be surprised if it does not happen on day 160. It happend on day 161 on my computer and on Rache's Avernum 3 site it says that it could happen from day 160 to day 163. By the way, the alien beasts desyroyed the towns before the game starts.

Kyshakk Koan Mortimer Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I descovered if your fast enough you can reach the normally slime destroyed town before it becomes destroyed .... nobody is there though .... I don't think it would be possible to check if the Alien beast towns are the same (as you need permission to enter the province and all).

It should be possible. Just get permission by playing through the game normally, then reset the day via character editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk mistica Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well after so many replies to your post, i think this might come as a shock when I say there is no real time limits... because its just a game. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL *Facepalm* As for the Ruins of Colchis, it's been stated before that it isn't destoryed if you get to it on Day 1. But has anybody tested whether or not it stays that way if you kill the slimes on Day 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
