Chittering Clawbug Old Scratch Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 There is no way (save cheating) anyone could defeat Avernum 3 without a mage and a priest, and a strong fighter is pretty much a given. The choice of your fourth character is optional, but an archer is pretty necessary too, because there have been many times when I've really depended on my archer. On the one hand, it's sort of limiting; choosing to make an all-sorcerer, all-archer or all-fighter party would be certain death. An all warrior-priest party might be able to hack it, granted, but it wouldn't be a sure thing. On the other hand, it's nice to see the characters' co-dependence. My archer is my least-necessary character, but he is still very useful, with high Nature Lore and passable defensive and melee skills. Has anyone else had any luck with a non-standard party?

Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Somebody (Drakey?) had beaten E3 with a no-magic singleton, so you don't really need all 4 characters. As for specifics, when you visit the Anama, you'll see that Jeff intended the game to be winnable with no mages in your party. Removing priests as well would make things harder, but still doable if you rely on a lot of potions and scrolls. Most typical singleton is a fighter/magic user combo. Since I haven't done any of these crazy variants myself, that's about as much detail as I can give you. EDIT: Since most magic effects can be obtained from scrolls and potions and since blessed and hasted warrior is one of the most efficient ways to kill anything, a no-magic party isn't as impossible as it sounds.

Yes, I am also registered on the Ambrosia Software boards. I very much enjoy Escape Velocity: Nova; I think it could benefit from a few changes and improvements, but overall it's a wonderful game. The various add-ons and Total Conversion plug-ins don't hurt the enjoyment factor, either (although really there are only Polycon and the ports of the previous two Escape Velocities at the moment). Hopefully, some of the TCs that have been in the works for a while will be coming out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
