Comment on My First Tileset by JonT

Oh, OldTimeRadio in my blog! I can't believe it!

I did read the Bioware social forums before I began; in fact, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who pointed out that Autodesk had these student licenses (I've always used Blender before, but the tools designed for NWN don't seem as advanced and abundant as the plugins for 3ds and Gmax).

Anyhow, I was just trying to learn how NWMax and Veltools work, and now that I've grasped the concept a bit, I might be able to do something that is actually useful.

Anyway, thanks for commenting!

Looks nice! Stop by the NWN 1 custom content forum on the Bioware social site if you have any questions.

I'm with you, word for word pretty much.

It wouldn't be right to complain really, but it's a missed opportunity like you said.

Yes, that's true – each chapter stands on it's own, and there are usually a few years in between each.
However, Avernum 6 provides closure on pretty much all the ongoing plots and characters, and as Jeff's writing is usually absolutely superb, the main characters are very, very memorable.

Exile 3 was the very first shareware game I ever purchased, and I have bought every Spiderweb game since. Avadon was the only one I genuinely disliked, because I couldn't stand the personality of your companions.

See? That's what I mean. For some reason I wasn't aware of these games until not that long ago. I wish I had grown up with them, meaning I would have played when they came out.

The thing is, as far as I know… while the plot advances from one to another, each game is a separate entity with its own party, right? So, I could play Avernum 3 without knowing what happened in Avernum 2, for example, and still know what's happening, couldn't I?

Avernum and Geneforge were develop both at the same time. Geneforge 5 came out before Avernum 6. You should play Avernum 1 (the new one is fine), Avernum 3 and Avernum 6, by the way. In this order. Avernum 6 CONTINUALLY features THE best boss-battles and set-pieces I have ever seen in any RPG ever.

Geneforge 5 has a stunning amount of plot-branches, and is very much worth playing for that alone. You can join or betray and rejoin and rebetray pretty much any of the five major factions – it's very, very political and very, very well done.

Both Geneforge and Avernum are finished, story-wise.

Well, yeah. There certainly is an impact on your party composition. In my second run I'm using a heavy armor fist fighter, a tanky lizardman rogue, a throwing weapon minotaur rogue and an air mage, and I'm just rushing through combats. Yet, the fact that you can't be deadlocked also means just that, that in the end, you could finish the game pretty much with anything. My first team was really suboptimal, with two poorly leveled fighters, a bow/dodge rogue and a fire/ice wizard that had too many points in earth and spellcraft. And still, the only room I really, really remember having me sighing and reloading again and again was the inner sanctum after opening the portal. And, of course, the final battle where I was trying to evade the pits and cornered myself many times before deciding that I rather used the pits as an emergency exit. It took me around 15 hours and 40 minutes to complete the game, but with a "proper" party that time could have very well been reduced at least an hour.

I can't wait for the level editor X)
