![]() ![]() And I hate to poo poo on all the effort that he put into it, but his attempt to flesh out the companions and build a focused campaign story also fell flat for me. The setting isn't as exotic as Geneforge, Nethergate, or even the baseline Exile/Avernum, even though he's stated Avadon was a concerted effort to do something new. I'll probably buy Avadon 2 but I felt that Avadon was a bit of a letdown compared to his other series. I'm still really early in the game but I am enjoying it way more than I did the first. THIS BADGE OF SHAME IS WORTH 0.45 DOUBLE DRAGON ADVANCES Goddamn! It's like loving Skyrim compared to the old engine.Īvadon 2 is out today on Steam and the Spiderweb site. I'm about 10 hours into 6 and holy poo poo I had no idea they re-did the engine. I managed to beat Avernum 5, but what a slog. I checked the Spiderweb forums and he still posts pretty consistently so hopefully he is doing OK. Possibly someone else will pick them up eventually. Yeah, unfortunately the guy who currently maintains those has a pretty advanced case of Parkinson's disease, so his ability to work on that kind of stuff is getting limited. ![]() This is one game where limited level scaling would've been beneficial. There's no clear guide in place so I'd frequently stumble into a high-level encounter, get oneshotted, and then repeat the experience elsewhere until I found someplace more to my liking. I dont think I would've continued playing EftP without the "What should I do next?" guide. My second complaint is that I wish the guy would finish his annotated maps, they are all awesome but end half way through 5. Turning the light on the darkest places, you and I know we got to face this now. (They're sort of related, since if you're stuck somewhere you can't really go off somewhere else - most of the sidequests are actually harder than the main plot.) A6 is a lot more open-ended. Yeah, A5 definitely got complaints about both difficulty and linearity. Is it me or is this game harder than 1-4? Also this is by far the most linear of the Avernum games. So I'm playing Avernum 5 and just got past the Anama Lands. ![]()
