![]() ![]() After a few missions, the structure of returning to each location in a cyclical fashion becomes apparent. Whereas Avernum: Escape from the Pit shows the influence of older classics like Ultima IV+V (the boat driven exploration especially) Avadon evokes more of the Baldur's Gate style of party-interaction and Icewind Dale's mission to mission (A to B to C) approach in the main quest. However, this does not detract by any means away from the immense fun I've had with this title.Īvadon is more linear in style and less open-world, but delivers a tighter narrative with more role-playing oriented choices available in dialogue and more fleshed out joinable npcs. My total playtime for Avadon was 79 Steam hours which was considerably shorter when compared with the 119 for Avernum. This is just my second Spiderweb Software game, the discovery of which I certainly have this forum and some its veteran members to thank for. I thought I'd post some reflections upon my recent completion of Avadon. I didnt play Avadon myself but its the most recent of all 3 games so it might be a good pick if you arent into older games/classics.As a kind of sister thread a year onwards now after my completing Avernum: Escape from the Pit ( ) I kinda forced myself to finish the game to see the ending and it felt like a chore. Its still a good game but just for the story, and sadly it gets weaker as you progress. Geneforge combat was bland af and so many fights are frustrating and makes you want to uninstall because you are a single character getting perma stunned/slept/feared etc. Writing is better, story is better, lore is better, map is better, level design is better, is has much more content/quests and exploration value.Īvernum sits in the list of my top 5 RPGsīiggest difference is combat which is squad based = much more in depth and tactical. Avernum is a far superior game in every aspect. The only way you can like this game is if you dont know better cause you started gaming last week.Īs to answer the OP : I finished Geneforge 1 and spent over 100 hours in Avernum 1 and the EftP remake. I still remember the very first quests ''Go get some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ berries in the woods'' thats how unepic that game is. The story is pathetic and way subpar compared to any other RPG out there. The whole point of this game was to be a money grab at the old cRPG fans. Pillars of eternity is the worst RPG ever I dont understand how kids even enjoy it. ![]() ![]() (Although they are something else, gameplay-wise) Something I only experienced with the Gothic and Witcher series. Great writing, very believable and immersive and dirty/gritty. I only played some Avadon and am just recently returned to Avernum: Into the pit on my tablet after a long break.But after some more hours now I again do realize that I already have ~5 new "loose ends" which I will have problems coming back to because I do not make any notes. Yeah, I really get the feeling that these are the only games nowadays where you really have to make notes or make a file or database in which you write down all the spots where you could not make progress and wanted to come back to later on. I got near end-game for both of them and I just got lost and stuck. Honestly, Avernum 2 is just way too unorganized and confusing for me.
