THE MACHO MAN posted:I just loved how huge 3 was, and how different each area was. Two was great though. I haven't finished it yet though, so maybe my opinion will change. It was the only one of the originals I didn't finish. The first Avernum game I played was Escape from the Pit, and after playing through 2 and some of 3, it always sounded like the ambient town noise in Avernum 2 was saying "gently caress you" to me.

Fintilgin posted:I bought Avadon 2 the other day because I thought it was Avernum 2, having finally come out. The Avadon games are pretty fun. Only thing I can complain about in them is there's not really a companion sympathetic to Avadon in any of them.

ducttape posted:I kinda figured that was because Miranda was trying to turn the you against Avadon by partnering you up with the hands with the most reason to dislike it, and giving you the most morally ambiguous assignments. Yeah, that was the reason in the first one, but the second one didn't have something like that if I remember correctly.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Everyone's just a jerk, seems to be the motivation in 2. Seriously, is there a single person who isn't bucking for you to take Redbeard's job, let alone actually favorable to the status quo? I think the Blademaster with the tick isn't a dick and more of a sympathetic character. But she still has the same problem that the other ones have, making you unsympathetic to Avadon, which admittedly is appropriate cause they hosed her over hard.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:So far as I can tell, the only differences in the game engine between Avernum 1 and Avernum 2 are that dual-wielding now limits the weight of the weapon in your off-hand slot What do you mean by this? I remember Avernum 1 made it so you couldn't use broadswords in your offhand, and had to use rapiers/shortswords.

JustJeff88 posted:Close, TMA. I am pretty sure that Jeff is on holiday right now with the recent rerelease of Crystal Souls, but I believe that his plans are Avadon 3, then Exile 3 the reremake, then he will start on the Geneforge games. He said something about preferring to mix projects and not oversaturate the limited market with the same IP. I would much rather he do Exile 3: The remake of the remake first, but I find it hard to argue with the chap. the interview mentioned him wanting to do a new original game after exile 3, before starting the geneforge series.

the problem with geneforge is that they were all already out when i realized they existed. the gameplay never really changes between games, so i only beat the first and last one because of that.

dmboogie posted:It's been a while, but is there really anything keeping Astoria from being the straight up good guy choice? I sided with her when I played the game and I remember working closely enough with Greta that it felt like her route, too. In 5 on the trakovites path you're basically a terrorist, trying to show how much destruction shaping can do to the shaper lords who have been sitting their asses as far away from their actions as possible. one of the missions has you release a shaped plague on a town, killing a bunch of people including the wife of the shaper in charge, than you go up to him and go "that sucks, bet no shaping looks pretty good right about now?" admittedly though, the shaper lord was the one who created the plague themselves, you just released it on a place he didn't want it released, but you still murdered a shitload of innocents.

yeah, i think the only time canisters has consequences in GF5 is when you are accosted by some rear end in a top hat soldiers. if you took too many canisters you're forced into a fight, but that's it.

i done beat avernum 3. pretty good, but it basically turned into the magic show by the end there. dual wielding swords would gently caress up a dude, but 2 magic users would do the same amount of damage to 7 dudes.

Confusion is much less irritating, but much more brutal in queen's wish. instead of taking away control of your character, it just adds negative debuffs every turn for them. and the confusion itself can't be cured by cure, but the debuffs can.

Glare Seethe posted:About this - is there actually any evidence to be found? I didn't know you could talk to Maximilian outside of the scene with Miranda so I don't know if that affects anything. I didn't find any evidence in the town and decided to spare him but maybe I missed something. that's intentional. Jeff mentions it in the hint book that sometimes you just have to make your best judgement. does anyone know if items that boost skills boost them past level 2? or am i good to respec a skill point from them if they're equipped.
