should i buy 1. Avernum : Escape from the Pit for an old school RPG experience 2. Darkest Hour, because its supposed to be one of the best grand strat games and i really liked victoria II and it covers part of the same period 3. Stronghold HD because castles are cool and it is a top tier castle game 4. Judge Dredd : Dredd Versus Death which looks like some kinda weird shooter from 2005 but has good reviews thanks in advance for ur inputs

I guess it makes a number on your steam page go up and you get emotes for the chat and a background for your profile but who gives a gently caress about that

Man I wish for the golden days when steam cards were in beta. People were dumb enough to buy most common cards form $.50 and foils for $10-$20. I ended up making around $50 until it got released and the prices crashed.

It helps that even if you have just a few cents in your wallet, you can use those to lessen the price of a game you really want.

if you play on normal its not too bad. the main things you have to watch out for are that it theoretically lets you go anywhere from the getgo but there are encounters in the overworld in areas that expect you to be stronger that will gently caress you up if you aren't strong enough and pockets of poo poo in otherwise safe areas that you shouldnt gently caress with

01011001 posted:spiderweb game roll call word up man thanks for the awesome explanation. geneforge sounds really tight, actually, i might just go ahead and grab that series package. having one character instead of a faceless generic party sounds a little more up my alley, stats juggling wise. it actually sounds sorta like planescape torment, which i never quite beat but put a good chunk of time into, and rly enjoyed im curious why you don't like Avadon though, looking at my friends list its by far the most popular spiderweb game

avadon is MUCH more user friendly and linear, so while it probably has more popular appeal, the people who like spiderweb games found it lacking
