Fledgling Fyora Antoun Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Hi everyone, I've been a long time player of the geneforge series and I've wanted to play something similar so Avernum is the obvious choice. My question is whether I should buy the reworked series (Escape from the Pit and Crystal Souls) or whether a new player should start with the old versions? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I suggest the reworked series. The story and content are the same, and they have been well received as far as gameplay goes. Also, if you are used to Geneforge, the interface will be slightly more familiar. (Note that they are actually a rework of a rework: first there was Exile 1-3, then remade as Avernum 1-3, now the remakes of Avernum.)

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You might also have trouble getting the older versions to run on more recent generations of computer, so yeah, go for the latest games (AEFPT and A2CS)! Both are a lot of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Casey Fulton Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I had a hard time getting the second trilogy to run on my Windows 10 box, so I run them through a Windows XP VirtualBox VM. Runs perfectly. Edit: Works fine so long as you turn off Input -> Mouse Integration. This kills the Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
