Do you get a room with storage in the Black Fortress again? Can you get anything more? I heard you can buy and run a farm or something, is this just for profit, and is there anything else in the game like this?

Man, Jerakeen, your avatar pic freaks me out lol. What is that thing, and where is it from?

Torment it is then! I'll sooner admit defeat to the game and quit then lower the difficulty midway through, so wish me luck! Also, general tips would be appreciated before I head in if anyone has any to share. Nothing spoilery though please

Hmm, between this and my thread in Avadon 2 I've had some conflicting reports which are confusing Some claim torment requires min maxy/gamey builds, others that most builds can work on torment. In Baldur's Gate 2 I played hardest difficulty with a party of three and very specialized (narrow) character roles, and was fine (no min maxing). In Dragon Age I played hardest again, using no healers at all, and still beat the game. I mention these only as a reference, I feel like those games are big enough to allow more flexibility with tactics and to allow you to go grind elsewhere if a particular challenge is currently outside of your ability to handle. Avadon being a much smaller game (I assume) does not allow for those options does it? Also, regarding these hidden switches, are they like impossible to see on iPad? If I miss them, do I miss out on serious rewards and/or good side quests? What is Jeff's solution to the problem? (besides hacking the game or cheating in some way) Thanks for all the info and advice

Hmm, well if in Hard you can succeed with every build imaginable (including ridiculous ones), I would hope that any sensible build, played skillfully, could handle Torment, no? I was planning on going Shaman as main (specialized in the summoning branch), with the tank companion (blade something) and the rogue companion (shadow something), with the tank developed as a balanced fighter/meatshield and the rogue specialized in evasion (alot of dex) and offense. I don't know much of the skill trees yet so I can't get more specific but that was the general plan. Fine for torment? Or should I go for hard

Is the setting below torment challenging? Most rpg's I find are fleshed out enough to allow many different builds to work even on the hardest setting, but if I need to use specific builds for torment in Avadon i'd rather just play the next lowest setting, or not play at all if my options are either challenge with specific builds or no challenge but freedom to go with your own build. Also, so if I play on iPad, I will likely be missing alot of these secret door switches? I didn't see this mentioned in iPad reviews I checked out, will this be a pain for me? What does missing these switches mean gameplay wise?

Hey, just wanted to ask the veterans here some questions regarding the series, thanks in advance for any answers/feedback. I plan on starting with Avadon 1 then moving on to 2, so these questions are aimed at both games, essentially the series in general 1 - I'm new to the series but not at all new to rpg's in general, I tend to start rpg's on the hardest difficulty but is that a bad idea with this series? Does the hardest difficulty require a narrow range of builds and tactics to succeed at? Or is it really no different than most other rpg's (i.e if you have a good understanding of the game and strategize well, many different builds can work) 2 - So as I understand it, max party size is three, with whichever companions you don't bring with you chilling out at Avadon. Can I completely ignore the two I don't choose, or will the game punish me for doing so (i.e tailoring battles to all but force you to rotate all four companions in and out, or actually forcing you to use them all at one point or another) 3 - Is playing on the iPad much different than on the pc? I'd like to get the iPad version but if it's significantly worse in any way, i'll go for pc Cheers
