Many thanks! I was sure I’d looked everywhere, but am obviously an idiot. Darren

Last question. I can’t find the grey pass in the Totem Tunnels anywhere. Is this in a chest? Given that I have empty chests, is there any other way (cheat code?) to acquire the grey pass? Darren

Ok. I’m resigned to completing the game without anything in the chests in the main areas of the game, and having lost my Tower of Magi stash. I will console myself with some cash via the cheats, to compensate for the lost stash. Bizarrely, just freed Sulfras, and his now devastated area includes behaviour as expected (items on ground / corpses), but the whole main area is still without any chest / ground items. I’m guessing the game treats the Sulfras area as new for the purposes of maintaining inventory, but that the inventory for my main Avernum area is now irretrievably broken. I note that the saved games are accessible via iTunes (or rather the hideously named iMazing, which is what I actually use). When I start A3, I will be exporting saved games to a computer. Just in case. Actually, while I was initially aggravated, I now take the view that I can at least still complete the game, and the hovering danger of CHEST EATING might be considered EXTREME RPGing. Still not doing it on Torment, as I’m not a complete lunatic. Thanks for the advice, though. Darren

Aargh! All my Tower Of Magi portal room stuff has gone!

It’s weird. I’d not seen any reports of it on iOS, so presumed I’d be safe. The irony is, I was bitten by this a decade ago, hence my diligence in retaining multiple save states.

I am happy to continue, however, given how far I’ve got. I suspect there are some quests I’ll not be able to complete, but hopefully nothing that will prevent me completing the main quests.

Many thanks for the reply. I’m still a bit puzzled, though; the only new area I’ve entered since I know he issue was not present is the Tomb of Demonslayer, and all containers everywhere are now empty. I suspect the issue has been present for a while for me, though, as all six of my saves are affected (but I was able to take the Demonslayer.

Hi. I’m working my way through the Avernums on an iPad, and am nearing the end of A2. Just retrieved Demonslayer, and suddenly all chests are empty. This affects all of my saved games, and the autosave. Not used any cheats, and I am able to place and retrieve items in the chests; there’s just nothing already in any container (I’ve confirmed this by visiting three permanently inhabited locations, from which I know I’ve not liberated anything). I see from forum searches that this has been reported for PC / Mac games, but hope that my game’s not broken (retrieved 2 of three crystals, have Crown clearance &c) on iOS. If it’s relevant, all my surplus unique items are in the Tower of Magi portal room. Junk bag empty. Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Hopefully, Darren

Thanks for the further info. I already have all four iPad titles, so I'm not concerned by that. I'm not sure that there's iCloud saved game syncing between the iPad and OS X iterations of the games, so I may play through the iPad versions and keep an eye out for a bundle; by then, I'll have forgotten everything I did in the iPad games, so can play them afresh on the Mac. My dementia has its upside! To be honest, as someone who has been interested in RPGs since the early eighties, I'm surprised I've not encountered these games before. I'm very pleased to have finally caught up. Best, Darren

Many thanks. It's less a price issue than a desire to support independent developers by trying to ensure that my money goes to them, rather than being skimmed by third party resellers. I'll have a DemoFest. Darren UK

Hi. I've recently started playing the Avadons on my iPad, and am very impressed. I'd like to buy all the games that can run on a Mac. A cursory browse of the forum would indicate that more money goes to the developer if I buy from here rather than from Steam or GOG. Is there any way of buying the lot at once, perhaps for a salutory discount? I'd like the guides too, as I am pretty crap. If not, perhaps waiting for another Steam or Humble deal might be the way to go. Thanks for any advice, Darren UK
