I didn't care much for stalker. Not sure if I just wasnt "in the mood" for it or what. Metro 2033 is ok though. Morrowind has a handy dandy hour counter on the save. I have had many seprate plays with over 600 hours on each one. Yesp, I finsihed Avernum at 37 hours and Avadon yesterday with 33.

maybe these kind of games are just not for you? As far as length, 50 hours is literately nothing. More so for a game of this type. I have well over 2000 hours in morrowind, and about 1000 in Oblivion. Of all the games I played last year and this year Avernum escape from the pit and Avadon has been above and beyond. Dragon age 2, mass effect 3, farycry 3. All of those games gave me less play time and less enjoyment. All of those games are "the next best thing" to ever happen. I grew up on these types of games, not everyone did. I remember when Wing commander Privateer came out on cd rom, I remember crusader remorse and regret. I remember fallout 1 and 2. These types of games are not for everyone,but for me to have found them is a breath of fresh air in such a stale market. Voice acting is destroying games, it costs too much and you get too little content. Graphics<story. Text>Voice. Its so great to have a honest rpg that is focused on the story and your character/party in these days.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the input. I have A2 to 6 with geneforge series, avadon, NG:R and eschalon book 1 and 2 as well as some other games I still need to play. I also got automation, Age of decadence and Star citizen on order. The steam winter sale was really good to my library but hard on my wallet. I am really into the setting of Avernum and I think I am just going to pick up 2 after I get done with EFTP. I think I am pretty close to ending EFTP anyway.

Sorry for the double post, I had another question. I already own everything now, I picked up all the games today to round them out. I picked up the complete saga on GOG, along with genforge 1-5 on GOG and I have EFTP, Avadon and NG;R on steam. (and A4-6) Do you all think it would best to finish up EFTP (I am really enjoying it) then pick up Avadon and after that NG:R. Both of those games seem really neat, but I am guessing NG:R is on a older engine? I was thinking along these lines, finish EFTP move to Avadon then NG:R. Nethergate seems like it has a really neat story. Then start Genforge and by the time I am done with those I could pick back up with A2 to 6. I just dont want to start A2 and forget what when down in EFTP. I figure I should be 2-4 weeks on each game. I am 27 hours in Escape from the pit and still have a long list of quests to finish and lots of map left to visit. I figure I should round it out in the 30-40 hour range. Thats pretty amazing value for what little money I spent. I still have to go east and north of Bargah, north of that mage tower into the burning reaching, the shattered fort and some drake pit and beyond in the south west. Plus all the quests I have left. I really like to explore every little area.

I am going through the Eve online novels, then I have the Song of Ice and fire to read. So far, Eve the empyrean age has been a great read.

Ok, thanks. I am just going to pick up the Genforge saga and Avernum form gog then. Thanks!

Well, Now I guess it really just comes down to picking up genforge and then figuring out if I want to wait for the remakes or go on and finish out Avernum:EFTP and 2/3. I just got Avadon so now the only thing I am missing is Genforge and Avernum 1-3. Any idea when the remake of 2 and 3 are going to come out? I feel pretty involved in the story and would like to contune it, it reminds me of fallout 1/2 and the games I played when I was growing up. Where the story was great, the writing was great and the game play is good, and depends on what your character can do, not what skill I have with a mouse and k/b. I am very impressed with Escape from the pit so far, and Avadon looks like its running on the same engine. NG:R has a setting that I am interested in, and genforge and the original 1-6 of Avernum don't look like they would put me off.

First post here! I picked up Avernum, Escape from the pit almost 1 year ago on the steam sale. It was a impulse buy because it was so cheep. Up until that point I had no idea this company even existed (thanks steam!) The game sit around until this weekend, I had never touched it. This game has really won me over, 27 hours in and I still have a lot of things left to do and places to explore. I am very impressed with this game. The story and game world are very well written. Its a rare thing that I stay up late because I lost track of time these days. Escape from the pit has caused me to loose track of time quite a bit. So, my question. I own A:EFTP already, 4-6 and Nethergate :Resurrection on steam. I plan on picking up Avadon on steam as well. Now, is it worth picking up the Complete Avernum saga and Genforge on GOG? I think EFTP is a remake of Avernum 1? So I could skip right to Avernum 2? What game should I play next? I really enjoyed the story so far in Avernum, so should I go to the 2nd game in the serires? Avadon and Nethergate: Resurresction look great. Thanks!
