Fledgling Fyora Yves Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi i'm a newbe here and would like to know if the hint books you can purchase with the avernum series have detailed maps. I have tried to find out myself by reading some forum pages but there is so much. The earier games have links to maps but not the 5 and 6. I know this is a silly question and has most likely asked a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 The hint books have maps and for some important dungeons they have key locations marked. Some maps are available here, but not for all the games and not for all the locations. Welcome to Spiderweb Software. Please leave your sanity at the door. Using the UBB search function will cause you to lose any remaining sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Yves Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks so it is advisable to buy the hint books as they will give more help(and l'll need it) than scaning through the forums for quick answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend buying the hint books for quick reference, and asking on the forums when you have specific questions. Also, there are walkthroughs available on GameFaqs and other sites, which are a pretty good source of reference material.

Fledgling Fyora Dani Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm a Newbie too, and I'm just now playing through the demo of the first game in the series (talk about addictive!), and I'm wondering if the strategy guides are PDF or physical? I can't find that anywhere, and $10 sounds like kind of a lot for a PDF, but WAAYYYY too cheap to be a real printed copy. However, given the quality of the help document PDF, I'm thinking I'll buy even if it is PDF when I buy the game (I am saying when, as the credit card is primed, I just have to wait for a little money to trickle down from the well).

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Avernum 6 is the only PDF hint guide. All the others are paper booklets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Heindrich1988 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 $10 is quite a lot for a hintbook, but considering how huge the Avernum games are and how many hours of entertainment u can get outta them, it's kinda worth it. I found that online walkthroughs (for A3 at least) are actually more detailed than the official hint book, but I prefer the latter, cos I just want hints, not have the entire experience spoon-fed to me.

Understated Ur-Drakon Earth Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 1st trilogy's walkthroughs aren't as detailed as 2nd trilogy's but 2nd trilogy's walkthroughs don't reveal too much unless reads whole thing in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan La paix Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Geneforge 5 has PDF as well. And both can be ordered as booklets if you pay a shipping charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
