TheDarkHarvest

Updated!

Alright thanks! I only upgraded leadership so far (No wander Fyora can almost one hit me) so its at 7 already

How many points should I invest in it? I read somewhere that 10-15 is good because you can get most options that way and get even more points from canisters. EDIT: Updated. How much mechanics should I have? I just upgraded it to 5 and im level 7 I think.

I started up Avernum 4 and then read somewhere that (I know its the 4th in the series) the game will spoil some stuff that happened previously, so I changed my mind and I'm heading towards Geneforge. Only 20 minutes in and I love it! The interface isn't that bad, not as good as AVadon, not as bad as Nethergate.

Sounds promising! Thanks for a quick reply too

First off, I am new here, so hello and all of that ceremonial stuff. I felt the need to create an account here after I finished my journey through Avadon. This, however, wasn't my first Spiderweb game, that goes to Nethergate. Unfortunately. that game scared me off with its very old interface and style (I was coming off of Mass Effect 1 and 2) and couldn't do it! I recently started Avadon because of a friend's recommendation and am I glad I did! I beat it in exactly 30 hours (give or take a minute or two) and could go on for hours, but I'll keep it short. First, my pros and cons. Pros: Superbly written. BEYOND superb. I read every single line of dialogue I was given and soaked it all up. Wonderful characters, both playable and non. They were each very unique and have good lore behind them World was fresh and exciting. No clear "good or bad" (At least, for the most part) Simple, but effective combat. Insane content for price value (Even fetch quests were interesting!) Great plot twists and sets up the sequel nicely. Boss tactics were very unique. Cons: Started to drag near the end. (That may have been just me wanting to finish it though) Some enemies were a joke, while others were ungodly. (Better preparing or a harder/easier difficulty could solve this) Skill points/abilities felt weak (Not enough points, so either adding more points or taking off the restricition of having to level up the previous ability) Too much backtracking and no going to the Corruption! (The backtracking fits the story though and the Corruption, or so I've heard, will be adressed in the sequel.) All of these cons though are minor or can be argued against, so it doesn't hurt the game's image in my eyes. I write this just to see what other people think of this game! I have heard from MANY that the Geneforge are the best of the bunch, but that each game (Nethergate, Avernum, etc) can hold their own. The final thing I want to touch on is the ending *Obvious spoilers* Thank you Spiderweb for such a compelling experience and my journey into Avernum (I'm still afraid of the oldness of the first Geneforges) starts soon
