I think he goes through half the game and then decides to make it suck big time about halfway through. He goes to the store and buys ice-cream and beer and then eats and drinks to his hearts content. Halfway through when he is good and drunk-"You know what, that blue guy is going to do an extra Strength damage of 4 so if he deals a double strike it will kill the player instead of just crippling him, MWWWYWAHHAAHAHHHHAHAHA

These games have some potential with storytelling but lack so many other areas its sad. I bought and played Avernum/Exile 1 years ago and enjoyed the game until I got farther. Once you get further in these games they become pointlessly frustrating as the creator simply edits it be to impossible on easy. I came back now to try the next thing on the list-nothing's changed. Same good story, NO literal polish to mechanics. 2nd game I tried was Geneforge 2. I read the forums and gave it a shot seeing as its the most popular game in the series. It started out nice and then like other game become one dead baby after another. 1#The story is good so I will just him that. 2#The worlds he creates are excellent too. 3#The creator needs a class in common sense class with game balancing. He has enemies which are blue and they hit me for damage. Sometimes with swords and sometimes with thrown. The damage is never even close to the same which makes the game frustrating, unpredictable and unbalanced. 4#The creator has no common sense with power in his games. He claims shapers are all powerful yet creations middle in the game can kill me with 1 shot with full armor and magic equips. That shouldn't happen. When my character is this all-powerful good or bad guy, that would mean each of the characters are hacks. 5#This guy makes some rooms have impossible outcomes. He would send plants to get like 3 attacks each, each with 2 attacks per round, only fight or flight to get through it. There are 10 plants in the room. Get the hell outta here. This guy is not with all of us if he thinks that is realistic. He claims there are multiple ways around each puzzle. 6#Combat tactics are nonexistent. You basically will be switching your tactics for every enemy which is more than confusing. You got to remember if someone is red and their sword is darkish red then they prefer melee and don't go with missiles. To top this off, I did most of each games on easy and still had a terribly frustrating time. These games are good if your a sado-masochist and enjoy pain and frustration. I did a little spelunking on a few forums where the new games are hosted. After all these years, his new games still suffer from ALL of the same balancing issues and abnormal issues. So this guy is writing cheap games, never making them feasible for general public and the only gamers that can play it is that fat, turkey-gobbler-neck loser from the simpsons. Umm.... yeah. Pretty [censored]ing sad. He should get a time-machine and resurrect Gary Gygax. He's a nerd but was an ACTUAL human being. The others are just wasted, disused experiments that no one cares about. Gygax might set this guy straight. Bet the first friggin thing he does when he sees this is put his hands to his face. So check your neck and make sure you don't have one and check your arms to make sure you don't get bat wings either. They suck too.
