I second this question. I'm dying waiting for Avernum 3 on my Ipad (since in my opinion the Ipad is the best platform by far for Spiderweb games!)

This is A:EFTP, not CS, but I got geniune satisfaction when I told the arrogant Empire ambassador under Formello that not only was the great Emperor Hawthorne dead - but that I'd killed him.

Hi everyone. I'm in the middle of playing through Avernum 2, and can I ask - should I bother with Sage Lore? In Avernum:EFPT, of course, Sage Lore was pretty much a complete subsitute for Arcane Lore (if you didn't care about the Stagnant Tunnels spellbooks, and I didn't). I've put four points into Arcane Lore so far, but my characters will hit Level 12 soon, and so I'm wondering if I should bother with Sage Lore. Given how many Traits you have with an all-human party, it seems crazy not to pick it, but perhaps I'm still thinking in Avernum :EFPT terms. If I should get it, should I get it for all four characters? Thanks!

Just thought I'd give this update - I actually managed to downgrade my Ipad to IOS 8.2, and Avernum 2 works fine. To me, it really is a shame that more people won't be able to experience the game on the Ipad, because in my opinion tablets are the perfect medium for Spiderweb games - you can play them anywhere, the touch interface is better than the mousepad, and a turn-based game is perfect for the mobile medium, where you may not have an hour or more to give to the game. I have to admit I'm surprised Jeff isn't willing to put in a bit of time to debug Avernum 2 when he's already done the work of producing the game. Or even just hire someone else to do it. I totally get he doesn't want to produce future games for Ipad, and I think it makes sense, for all the reaosns he outlines. But why waste all the effort it took to program Avernum 2 for the Ipad. Can anyone provide any insights?

Ugh! This is horrible news indeed. I'm not ashamed to say that a big reason I switched over from using an Android tablet user to IOS was the availability of Spiderweb games. I find that tablets are ideal for gaming, especially when you don't have time to sit down for hours at a computer, and Spiderweb's software was ideal for that purpose as well. I will say that I was one of the lucky few who did indeed download Avernum 2 from the App store before it was yanked. Unfortunately, I also updated my IPAD to IOS 8.3 from 8.2, so now the app doesn't work, just like Jeff says. I've done some searches on the web, and it seems like it is possible to "downgrade" my Ipad back to 8.2 (at least for now), but it involves essentially wiping out the data on my IPad (for what I'm talking about see this webpage: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/04/08/how-to-install-the-ios-8-3-update/ Does anyone know - if I did successfully downgrade to 8.2, would Avernum 2 still be there? I'm hoping against hope that I can still play it. Again, very sad news from Jeff.

Now, to make matters even more frustrating, the same bug has appeared in Avadon, which is also installed on the my Nexus 7. Again, when I go back to earlier saves, the bug still shows up after a certain amount of time. I would grit my teeth and reinstall Avadon, but I tried that with Avernum and it did not work (the bug showed up again after playing for several days.) I really love Spiderweb Software games ( and I wish more were available on Android), but the persistence of this bug makes the games essentially unplayable. Does anyone have any advice/help?

Hello everyone. I have been playing Avernum: Escape from the pit on my Nexus 7. I've played the whole game through at least once. However, just recently I was replaying Avernum when without warning all items in containers - in the entire game - vanished. I tried loaded saved games, but that didn't help. I deleted and reinstalled Avernum, and started a new game. That seemed to work for a while, but then the bug showed up again. I have tried using old game files, and in some saved games the items are there, but no matter what they do the items eventually disappear. Can anyone help? It is very frustrating to have to start again!
