I probably should have searched before posting this. Sorry! Then again, maybe my situation is unique enough that I can get away with this...
I've been meaning to play the Spiderweb games for ages. It's a long story but some time ago I decided to put it off longer still once I knew some were coming out on iOS for iPad as I wanted one. Well, I got my dream iPad in the form of new 9.7" iPad Pro the other day and hit the app store of course checking out all sorts of stuff not the least of which was games and Spiderweb games. I was surprised to find Avernum 6 there.
Here's my quandary, not having played anything yet and knowing Avernum is a series of six games I am wondering where I ought to begin. Since the two newest ones are remakes and then there is Avernum 6 on the app store and meantime I could play 4 and 5 or even all the oldest ones on my iMac I am a wee bit confused about what the heck to do here. The other issue of course is simply time. I am disabled and at home by myself a lot so I have a lot of time but even I only have so much time. After all, for as much as I love gaming I do try to do other stuff too.
So, I was thinking well, maybe I should for fun play Avernum 6 first. Then I could play the fancier new releases not to mention the Avadon games. I could always go back and play whatever else if the creek don't rise and the Good Lord's willing, you know?
I guess the question kind of comes down to storyline across the games. I haven't a clue about that of course. Can I get away with playing these out of sequence, say playing Avernum 6, then the two remakes and we'll see after that. I'd probably want to play the Avadon games next and by then I imagine another may be out. If not, I won't even get into the other stuff I want to get around to playing.
I poked around here a bit and read rumors of the Geneforge series possibly seeing remakes down the road too. I hope so. Since I am so late to the party anyway, maybe it will pay off with fancy new ones.
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
