IMO, the 4th Avernum game is not worthy of being called so. Almost every aspect of gameplay has changed, and it now resembles the Geneforge series better than any of the true Avernum games. It would be so much better and worth my time if it was converted back to the way the other Avernum games are played, although I doubt my one voice is going to affect anything but it sure does make me feel a lot better to be able to get my opinion out.
