I think I'll be purchasing the whole series from Steam. But, realistically speaking, I don't have time to play them all. I barely get 4 hours a week for gaming (hence I've been playing Avadon for ages). Should I start from G4, and perhaps read through what happened in the first 3 games online? Obviously ideally I'd play them all, but I have to be realistic. I don't have the time but I'd like to experience these highly esteemed games. Thank you

I wish I could retire at 50!

Wishlist for Avadon 3 - interface/gameplay suggestions
xuerebx replied to mikeprichard's topic in Avadon Series
Realistically speaking, would JZ consider considerable changes to the game engine for future game iterations (excluding Avernum II)? I personally don't mind the retro graphics, I'd just like to see certain improvements in terms of more portraits, more character models etc. As it is the games feel too similar to each other. Not that it will stop me from buying more SS games. -

A:EftP - Tips on how to kill Drath?
xuerebx replied to xuerebx's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
Yeah, my archer is pretty nimble. Rarely gets hit. Less damage though, but still, that's a good tactic. Also, what's a good level to take on the area around Bargha (the Abyss basically)? In the meantime I should go to other places to level up, then come back to kill Drath. -

Thank you guys. I guess I am a bit too weak for him right now. He shall pay dearly...soon. -
A:EftP - Tips on how to kill Drath?
xuerebx replied to xuerebx's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
They're all level 21. I'm not sparing his life! I really should have a dedicated healer, but it's too late now. It's my first SS game so I was not familiar with the game mechanics, made a couple of mistakes on the way to here. -
He's got the last piece of the Demonslayer I need. I have a save with just him alone, since I managed to dispose of his minions and I left the area, and went back to try and finish him. My group consists of an archer, a mage, a dual wielding warrior, and a warrior/priest which isn't very good, but heals my warrior. I just can't manage to remove even half his health. We keep exchanging blows/magic, but after a while he either attacks the other members (and once the priest or mage dies, I'm toast), killing them in one hit...and then I lose. Any tricks/strategies? Thank you!

What is wrong with summons?
xuerebx replied to SapientCrow's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
I'm more concerned that they never hit anything. Useless, except for soaking up damage for one round or two (then they die). -
A:EftP - Pyrog's spellbook
xuerebx replied to Fatman's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
I tried taking on Pyrog at level 18... Anyway, what are the quest rewards for choosing different people to give the spells to? One of them is getting access to cheaper spells. -

A:EftP - The main quests (spoilers)
xuerebx replied to xuerebx's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
Ah, good. I'm not one to replay a game just to try out a different quest line, unless the game offers high replayability (this doesn't seem the case). -
I haven't looked at any threads related to the main quests in fear of spoilers. Now, I read on one of Jeff's blog posts that there are 3 main quests. My question is, can only one of them be finished in a playthrough? And are these the main quests: -??? Something related to the Castle? -Kill the slithzerkai (Sss-thss) -Aid the scimatar If I'm wrong, don't tell me what the main questline I missed is. I'd rather be surprised. I have only heard of the Scimatar, and I've done a lot of quests related to killing the Slithzerkais. I'm 30 hours in and I've mostly done side quests from the towns. Thanks!

A-EftP - Sorry if this is Known
xuerebx replied to whitknight26's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
Yeah, that's what I did. It was around 7EUR cheaper on steam. Plus, I like my indie collection being all on steam. -
What kind of similarities? And what do you mean by throwing you off your game? As in you start mixing up events happening in one game with another?

I've only just started playing my first Spiderweb game recently (Avernum:EftP), but I've been looking at the other games (Geneforge for instance). I'm really tempted to start G1, but the time and effort required to be put in just one game is already too much! I'd have to wait and finish Avernum first before I can play another Spiderweb game. Is anyone else the same? Or are you able to play multiple games, specifically multiple Spiderweb games, at the same time (not literally at the same time of course)?

Questions on Weapon Damage
xuerebx replied to Timmy, Power Gamer's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
Wow, that's true! I guess I'd better use a shortsword then on one of my hands. Does Jeff usually patch his games? -
Questions on Weapon Damage
xuerebx replied to Timmy, Power Gamer's topic in Avernum Trilogy (2011-2018 Remastered Versions)
Ah, thought it only applied to the off hand weapon. -

Kind of off-topic, but the weaker weapon should be kept in the off-hand right?
