Fledgling Fyora Genecodex Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I know that you technically don't need to know anything from the other games to understand the story, but I always like to start at the beginning of the stories. But I hear that 1-3 is one series and 4-6 is a different one, is this true? Do things from the first 3 come back in the later 3, or is it completely different outside of the world.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 A4-6 are direct sequels to A1-3. The reason the series is usually split in half is because 4-6 are much newer and use a different engine than 1-3. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora Genecodex Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Ah thanks. So if I want the FULL experience, I start with 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah. It might be a good idea to download 1 and 4 and play each demo for a little bit just so you know whether you like both engines or not. Some people strongly prefer one over the other and don't get much out of struggling to play the set they don't like. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regardless which one you like better, I would still start with the beginning in A1. Following a story from beginning to end is better than starting from the middle and then trying to find something from before. Mind you, the storyline is somewhat flawed. There are some mistakes here and there, but the story is still wonderful. I enjoy the Avernum's a lot and will continue to for some time!

Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I'm going even further and trying to start with E1, play through that trilogy, then go back to A1 and play from there. ...This is probably the entire reason I have not yet played A5 or A6.
