Burgeoning Battle Gamma xuerebx Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 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)?

Chittering Clawbug Avadon Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I would suggest not playing multiple games simultaneously. A couple of years back, I first played Geneforge on my PC. It was so good that I ordered the Exile games and Nethergate. As a result of trying to juggle so many games, I completed none of them. Currently I have bought both Avadon and Avernum for my iPad, but I am strictly playing only Avadon now in order to savour the experience. I bought Avernum as a day one purchase, even though I will not be playing it until I get around to it, was just to show the developer my support for his iPad releases.

Garrulous Glaahk Painted Lady Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was playing Avernum:EotP on my iPad and Avadon on my Mac at the same time. Not a good idea. There are just enough similarities to throw you off your game (pardon the pun). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma xuerebx Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Painted Lady Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Here's one example - probably caused by my giving the same names to the party members in both games. My main fighter (aka Tank) was in need of improved sword skills in one game, but not in the other. As you can guess, when I leveled up I messed up because I wasn't thinking about which game had which needs. Also, I didn't realize the problem until I had overwritten my backup. My fault totally of course..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm replaying AEFTP (Slarty's remix mod) and trying out Blades of Exile at the same time. I'm not likely to forget which is which! Really makes me appreciate how far the engine has come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he both children by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've played some random Zelda game on the side of also playing some random Spidwerweb game, but that's about it. I've never had the desire to go off to some other spidweb game before completing the run I was already on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Necris Omega Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Eh, I think the similarities would dilute the impact each one has. When everything is chocolate, chocolate loses its allure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
