Hello!

 

I'm bit confused really ...

 

AVERNUM:ESCAPE FROM THE PIT is a remake of AVERNUM 1 starting a third trilogy from what I have understood,

 

But AVERNUM 4-6 are a REMAKE of AVERNUM 1-3 as well or they CONTINUE the story of the first trilogy?

 

Thanks!

A:Eftp is a remake of Avernum 1 which is a remake of Exile: Escape from the Pit.

 

However, before you ask, Blades of Avernum is _not_ a remake of Blades of Exile (except for the three Jeff scenarios (and approximately one user scenario?)).

Two user scenarios, Roses of Reckoning and River & Leaf. It's three if you count Nine Variations on Point B.

Wasn't Roses of Reckoning released simultaneously for BoE and BoA? It wasn't remade, it was made in parallel.

 

—Alorael, who will also go ahead and jump on the "third trilogy" above. It's really most helpful to think of it as two trilogies, 1-3 and 4-6. Exile 1-3 and Avernum 1-3 are both first trilogy games. A:EftP and its sequels will be the first trilogy again. Third trilogy suggests a continuation after the second trilogy, which has not been done.

I think so. At any rate the two scenarios share nothing but a name; the story goes that TM made it to test out BoA's porting utility. It sucked, and so he just made something from scratch.
