Fledgling Fyora Amy Walker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm a bit confused about all of the remakes and re-remakes and series. What is the chronological order to play all of the Spiderweb games in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Exile, Avernum, and the new Avernum are the same basic game, remade several times. (And Nethergate: Resurrection is a remake of Nethergate.) Everything else is an independent series, where chronological order doesn't really matter. If you want to go from least advanced engine to most, in chronological order within each series, it would be: Nethergate: Resurrection Geneforge series Avadon series Newest Avernum series (A:EftP, forthcoming Avernum 2 and 3 remakes, Avernum 4-6) (Or arguably Avernum before Avadon, rather than after.)

Garrulous Glaahk Level 1 Hermit Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Geneforge series guaranteed the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Chronological order of release is a little bit messy; series overlap. It's roughly like this: Exile Nethergate Avernum, original trilogy Geneforge Avernum, second trilogy Nethergate: Resurrection (actually in the middle of Geneforge and the Second Trilogy) Avadon Avernum, remake of original trilogy —Alorael, who otherwise thinks Kel's response conveys story order perfectly.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Here are the games, clumped by year and by "engine": Exile (1994-1997; Blades in 1997) Nethergate (1999) Avernum 1-3 (2000-2002; Blades in 2004) Nethergate: Resurrection (2007) Geneforge (2001-2008) Avernum 4-6 (2005-2009) Avadon (2011- ) New Avernum (2012- ) Different series and games may have some big engine differences, but the games clumped within a given "engine" here definitely have the most internal workings in common. In terms of remakes, we have: Exile > Avernum 1-3 > New Avernum Avernum 4-6 > New Avernum (presumably) Nethergate > Nethergate: Resurrection Thus, while "Avernum Remakes" is technically accurate, it's a little misleading since the original Avernum games were also remakes.

Garrulous Glaahk RainbowDashRadical Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I wish he'd make new games rather than remakes, though. If he put all of his focus on Avadon, then he'd get the series finished in half the time. Then just be on to a new series after that. Anyone know why he likes to remake the Avernum series so much?

See this topic for discussion of this issue. Please don't clutter up this thread with it. Mea Tulpa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fledgling Fyora Neoteric Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for the replies guys! I guess I will just stick with Geneforge and Nethergate for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
