Chittering Clawbug Dado Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I finish A1, A2 and A3... no problem I restarted A1 in hard difficult... so tough that I can not imagine playing in very hard difficult... Has someone ever finish Avernum´s games in the hardest difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes. In fact, many people here have beaten them on the torment difficulty. Me being one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Looks like some people just aren't up to the challenge... In all seriousness, I just play with normal difficulty. I usually just don't have the patience to play on the higher ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've played all the Exile and Avernum games through at the hardest difficulty (except A3 that is incomplete due to boredom). I did A4 as a singleton and hope to do the whole series as a singleton some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I'd just gotten bored (particularly with A3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You need to start at torment level so you don't need to replay at a harder level. It's a little harder starting out, but after a while you don't notice the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've found the Avernum series to be easier on the harder difficulties than the Exile series is on the easiest difficulty, especially in the endgames, and throughout A1/E1. Weird, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Andraste Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Not really Mystic. Most people think that Avernum is easier. Well, it definently is. I was almost done playing A2 through on torment with a singleton, but I wiped my harddrive just befor getting the last Crystal Soul. So sad.

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The most challenging game in the Avernum Series to play on torment is BoA. We have TM to thank for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I always play the games on normal difficulty, because I can't enjoy the role-playing aspect of a game if I am too conserned with game mechanics. Once I get deep enough into game mechanics to play on highest difficulty, the game turns into a bunch of numbers, and I already have other games that are intended to be just a bunch of numbers.

So I noticed. Here's why I agree: It took me about a year of playing E1 to even figure out what I was even supposed to be doing (thank goodness for the hint book), plus another couple of months to beat it on easy--and I had to cheat like you wouldn't believe to do it. Playing A1 on normal, I decimated the game in 2 or 3 week(end)s. Quote: Originally written by Nioca:The most challenging game in the Avernum Series to play on torment is BoA.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 If you're the type of person to do every side-quest in the game, you need to play Torment to keep the later parts of the games interesting. The only trade-off is that you need to adjust your strategies at low levels. -------------------- IF I EVER BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD: If I ever MUST put a digital timer on my doomsday device, I will buy one free from quantum mechanical anomalies. So many brands on the market keep perfectly good time while you're looking at them, but whenever you turn away for a couple minutes then turn back, you find that the countdown has progressed by only a few seconds.
