![]() The engine handles higher resolutions much more eloquently. Lots of different skills and there are advanced skills that are unlocked by investing in basic skills/ability scores (and sometimes in other advanced skills).īe aware that Avernum 6 and iirc Geneforge 5 use a largely similar engine to Avadon (though I want to say something changed between Geneforge 5 and Avernum 6). There is also a utility group with luck, mechanics, and leadership everyone can use equally. Each class is rated "good, medium, bad" at each skill group (this affects the cost to raise skills). Geneforge uses a simplistic system - there are ability scores + 4 skill groups. I hear this is a new approach for his games so I think i'm going to try Geneforge 4 and/or 5 or one of the Avernums to see what that's like in those. Go figure.ĬoldSteel wrote: Finally, the skill trees don't seem all that varied. I'm actually liking their games better than the big developers games these days.

Finally, the skill trees don't seem all that varied. Another is how hard the buttons for secret doors are to spot. One is the lack of a highlight key to see stuff to pick up on the ground. There's only a couple of thing irritating me right now about the game. At least you get to have a party, even it only has 3 characters in it. The combat obviously isn't as tactically deep as something like Helheron but is is still a lot better than most of the RPG stuff out there right now. The developer is a good writer and knows how to tell a good story and set the mood with his narratives. This is my first Spiderweb game and I'm enjoying it. As soon as I took the next quest and went to a different region, Wayfarer showed up and after the dialog with him I could go back to the other region and pick up the reward. Since there’s a finite amount of gold in the game and a bunch of expensive items to purchase, every little bit helps.^ Thanks Peacedog, you were exactly right. If a shopkeep etc is preventing you from grabbing some stuff, mess around until he doesn’t have a line of sight at the character doing the stealing (actually, move your entire party so that no friendly characters can see them), and you’ll be able get the item. There’s absolutely no punishment for stealing if you can – you’re either prevented from picking something up, or do so without repercussions.Don’t be afraid to use consumable items or skills that cost vitality to win a hard fight.Dexterity increases your dodge chance, which can be a powerful defense.You can’t just walk up to most tables and click on them to grab what is on them – you have to use the ‘g’ key to check the ground.Shadowwalkers and Sorceresses both have skills that reduce the number of lockpicks needed to pick a lock, but they don’t stack together – it just uses the number of whoever has the highest skill (learned that one the hard way).There are straight up cheat codes that you can type in, though this disables medals.There is a character you’ll eventually find who you can use to respec your character, so don’t worry about locking yourself in too deep (haven’t met this character yet, so I don’t know how far into the game they are).Don’t be afraid to use your skills/abilities/whatever, but keep in mind that Vitality (blue bar) is only restored by drinking potions of Vitality, or returning to Avadon.You immediately have access to companions of all classes (even if you can’t always bring them all with you), so pick whatever starter class you want.A lot of the mechanics are explained in more detail in the manual (which is only 32 pages, so its a quick read).If you have any tips feel free to share with us!
