Game recommendation? in General
Iparl Apprentice Member # 2563	written Thursday, September 4 2003 11:38 Profile #6 Of course, Spiderweb offers the game demos so you can decide whether you actually want to purchase the game. I'd suggest giving them all a test run, even the Exile series. Personally, I really enjoyed Exile 2/Avernum 2. Plot-wise, its my favorite, since it takes place in Exile/Avernum. and Exile 3/Avernum 3 are also solid buys. If you want to start with the basics, the real deal, the original, then of course, you'd be looking at Exile 1. However, you might find that its a bit clumsy to play; Exile 2 vastly improved on it in many ways (my personal point-of-being-driven-insane: you can't right-click to look, but must use "l" or the button [if i'm missing something here, please tell me. Honestly, it drives me nuts. ] ) but its a VERY fun game. If its a little unplayable, or if you're used to luxuries, get Avernum 1 instead. It 's still missing a right-click look, but is cleaner than Exile 1. I never bought BoE, but I sure wish I did!

Cool idea (YOU do it) in Blades of Avernum
Iparl Apprentice Member # 2563	written Tuesday, September 2 2003 13:32 Profile #11 Baldur's Gate (by Bioware) and its expansions and its sequel (of couse, with its expansion too) are two very high quality games that play very well and for the most part adhere to D&D rulesets and do a wonderful job of creating a universe. Check them out; Baldur's Gate 1 is likely twenty bucks MAX, same with BG2. Icewind Dale and its sequel are games based on the BG engine, but with modifications to make them more action-oriented. Neverwinter Nights is also a Bioware D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms universe, but I don't think that even with its flashy new 3D engine (as opposed to BG's 2D) it is up to the standards of plot and gameplay that BG and BG2 set. Give them a shot; they're excellent games in all. On a slightly unrelated note, another very fine RPG to play if you're looking for some good action is Morrowind. 3D goodness galore! -------------------- I Pack A Rocket Launcher Posts: 4 | Registered: Friday, January 31 2003 08:00
