was that question to me MagmaDragoon? If it was, then i tihnk Geneforge 3 is excellent so far. I'm not very far in the story. having trouble getting through the trials at the moment. I'll have to leave and go level somewhere else. Question - do monsters ever respawn? Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, July 17 2006 07:00 |

little update to say i got my activation key. woot! seeing as this went relatively painlessly, ill probably get another game at some point. probably nethergate or nethergate 2, if thats out. maybe one of those bundles that Jeff is doing for Avernum and such. anyway, now to re-shape the land of the shapers. oO Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, July 17 2006 07:00 |

thanks for all the advice. i seems that avernum is the series that im having most doubts about. (simply do not know which to get. tried A3, but didnt like the controls as much as A4) so with that in mind i ordered Geneforge 3 because it seems the least bone of contention amongst users. (Just waiting to get my activation key before i play) I'll wait until ive played G3 enough to get another game. Having explored some of the other demos by then. (people seem to generally rate Nethergate highly so im drawn towards it) i do as many side quests as i can before getting bored of lvling. so hopefully doing so will lengthen the game. Thanks for all the replies. Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, July 17 2006 07:00 |

i meant 'big' as in really big world to explore, and a long quest. sounds like it isnt. but just how short is short? im thinking 8 hours to complete the game (without exploring everywhere, lvling up etc) or is short in avernum terms still about 40 hours of gameplay to finish the quest?

wow, thanks for all the info and advice. When people say Avernum 4 isnt as big a game, is that relative? (EG. Avernum 1,2,3 were games bigger than big things expanded in a 'Make it BIG' machine... and Avernum 4 is still bigger than most big things that have been hit with the BIG stick.)

Thanks for the replies. You are indeed correct in saying that ive never played any of Jeff Vogels previous titles. I thought i would start with his latest 2, because usually thats the best version. (designers usually having found out what people want in the previous versions, and what people dont) However, i am open to suggestions if you feel that other versions of Avernum or geneforge are better. I would like to know why they are considered better though aswell. Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, July 17 2006 07:00 |

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy one of 2 games from Spiderwebs Catalogue of games. Its either Avernum 4 or Geneforge 3. I've played demos of both and cant decide which ultimately is the more desirable game. I'd be interested to hear what other users have thought of both and which they would recommend and why. Couple questions aswell... 1) Avernum 4 gives you a party of 4 people. Can you play it successfully with only one character? Can you get any more than 4 people in a party (npc helpers, pets etc) ? 2) Geneforge seems to be the opposite and its a single party member plus any pets he creates. Is that correct, or do you indeed get permanent companions (not the one that joins in the starter dungeon, dont think she is permanent..) join at some point? Thanks for any replies. :) Posts: 8 | Registered: Monday, July 17 2006 07:00 |
