Hey, Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if I register the games, It doesn't reset all the games and I have to start over does it? Posts: 28 | Registered: Thursday, August 26 2004 07:00 |

No, don't worry. Registering just unlocks the rest of the game. What game(s) do you plan on buying anyway? -------------------- 33111-CRUSADER-4849 Posts: 662 | Registered: Friday, September 13 2002 07:00 |

Right now just A1, then A2, then A3, then BoA - Exile looked like almost the exact same thing to me (it probably isn't, but thats what it looked like) and Gene whatever its called didn't really appeal to me. Avernum rocks tho. Thanks for asking man Posts: 28 | Registered: Thursday, August 26 2004 07:00 |

Erm... actually Avernum was the remake of the Exiles, just with completely revamped. The story's the same, just the gameplay is very different. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Exile pretty much is the same thing as Avernum. The spell system is a little different and the graphics are different, but, well, yeah, this page describes it in some detail. EDIT: Roughly same time as FBM. Yeah.

It's a matter of opinion. Spidwebbers who cut their teeth on Exile often prefer the Exiles, while latecomers often think Avernum is better. —Alorael, who prefers Avernum despite cutting his teeth on Exile.

I like Exile better because, well, frankly it's the only one I've played. But I think you should get both because of the difference involved, and then you'd have a good general knowledge on both. Also, I've heard the BoE editor is much easier to use than BoA... -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

You can download any of the Exiles and take a look for yourself. They are rather nice games, and having more spells as well as more people in the party may be considered a plus. Also the graphics are wonderful. Geneforge is not that bad. Did you play the demo? Oh, and if you liked the Avernum, how about trying Nethergate, it was the first game with that engine and it's rather neat. -------------------- quote:Random Jack Vance Quote Manual Generator Apparatus (Cugel's Saga) Posts: 604 | Registered: Sunday, June 20 2004 07:00 |

I must admit, despite my loyalty, my favourite Spiderweb game is Nethergate. The only, only problem with it, was that, in my opinion, it was too short. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

I really don't understand why people always complain about Nethergate being too short. If you play as both sides and do all the sidequests, there's at least a solid couple of weeks of gameplay in it. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Actually, you'd be surpised. My record for a good-length game was Lost Eden in 1hr 47mins. It was the first time I'd played it. Each side of Nethergate, with three/four hours a day took me just over a week each. All sidequests complete. All places visited. I just find games really easy once I understand them. I also find cheating abhorrent. -------------------- Aut Tace Aut Loquere Meliora Silencio Posts: 1487 | Registered: Sunday, February 10 2002 08:00 |

Back to the topic, you might even want to start over, you know, new game, new places, new party, fresh start. But then again, that's my opinion; it may not be yours. Yes, and you should play at least the demos of the other games so you know what they're like before you decide which one you like best; you may very well change your mind. EDIT: BtW, FBM, what does abhorrent mean?

Ask dictionary.com . EDIT: Never mind. The saved game files should be in a seperate folder - I'm not sure how it works on PCs - but they will be untouched. You downloaded the full game, and you're not getting a new version or anything, you're just unlocking it. Nethergate seems a bit... old, almost amature, too me. It's a great game, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't feel professional. Certainly worth it, though.
