I'm sorry Spidweb team I know yall worked very hard on it but, i dont like the new look for avernum 4 it seems like you're trying to turn it into geneforge or the way that combat is I mainly liked the fact that you could fight without havin to go through the whole battle thing.You wouldn't happen to have an old version from before yall made that change?

A4 only comes in one format, unless you count the change where chitrachs used to use the clawbug graphic from the Geneforge series. A5 use a similar engine, though it'll be more Avernum-ish. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

I agree with you Nightscout, I hate the Geneforge style that has taken over A4 and soon A5, and while I'm sure they are great games on their own account, I can't bring myself to play them as they dont "feel" like avernum anymore. Posts: 1 | Registered: Wednesday, March 8 2006 08:00 |

Well, whatever engine and graphics Jeff uses, someone will be off-put by them. Hopefully, A5's engine is much more streamlined than A4, what with the return of elevation and the engine advances of G4. If not, well, there's always Blades of Avernum, the updated Nethergate, and replaying the original trilogy. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Avernum 5 is supposed to be closer to the older Avernum games than Avernum 4, but the combat still will be somewhat Geneforgish. Actually Jeff has been only giving out hints about the new combat system with battle disciplines so we don't really know. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I think Avernum is dead to me... I love the graphics of Avernum 1- Blades but I hate geneforge and its combat system. If only there were other versions of AVernum 4 and 5 being made :( -------------------- Bandit: Hey Bob, why aren't we running after them? Archer Bob: Cuz if dose n00bz run dey got no gud ****.

Luckily for you, A5 won't use the Geneforge combat system. In fact, Geneforge 4 doesn't use the Geneforge combat system. —Alorael, who can't say the new system is identical to Avernum's. Being able to attack with 1 AP makes all the difference, though. Starting with more movement is a good change, too. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Jeff said we only get more actions points because we have to run further to attack. He upped the number of APs used for attacks and spells to compensate. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I am glad I played Exile 1-3, and then Platyed Avernum 4 without playing the remakes of the exile games. I am nothing but happy with the graphics! Posts: 1 | Registered: Thursday, July 12 2007 07:00 |

Graphics don't mean a lick to me. If the game is fun I'll play it. And these keep drawing me back in. Hell I still boot up Ultima and Zork on Gametap every so often because they are enjoyable. Personally I've found all the engine's and graphics to have their own charm from Exile to A4. I personally prefer these "retro" graphics to today's wham bam 3D gizmo games (Don't get me wrong Blue Dragon looks to be bubbles hawt). Sprites to me have always had an innate organic feel to them. -------------------- http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/join.asp?idr=412684821 Posts: 145 | Registered: Sunday, February 18 2007 08:00 |

Well ive never generally cared too much about graphics. I grew up with low spec computers, which when i think about it was probably why i stumbled across Spiderweb games. I do prefer the original Averum-Nethergate style graphics, but that never stopped me playing through a few geneforge demos and enjoying them. However when Jeff finally got rid of that graphic type in A4 it seemed like the end of an era. I did grow up with them after all... Anyone agree? -------------------- "But The Damage is Irreversible" Posts: 358 | Registered: Monday, October 27 2003 08:00 |

I do find the original Avernum graphics to have a special grainy charm to them (grainy comes from running them on a 20" imac I suppose). -------------------- http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/join.asp?idr=412684821 Posts: 145 | Registered: Sunday, February 18 2007 08:00 |

And I happen to prefer the old Exile graphics.
