Game News Avadon 3: The Warborn Released

I read that he wanted to lessen the amount of trash fights and/or make the fights more interesting, how much is that true? Or is the combat how comparable to his previous games? Is there HP bloat in the higher difficulties now?

playing the second main mission now. feel like the trash encounter is lessened, and HP bloat (on hard) is not so bad. regular enemies takes 1-2 hit to die, mid level takes 4-5, and bosses takes a while. friendly fire is a refreshing feature that makes you think more about positioning and such

All that said though, anyone actually played Avadon 3 enough for an informed opinion here? I wonder how it is as a typical Vogel game.

It's much better than the second one (which, like I said earlier, is probably his weakest game). After two games of playing catch up to the enemy, you're finally taking a more pro-active stance in the war and bringing the fight to them. The politics are also a bit more interesting this time around (a conflict between the former Keeper, Redbeard, and the acting Keeper). A couple of NPCs from previous games return (Nathalie and Khalida), and there's no flimsy attempt at BioWareian romance like in A2.

Besides that, it's mostly the same - the quests are ok, the fights are unchanged. If you've liked the previous two at least a little, odds are you'll like this one as well.

Less trash fights than in the second one (but don't take that as some sort of big plus, number two really went overboard with the amount of needless combat it had on those equally needless huge maps), and HP bloat is lessened too (but still there).
