  1. Game News Avernum: Escape from the Pit Released

    Dumbing down?? Rofl. I mean REALLY? The exile's only strength was the party member count. It also had a certain fun factor to the way combat went due to the simple engine but that was all. It was good at the time. Avernum did indeed constitute an instance of dumbing down, but it did so...

  2. Is Ultima 6 Project good?

    Didn't magic axes in Lazarus ( which were pretty easy to obtain) break the combat? As in so easy that its pointless?

  3. Avernum: Escape from the Pit

    if any of the Eschalon's ( especially 2) made more money than any of the later Vogel titles, including Avadon for that matter, I would be very suprised at the lack of taste of the current crowd that is willing to buy oldschool style pc rpg's with very low production values. Then again indie...

  4. Avernum: Escape from the Pit

    Anyone else really looking forward to this one? Judging from the screenshots, it will use a mana bar that regenerates over time for casters and just fatigue points for battle disciplines pretty much like Avernum 6, so there is none of the annoyance of the more strict stamina limitations of...

  5. Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

    You can do a little spell play to extend fights with harmless but reasonably resistant enemies,since you can heal them etc, effectively actively training skills. It can make a huge difference at certain level ranges, especially with melee hybrids like the samurai. I wouldnt call it getting...

  6. Ultima The Ultima Underworld I & II Thread

    Both are worth a playthrough in order. Ultima underworld 2 is very similar to 1 only longer and more vast, the gameplay is a little better, a bit more expanded and better implemented taking advantage of the possibilities of the new engine. The alternate dimensions have interesting twists and...

  7. About Avadon: The Black Fortress

    I really dont know what you mean about the redeeming qualities of the older games... I only played and finished geneforge 1 and 5, so I dont know much about that series, but 5 was a considerable improvement from what little I recall from geneforge 1. But the first avernum trilogy for...

  8. About Avadon: The Black Fortress

    So...about Avadon: The Black Fortress .... Having played and enjoyed Avernum 6 and Geneforge 5 when I read some posts around the codex regarding Avadon, I was a bit concerned. I got the game and been playing around for a while, going on my third mission so to speak and so far I got a pretty...

  9. Twitcher: Mega Ultra Enhanced Hydrocarborundum Edition

    Whatever you do dont play TW 1 on the normal difficulty. I picked normal for my playthrough because I thought it would have a nice balance and it indicated I wouldnt be relying on alchemy too much. In the normal difficulty the game starts has being decently challenging, the first boss fight...

  10. CD Project Red is dissing SKYRIM

    Daggerfall had the best dungeon crawling.... And Daggerfall was not easy to "abuse", as in exploiting the game in several ways? Does not compute.

  11. Wiz8 question - arnika road plants rape me with sleep/blind

    The difficulty you might experience in Wizardry 8 in the very early stages does not have anything to do with most of the game.You should not lower your difficulty setting through the whole game based on that. Not to say the game on normal difficulty does not have challenging moments but...

  12. Review Avadon: The Black Fortress Review

    This probably is not an issue for most people but I have some trouble understanding the gender fixed classes. It might make some sense considering he opted for fleshed out NPC followers, but not enough in my opinion. His character models still dont display equipment in this new title from what...

  13. Review Dragon Age II Is Mediocre, BioWare Is Becoming Terrible

    "Jesus fucking christ I can't do this anymore, my head is starting to hurt. Your entire fucking post boils down to you not understanding that strategic depth is just as if not more important than tactical depth, and that a game leaning toward the former rather than the latter doesn't mean the...

  14. Review Sword and Sorcery -- Underworld Review

    I dont mean to get into the art/immersion/graphic whoredom discussion. But if you are looking for an indie rpg similar to the bard's tale or the very early wizardrys there is this: http://www.devilwhiskey.com/ Not my cup of tea personally, but I heard good things about it. The only...

  15. Editorial Five Things We Learned From Fallout

    I mean something a little more developed than an alignment system, although an alignment system could be part of it. I was thinking of a more complex system that tracked a large number of different factors, and it would be tied to some form of stats or values ( visible by the player for the most...
