@Demiath I have Nethergate, and the game is amazing. Geneforge is weird for me because I like the first one the best. As for Avernum, I am not sure. I relly think that someone should put something up on Youtube about these games because they are so underrated.
@fordrake Nethergate sounds cool; that and Avernum 3 are on my To Buy list when it comes to the Spiderweb games. As for YouTube videos of Avernum, there are at least a few gameplay videos each of Avernum 4-6 in particular. I've personally uploaded the first few videos of their new game Avadon, as well.
It IS pretty boring (at least after the first character has been created and the process starts repeating itself). The only reason to include it in a video like this is to show that Avernum 5 has a pretty deep character creation system which RPG nerds will likely enjoy.
the demo for Averum 6 is out and it seems to be the exact game... Id like tio see someone do a basic D&D game using graphics like this or slightlky better. Echelon Book 2 is looking to be fairly sharp, but its just a 1 character game - again Id like to see a D&D game like this
i checked it out and its ok i guess, just a little weak in the graphics... Again, Id like toi see a cross between Avernum and the Eschelon Book series. I would ove to play a real D&D game. The Temple of Elewmental Evil is a great example and its one of my favorite games.
Trust me; If you don't bother playing Knights of the Chalice because the graphics are a bit low-res you're missing out on the greatest old school RPG experience since Temple of Elemental Evil. At the very least give it 5-10 hours if you haven't already. Graphics are one of those things you can get used to, and when the gameplay is this good (much better than both Avernum, Age of Decadence and Eschalon in my opinion) I'd hate to see you miss out on such a great hardcore D&D-based experience...
Im playing the demo now and you are right! Gameplay is spot on,, and the AI plays well. I would love to see that game get a facelift and get better graphics. it doesnt need to be high end, Eschalon Book graphics would be perfect and not that difficult to implement I would think... I'm still searching though... thanks for the heads up
I played Exile III, and I must say, it was incredible. People can bitch about the graphics or game play, but the fact is it's clever and well writen. You're not just playing or blowing stuff up or killing things. There are INTERESTING characters and towns and plots.
Erika Redmark was enchanting. The Vahnatai are interesting. The final fight was epic. The Anama are a hilarious parody of Christians. The drug trafficking, the town you wake up and find undead in, and so much more.
BAD GRAPHICS?? Nonsense! Considering when Vogel made the games. Personally Avernum 3 is my favorite game, but I have not been able to play AV. 5 because of my computer.
avernum 2 is the BEST game of the series in my opinion, i've been playing this since my i got my first pc, finished the 3 major quests around 10 times and ofc all the other quests a couple of times.I just can't stop playing, it's addicting:D
Anyone who loves RPG's(especially old school ones) and can stand some pretty bad graphics will LOVE this game!I recommend you try other games from spiderweb software.I have them all registered.And I mean ALL.
Eh, the graphics aren't that bad. I just finished Exiles 1 and 2 and I thought they were pretty nice actually. It's simple.
Also all of them? If each game is $25, there are 3 Exiles, 5 Avernums, 5 Geneforges, and 2 Nethergates. That's $375. O_O And that's assuming only the games, not editor and hintbook and all that stuff.
When I try to launch the demo, I think it's in a bad resoloution for my screen, so it just says "INPUT NOT SUPPORTED" and I have to restart my PC to see anything (it's a black screenw with INPUT NOT SUPPORTED on it)
I haven't played Avernum 5 but elder Avernums, especially 1 and 3, are great. As well as Nethergate. I recommend you to try also Avernum 1 and 3, since I've played only them.

Either character creation is boring overall, or other people like watching it and I'm the odd man out.

Have you played Knights of the Chalice? Don't know if you've seen my KOTC videos but that's pretty much the kind of game you're describing here...

I almost forgot to mention this; Age of Decadence is looking to be a sharp game - but thats only single player character as well...
