Level 31 Shaman (I'd originally envisaged this character like a second edition D&D multiclass cleric/mage, but she ended up being a pureblood cleric with some tanking abilities.)įavourite Spell: Smite (at level 3) and later, Divine Fire) I focused on some rogue skills for versatility. I didn't find it to be especially weak really…in fact once I got the Rotting Bow, he was more dangerous for awhile. Level 31 Archer (A review I read claimed that Archers were the weakest class. I'll post one more time with my character's stats once I've beaten it with all of the brooches.Īll done and finished now, thus bringing my impressions to an end.Īt 115 Hours of play for me (according to Steam) Avernum: Escape from the Pit is plenty of value for money and I must say that I had a thoroughly good time with it.Ī level 32 Beserker (The most reliable killing machine in my group was very susceptible to becoming stunned and dazed, proving that he wasn't hired for his razor sharp wit.)įavourite weapon: Demonslayer/Flaming/Oozing Sword. My mage's fireblast that finally dropped Hawthorne was a very nice feeling indeed. It was then a case of slow and steady survival round by round. The key to the final battle for me seemed to be placement ensuring that no two Golems can fire off their nastiness on more than one character, particularly my Shaman. I also tried to plug summons in the corridor holes to enable a faster getaway, which seemed to work. To progress to the Garzahd encounter, I rarely exited combat mode and this proved much more efficient, since I didn't fight as many chasers on the way. It definitely gives some additional incentive to trying the mission again. Kudos to Jeff Vogel for implementing the endings in this way, as I quite like it. Well, I then went on to conquer the final mission and end the game…but not quite in a completely satisfying way, because I only had four brooches rather than the ideal five. I got a major case of Bard's Tale nostalgia during the anti-light zone. It was an entertaining little dungeon, with many old-school touches. I then did the Final Gauntlet mission, which I probably should have done before attempting the Hawthorne one, since it was a little easier.

I'd already done the Drath lich quest however, so that was as far as I could take it. One included tying the loose ends up on the interesting Kyass Stronghold story. You're right, as the other way leads to immediate capture and a game over screen.Īfter reverting to a previous save, I did a few more quests for money and items. I'll definitely have to grab the Avernum bundle off steam at some point, as this is a fun little game.

I haven't done that yet might go south to the Tower of the Magi first and see if I can upgrade some spells for my shaman/sorcerer. I'm assuming that the next part of the 'main quest' will be going to the Castle in the Great Cave. I really like the fact that I'm not swimming in gold and items I have to be conservative with spending and careful when having to choose between skills and items. I've had to flee back to the surface a couple of times after running out of resources. I'm currently exploring the Spiral Pit, which has some great atmosphere. I also crept out of the Ogre Cave with just one conscious character, which was a nice tense moment. The nasty Aranea spiders and kind of goofy spider rescue mission was one of them. No particular battle has been too difficult to tackle thus far with adequate prior planning and buffing, but there have been some great involving fights.

By all means make recommendations - I know that the Geneforge series for instance is popular on the Watch after only a couple of thread searches. So, has anyone else played much of the game? Would be curious to hear some impressions and reports. The encounter with Zemera was a close little battle, but my Sorcerer's wand of acid ooze seemed to tip the scales in our favour. I'm currently going through the Nephilim Fortress on the way to finding the stolen necklace. My party is level 6 and I've gone for the following characters: The first thing I noticed when booting up to the title screen was the wonderful Infinity Engine sounding sound fx used for hovering the mouse and clicking on the options. Some reviews complain a little about clunky UI issues, but for me it's nothing one can't adjust and get used to reasonably quickly providing you have a friendly and tolerant disposition towards older games. Somewhat regretfully, it's my first Jeff Vogel game and I must say that after a few hours, it's been really solid fun. One of the games I've chosen to take a look at is something I got very cheap on Steam a month or so ago during the sale: Avernum: Escape from the Pit. With school holidays happening at the moment, I'm having a few choice catch up gaming sessions.
