12/27/2022 0 Comments Avadon the black fortress hand gavin![]() ![]() The character system in Avadon was overall a little less interesting for me, with seemingly less variation in build possibly due to the slightly more rigid structure of the skill trees. The lore is interesting as well - though I never recorded information/codex lore as much as I did in Avernum. The story was reasonably engaging and I appreciated the flavour text within each different location and the way each of your npcs would occasionally interject with thoughts or experiences of their own of a location. There's almost a Neverwinter Nights II vibe at times, with each of the npcs having their own personal quest-lines which are optional to the main story. After a few missions, the structure of returning to each location in a cyclical fashion becomes apparent. Whereas Avernum: Escape from the Pit shows the influence of older classics like Ultima IV+V (the boat driven exploration especially) Avadon evokes more of the Baldur's Gate style of party-interaction and Icewind Dale's mission to mission (A to B to C) approach in the main quest. However, this does not detract by any means away from the immense fun I've had with this title.Īvadon is more linear in style and less open-world, but delivers a tighter narrative with more role-playing oriented choices available in dialogue and more fleshed out joinable npcs. My total playtime for Avadon was 79 Steam hours which was considerably shorter when compared with the 119 for Avernum. This is just my second Spiderweb Software game, the discovery of which I certainly have this forum and some its veteran members to thank for. I thought I'd post some reflections upon my recent completion of Avadon. Make sure to have plenty of aoe healing, split items like crystal and scrolls between all chars.and try to have fun.it's a long and boring fight.As a kind of sister thread a year onwards now after my completing Avernum: Escape from the Pit ( ) High Dps lures Redbeard into one of the side chambers and fight him there along with any Soul jars while Low Dps stays in the other side chamber and kill any Soul Jars that spawn there. The best piece of advice that I can give (and how I beat him) is splitting your party into High Dps and Low Dps. This has resulted more than once in my super duper shadowalker main char getting charmed and one shooting my mage char. Redbeard will spam terrify and charm on your frontline fighters. They are very resistant to physical damage also, another "screw you" basically.ģ.It's a dice roll in terms of CC. This meant Jenell the shaman couldn't do any damage with her autoattack and was basically useless after using her cooldowns. This is complete and utter garbage game design. By some miracle, I was actually bored and decide to equip everybody and enchant all their gear and retrain them before going past the point of no return, but if I haven't, I really wouldn't have won.Ģ.The Soul Jars have specific immunites and resistances. This is hinted exactly nowhere before passing the point of no return and there is no reason to equip the other 2 guys you don't plan to take along with you. I managed it on my second try but it still took 45 minutes.ġ) You fight with all 5 companions. It's not an exciting fight, it's a freaking grind. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that fight is annoying as all hell and is very poorly designed. I managed to make that redheaded bastard die. It's not a spoiler that you can fight Redbeard at some point. ![]()
