Avernum: Escape from the Pit freebie giveaway party thread
« on: June 27, 2012, 01:31:08 PM »
On sale for $3.39 today.



As Drinky said, "This game is how you remember Ultima, not how Ultima actually is if you try to play it today."

If you are interested in a 50-60 hour, fairly challenging, old-school isometric Ultima V/VI style RPG with new-school UI concessions and will actually play it, send me your Steam ID and I will gift it to you. Add me as a friend on steam - I am raketemensch. You need to add me as a friend!

Free to the first 3 winos who respond!

Wait. I can't say for sure if I'd play it. It's cheap enough for me to buy if I decide to. I've spent more on chinese food. Give it to someone else.

It's a lot better than Avadon. Longer, deeper, meatier, girthier. More satisfying.

I've considered buying this, but I figured I should go through my backlog of Black Isle Studios games first.

I want to buy this because it is cheap and good, but I won't play it for years probably so I really shouldn't waste that $3 I could spend on a blank t-shirt.

I got this on iPad, highly recommended. Will pick up a PC copy though since I think it's more suited to PC.

Good lookin out, always been interested in Spiderweb's games but the interface always put me off.  Avadon was downright playable and I put many hours into it, so I'll look forward to seeing how it all began!

Played this today and I am just up to Silvar. I'm liking it so far, the scenario is interesting and the UI and rpg mechanics are tight. My biggest gripe with it are the simple graphics and missing music, it's a bit lacking in atmosphere.

It really does need some music yes, maybe a couple of tracks by Mark Morgan.

I love the game, by the way. Put in a little over an today, now that I finally beat Dragon's Dogma.

I love how much repetitive crap they cut, like that healing/resting is just done by walking inside a town instead of each time going to the inn. Cleaned Silvar.
