So I decided to try and produce a few hints and tips myself for people who still play these fabulous games.Īfter three months work I had nearly finished the hints for Avernum 1, only to find that the “Annotated Maps” had been resurrected. I have nevertheless decided to make these tips available to the Avernum Fan Community. Many of the Hints come from what I remember of the Annotated Maps. Naturally many are straight out of the Hints Books. Navigation: the games ( first trilogy, second trilogy, further games, Avernum reworked ), general hints, further links I have also used other sites in the link list as a source of information. This game is a remake of Exile and as such is well thought out. There are three Great Quests and four Major Quests as well as many minor missions. You find many puzzles, some of which are difficult to solve without help, and lots of jokes.

All Spiderweb games have been devoloped on Macintosh and the transfer of Avernum 1 to Windows resulted in an annoying bug. Navigating with the left mouse button sometimes results in moving two spaces. It is possible to navigate with the number pad, but this is not exactly easy. There is however a work around: the right mouse button does nothing other than work as the left one should – it moves you exactly one space and not as you would expect give further options or information. Please email me about any mistakes or omissions. The exploits of Adventures have resulted in severe repression by the Empire which has decided to eradicate Avernum. This game starts out where Avernum 1 finished but has some interesting new twists.

The tranfer from Mac to Win has worked much better this time. I have started collecting information for this game. Chapters one (The Barriers) and two (The Dark Waters) are finished.
I have started on the Vahnatai lands and the Eastern Province is more or less complete. With this immense game which continues the saga of the Avernites, a people condemned to a life underground, Spiderweb reached a zenith in the production of RPGs. The transfer from Mac to Win has been mastered brilliantly. Most of the action takes place on the surface but for the final showdown you have to descend into hostile caverns and fight many dark creatures. Since Rache has produced a detailed description of all towns and quests in this game, I do not intend to duplicate his fabulous work. If I ever get around to it, I will however make a few notes on points where I do not agree with him. This game uses a new engine and has a completely new look. The blurb says that “all the stuff that caused busywork and confusion has been ruthlessly pared away”. Be that as it may, I have had some difficulty getting into the game. The transfer from Mac to Windows has been done very badly. It stores saved games along with the program files. In order to play it as another user on XP you have to alter the file rights of the directory called “data”. There are only 16 slots for all users to store saved games. The engine reads directly from the keyboard rather then using the proper driver. This means that if you are using a keyboard with a layout other than the American standard the keys are interpreted wrongl z (that is what I get with my German keyboard). The Engine also annoys me: no differnce between towns and outdoors the curious method of moving around sometimes makes combat difficult, because the characters do not always take the route I expected. At least the saved games are stored correctly in the user's home directory, but still only 16 slots. It was so nice in the first trilogy to be able to use the native file system to store as many saved games as I wanted to. Perhaps I will one day write some notes about this game, but this is very unlikely as I have no intention of buying the game. I once started this game but soon got fed up with it. There is nothing to explore! I just found myself being sent upstairs and back into the cellar without any choice of my own. The start of the game is so linear that it is boring.
