  • The trouble with Avernum

    Main problem with Avernum appears to be that it is not well-received.

    Yeah, it's based on the 90s' "Exile" series, so it is very old school
    gaming. I'm afraid CRPG has moved on from that style.

    I love the game, though.

    All the new RPGs look like Icewind Dale under a microscope to me. I bet
    they all focus on orcs trolls and goblins too.
