Still playing it to this day. I even have my original receipt for the original.. This was a great game, and a nice swan song for whatever game engine Jeff's been using for his games for quite some time. To be honest, I don't need a newer game engine, but as there's always a group of "get w/ the times" RPG'ers out there, I guess he decided to try something new for the future. I have played the original 6 Avernum games, and now the 3 first remakes including this one, and they definitely just get better. So I'm sad we don't appear to have 4-6 on the horizon for remakes.More to the point of a review, if you like a big, mostly-sandbox type turn-based RPG, this will scratch an itch or two. There's different difficulty settings for those who care for that (I've done both Normal and Hard for this long game). Some really nice gear if you're patient (and even the ability to upgrade artifacts, which is awesome), a huge variety of enemies and optional encounters, and a steady feeling of accomplishment as you tame the world. Some humor mixed in w/ the grim story, and challenges a-plenty. I would recommend checking in on the Spiderweb Software forums for those who want to optimize (min-max and that kind of thing) their builds and learn many of the secrets you could easily miss in a 1st playthrough.. I definately recommend this game for anyone looking for a good rpg game. Theres so much to explore and do, the story in my opinion is pretty good, and there are a lot of secrets to find(like a hidden bonus dungeon inside a dungeon that is pretty interesting but i wont say more then that). You also don't need to have played the first 2 to get whats going on, it gives a pretty brief summary of the first 2 games in the intro, though i do recommend playing the first 2 still. If i were to give any complaints to this it would probably be the fighting can at times get repetitve especially when in late game your pretty strong but you can still get bugged by slimes or other weak monsters you can wipe out in a single turn. The graphics also are not great but I honestly dont mind that too much, since the story is what im most interested in when it comes to Rpgs.. This is one of Spiderweb Software's most-beloved titles, with a fresh coat of paint and reforged mechanics. If you enjoyed the previous two re-remakes, Avernum: Escape from the Pit and Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, you'll know what to expect from this game, and it certainly won't disappoint you. And if you haven't played the previous games yet, I would recommend you start from the beginning of the trilogy for the sake of story continuity.There are, however, some minor flaws and oddities in the game, which I will list below in no particular order. It should be pointed out that many of these flaws are too nitpicky and technical to really concern the average player, but I just wanted to get them off my chest now that Jeff Vogel will be leaving the Avernum series behind (at least, for the time being). Also, beware that very small SPOILERS may be included.Some of the level 3 spell upgrades don't give the original spells any kind of extra functionality (e.g. Slow and Return Life). Since the vast majority of them do do that, this is clearly an oversight. Having a meaningless level 2 upgrade is not an issue if it leads to an interesting level 3 upgrade, but having a meaningless level 3 upgrade makes training the spell to the maximum level pointless.You cannot craft Wisdom Crystals (or even Invulnerability Potions) with the herbs you collect in this game. This seems like a weird omission to me, as the ability to craft experience-increasing items has been present in Avernum games for a long time. Sure, you can use the ingredients to make various lesser potions, but those potions can be found in great quantities lying around. I daresay many players have ended up hoarding a huge pile of herbs without ever using any of them, in the hope of finding a Wisdom Crystal crafter that doesn't actually exist.It can be frustratingly difficult to see which particular enemies will be hit by an area-of-effect spell, especially if the enemies are close to the border of the targeted area. Sometimes, if you are targeting an area obscured by a wall or another obstacle, it might be literally impossible to see which specific enemies will be hit. With the inclusion of friendly fire in this game and Avadon 3 before it, knowing the exact target of all those potentially suicidal Fireblasts has become more important than ever.The tooltips for some skills and abilities have incorrect or missing information. For instance, the tooltip for Intelligence says that the attribute increases spell energy and mental resistance, which is true, but it neglects to mention the usually more important increases to to-hit chance and damage with magical attacks. Of course, anyone who wants to know what the skills actually do can find accurate information on Spiderweb's forums easily enough, but updating the tooltips seems like a simple fix. A certain amount of ambiguity can be perfectly understandable, but when many of the tooltips are already accurate to the point of giving the player exact percentages, the rest probably should be as well.The list of currently active quests can be cumbersome to sort through due to its total lack of organization. Spiderweb Software has introduced many quality-of-life improvements to their newer games with great success (All hail the mighty junk bag!), but the quest list has been in need of an overhaul for ages. For example, the quest(s) that are relevant to the main storyline should have their own tab or heading, as should quests that are all about collecting an endless amount of a given resource. Additionally, it would be helpful if the entries in the list showed your current progress on the quests; at the very least, you should be able to know when you are ready to report a finished quest to the quest-giver.Non-melee physical attacks are always based on Dexterity, even when they thematically should clearly be based on Strength or Intelligence. It is quite disappointing that this issue still persists, as the exact same flaw in the Avadon engine was fixed between Avadons 2 and 3. It is particularly sad to see melee-users effectively deprived of what would have been their only area-of-effect attack, Blade Sweep.Encumbrance limits are way too lenient in this game. The three offensive attributes (Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence) have the main purpose of increasing the attack power of melee-users, archers, and mages, respectively, but they also have secondary benefits that make them useful to the other "classes". However, the only secondary benefit of Strength is to increase a character's encumbrance limit, which is fine enough, but this benefit is rendered nearly meaningless thanks to the overly-generous base limit. You can wear pretty much any equipment you want throughout the game without investing a single point in Strength, while melee-users will just increase their limit to a comically excessive level. I remember the encumbrance system being considerably better-balanced in many of the earlier Spiderweb titles, so there really is no excuse for this flaw.I’m not even sure whether I consider this a bad thing, as it does make questing less of a hassle. In any case, it is still quite weird that when someone asks you to find a person without telling you anything about their whereabouts, the exact location of said person will often be immediately marked on your map. As the game is as much about finding the sources of problems as it is about dealing with them, these inadvertent spoilers can get pretty silly.Cleave attacks never miss. Again, this is not necessarily a problem, as it makes party positioning more important and improves the otherwise sub-optimal Pole Weapons a little bit. However, it can lead to a rather absurd situation where Character A normally has a very high chance to avoid an attack from a given enemy due to evasion and/or Parry, but when the same enemy attacks an adjacent Character B, it suddenly becomes completely impossible for Character A to avoid a possible resulting cleave attack. In other words, Character A is able to avoid direct attacks just fine, but somehow has much more problems with attacks that weren’t even aimed at him. This may all be fine from a purely mechanical standpoint, but it sure makes little sense.Negative effects that trigger when enemies are hit (e.g. Spine Shield, Blade Shield’s riposte, and other enemy-specific effects) only hurt melee-users. Considering that melee-users are already much more vulnerable to friendly fire and movement-impairing effects than ranged attackers, it feels somewhat unfair that only they have to worry about enemies retaliating. I would love to see Reflection (from the Avadon titles) appear in future Spiderweb games, maybe alongside other similar effects that specifically target ranged attackers.Admittedly, this is an incredibly insignificant thing that probably no one else has noticed (or cared about), but when you encounter a potentially hostile enemy, their friendliness status often gets updated as soon as you begin the conversation. As a result, you can often immediately see whether an encounter will be ending peacefully or not by looking at the minimap, which shows hostile characters as red and friendly or neutral characters as blue. Granted, most of these encounters in Spiderweb games will invariably end in violence, so the minimap will rarely spoil the outcome, but it is still an issue that could be fixed.As a reminder, please note that these issues are largely minor and negligible. In spite of the wall of problems above, my opinion of the game is, overall, very positive; it’s just that many of the good aspects of Avernum 3: Ruined World have already been mentioned by other reviewers, and there is no point in repeating them here.. Absolutely my favorite of the Avernum series. If you're into old-school RPGs then you'll enjoy this little gem for sure. Highly recommended.. Long story short: If you liked Avernum: Escape from the Pit and its sequel, Crystal Souls; you'll like Ruined World. Because it is the same game.Long story slightly longer: I've been a lifelong fan of the Spiderweb games, having played the original Exile trilogy, the Avernum remakes, and now the latest trilogy. The world Jeff Vogel has created is truly unique, with wonderful storytelling holding together a classic CRPG experience. I'm two hours into Ruined World, and I can tell it's following the same remake formula as its predecessors, which is a mostly positive experience. Mostly.Pros: There are enough new touches added to the game to make it worth picking up if you played and liked the Avernum remakes, or even the original Exile games. New characters, dialogue with bosses, and an overhauled levelling system mean the game experience feels fresh, and the world even more fleshed out.Cons: This new levelling system lacks the depth and balance of the Avernum remakes. It's a simple, dumbed-down tree system which is fine for the first playthrough, but doesn't invite replays the way the earlier games did. As mentioned above, the game is mechanically and graphcally identical to EftP and CS. It's just a new story (albeit a great one) told with the same engine as 7 years ago.I enjoy and support the Spiderweb games for what they are, but if you're looking for a flashy graphical voice-acted experience, they might not be for you.
