Bit of a nice touch I guess, although in playing, I've found that I've only really relied on three of them continually, one to me, is a more or less a throw-away. NPC Companions: Here's a major change from the old Avernum series, rather than selecting 4 self-generated characters as part of your party when needed, in Avadon, you select only your base character and have a stable of 4 NPC companions (fighter, shadowwalker, mage, and beast master) that you can always select two of, to accompany you out in the world, each with their own special talents and limitations, and who level up with (and you can select their skill trees as well). There are a number of moral choices to be made affecting the story elements and the final ending, and so, it again pays some homage to the Dragon Age series. Story Line: Much more detailed and a bit darker at times, with choices made by the main character that can affect the outcome, and give one either a positive or negative slant with the many encountered NPC's and factions in the game. Rather than just assigning points to the various skills available, one can improve your main character (as well as the 4 available NPC companions) via specific diverging skill tree paths emphasizing one's chosen game play preferences, not unlike the Dragon Age series. Game Play: While they stick with the old tried-and-true turn-based system that has been common to most of their past offerings, the strategic elements and choices are improved, as well as the leveling up system.

Sounds: Not much has changed, many of the sounds I've heard before in the Avernum series are merely repeated here. Graphics have always been nudged up on their Avernum series each time one came out, but with Avadon, this is a major leap for them, and so the graphics are quite an improvement

Spiderweb Software has always been known for its classic turn-based gameplay, while minimizing the game's graphics (you'll never confuse this game with, say, the Witcher 2.), making it accessible to computers that can be at least 5-6+ years old with older graphics cards. So here's my take on what I've experienced so far: I pretty much have the gist of the game, and while there's a lot of the usual (meaning good.) Spiderweb Software core game mechanics, I've been frankly a little disappointed in the overall game set-up. I immediately purchased it and have been playing it now for a couple of weeks. So anyway, after hearing that the Avernum series was more or less completed, I was really looking forward to when their most recent new series offering, Avadon/The Black Fortress finally came out. "Anybody who pines for the days of the older, massive classics and decries the state of the new streamlined, big-budget RPGs needs to put their money where their mouth is and buy this game.By roadtoady | Review Date: JI've been a major fan of Spiderweb Software games for well over a decade, having played all of their legendary Avernum series (I've reviewed the last two of them here in GameSpot). "Avadon: The Black Fortress is easily one of the best RPGs you can buy.
