I never managed to finish the Exile demo.
While I agree that it's a money-grabbing scheme, I'm not sure I understand what you're going for with those screenshots. Unless I'm reading it wrong, it shows 14 combat-related skills in the "new" shot and 7 in the "old" shot. We can't see the magic tree or traits screen at all in the "new" version.Angelo85 said:Regarding skills:
this has become this.
Can't speak about the rest and won't be able to because I'm not planing on buying into this dumbed down money grabbing scheme.
Unless I hear really good things about it from my resident Bros I won't even bother playing an extended Demo.
/e: but if you haven't played Avernum I, you might as well try this version. Both titles are essentially the same (except the skill stuff). Both games feature the same story, but the newest version has some added quests and updated graphics.
I never played Nethergate, but the skill trees look very similar to Avadon's which I did play. The trees are very limiting there, with each class basically having 2 builds, 1 if you're familiar enough with the game to optimize. Personally I like the skill system of the older games better, but I understand that his new target audience demands one that is more linear.Johannes said:Actually this seems the most sensible out of the 3 systems, since it forces/allows you to specialize characters (pick which trees to specialise on) more instead of being just either well built or badly built warriors or mages.
At least if I presume how it works correctly, and is somewhat decently balanced.

Here you can see the old Character skills page:

And here is part of the new Character skills page:

What I want to know is: Will people still be able to buy the "Original Avernum" games...
