In Avernum: Escape from the Pit (and probably the Avernum 2 and 3 remakes), however, hybrids are not viable, as the points above do not apply. (In 3, it requires a special recipe that is as difficult to acquire as an artifact.)
Also, you can eventually get unlimited skill points in these games, though not until late, and in 1 and 2, quite expensive. Sometimes, giving a character a little priest magic can come in handy, for example. In Avernum 1, 2, and 3, a mage/priest can actually work decently well because it becomes more expensive to improve higher level skills, hybrids are actually a viable option. You can have two mages or a mage/priest but not much variety in terms of classes /composition. Did I mention no thieving skills /class in the game? In most games the group you build for efficiency is a fighter with a two handed pole weapon, a tank with sword and shield or an archer, a mage and a priest who is not very useful offensively. In avernum 5 you chase an assassin who is the leader of some rebels and at some point you can choose to join the rebels but it doesn't really change much to the game. In one of them you have to destroy a cockroach factory:) And there are some interesting timed events, not saying more but if you aren't well prepared it may be game over. In avernum 3, which is quite open world, you are cast in the surface and have to save the world from some plagues. There isn't much role playing or decision making in the game. There are 3 races and in some encounters, having a specific race in the group plays some minor role but nothing really important. Zadalon: The characters are generic, they don't have any identity or history, there are no party banters.
AVERNUM 6 SKILLS SOFTWARE
As an old-school CRPG lover, Spiderweb Software games have piqued my interest, though I've yet to try them. Thanks for the detailed reply! I have Avernum: Escape From the Pit and the Geneforge games, so I appreciate you letting me know what you thought of them. ChrisVee: How are the characters/plot in those games? The characters are generic, they don't have any identity or history, there are no party banters.
