Although I haven’t posted anything in a month or so, that doesn’t mean I haven’t done any gaming. Instead, it means I have undertaken another lengthy computer RPG. Avernum 5 from Spiderweb Software has kept me busy this month. I played Avernum 4 this same time last year and put quite a few hours into finishing it. Avernum 5 looks like it will take a similar effort. I’d estimate I am maybe 60% through the game.

There are some small but notable changes from Avernum 4: a more lenient encumbrance system, new battle techniques, and water travel with boats. Although the graphics look similar to those of its predecessor, Avernum 5 adds elevation to some of its maps. I have enjoyed the game so far. I will post more details once I’ve finished it.
