Then, during the last 25% of the game you become basically immortal, yet every single enemy is hasted/frenzied so you are forced to watch every single enemy attack (and miss) twice before you get to do anything. Combat becomes very tedious and boring, not even halfway through the game. The game was allegedly balanced for the Normal difficulty level, but I found the game to be ridiculously easy.Until the last 5-10 hours of the game, you don't really feel like an elite representative of a hegemon, but instead just an adventurer going around solving quests. The main quest is quite linear and the game seems to be story-focused, but the story goes absolutely nowhere for the middle 30 hours, during which you are just getting sent from one kingdom to the next settling disputes.However, a few things kept me from really getting into this game: You are tested throughout the game on your loyalty to Avadon, and while a lesser game would have made the decision black-and-white, this game provides good arguments for either side. There is no "evil empire" here, just rival powers trying to do their best to keep their people alive. There is a ton of loot to find in the game, and equipment can really make a difference with some good choices to make (for example, do you choose a sword that simply does more damage, or one that is weaker but adds a valuable point to one of your key skills?).įinally, the story ends up being pretty interesting, with a nuanced take on hegemony. Your decisions will even affect your companions during the endgame. Granted, most of the time you simply have two choices: follow your orders to the letter, or side with a local power. What's even better, is that many quests (even the main quest!) offer multiple solutions. Exploration is almost always rewarded, with some good loot or even an entire side-quest. It's always a lot of fun arriving at a new location and seeing what's there.
Any items i need to keep in avadon the black fortress full#
Individual locations are massive and full of content. I reckon it actually took about 40 hours, though I skipped a lot of the optional stuff.Īvadon excels in exploration and questing. The game took me 50 hours to complete, but I had to restart partway through due to losing my saves when I got a new computer. I completed this now, after years of on-and-off playing.
