Avernum: Escape From the Pit
Description
Avernum: Escape From the Pit is an epic fantasy role-playing adventure in a unique and deadly world. Fight to complete up to three game-winning quests. Explore a massive nation of tunnels and caverns, seeking out eighty towns and dungeons. Master over 50 spells and battle disciplines and hunt for hundreds of magical artifacts.
You have been banished to the underworld, never to see the light of day again.
The surface is ruled by the cruel Emperor Hawthorne, master of the Empire. All of the known lands are subject to his brutal command. Everyone who speaks out, who misbehaves, who doesn’t fit in is cast into the dark, volcanic pits of Avernum, far below the surface. There, you are expected to die, a victim of starvation, horrible monsters, or simple despair.
But not all of the Avernites have surrendered. With magic and steel, they are forging a new nation deep underground. You can join them and fight for safety. Or freedom. Or even, if you dare, revenge on the surface-dwellers who tried to destroy you.

The game that got me into RPG's.
Fantastic game. I can't wait until some of the sequels go on sale so I can buy them too.

Live underground and go blind
This looked to be a promising indie RPG, sort of a Baldur's Gate with Fallout's turn-based engine. The developers tried hard to create a fantasy universe. A cruel empire throws criminals and its political enemies into an underground wasteland, where the prisoners have carried on and formed their own complex society in the caves. The universe is detailed, and dialogue and text narration are ample and well-written. Sound samples are too limited, and the isometric view causes characters to overlap at times, which can make controls difficult. Much worse, I had to quit because I just couldn't keep playing without hurting my eyes. The characters and objects are drawn so tiny, it's a strain to see them at all the resolutions I was given.

Too glitchy to play. Broken.
So the game is fun and all that, but it has one horrible, game-breaking glitch. Whenever you're about to win a boss fight, the combat ends - then starts again, giving every enemy on the board a free turn. In many situations, this will mean that you go from "one hit away from victory" to a complete party wipe. Seriously terrible. Kind of souring me on all indie games, to be honest. Absolute horrible waste of time and I severely regret my purchase.
