Understated Ur-Drakon Celtic Minstrel Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Download the demo(s) and try them out. That'll give you some idea of what they're about, at least. Note that if you have a Mac you'll need an emulator of some kind, such as CrossOver. (The game won't work under DarWine because of (I think) a bug in the default X11 that comes with the Mac.)

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Also, Exile III has an animated intro that explains, briefly, the events of Exile I and II. Blades of Exile's help file also discusses those events, plus Exile III, briefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It's mostly the same plot as the Avernum 1 to 3 games minus a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 mkay, i'm assuming the empress wasnt killed in exile since it's an earlier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Hondero Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 While Exile I is the original, it is *tough* in the beginning, and it has a more primitive engine than the other two. Exile II is my favorite, but the game sort of throws you into the action early on, which can be a shock. Exile III might be the best to start out on -- at least that's what I started out playing (when I thought that creating a party and "PCs" were about Personal Computers!) All in all, you can't really go wrong with any of them, so just have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Artemis~ Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 that makes me feel all happy inside. i've noticed that avernum 5 is tough in the beginning, too. stupid wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Sss-Chah Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 the empress' father (obviously, the emperor) was killed at the end of the first game. in the second game, the empire attacks avernum, but the vahnatai help avernum because the empire stole some crystal souls. in the third game, one of the vahnatai (rentar) attacks the surface in revenge, but avernum helps fight her off and gets rewarded with some land. in the 4th game (not in the exile series), she attacks avernum for helping the empire.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slarti Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The actual stories of Exile and Avernum are identical. There are some changes to a few names of sundry NPCs and some other minor details, and one tangential area that was added in Avernum 1 (Lost Bahssikava).
