Misc Staple

I don't know about well-known, but someone did find it back in 2010.

Exile III was actually designed for Mac and ported to Windows 95/98.

 

XP is the last OS which you can use to natively run the game, but OTVDM is the best thing otherwise (or an XP virtual machine).

You're correct that it was designed and released for Macs first. But Chocobozpwn was talking about the PC release of Exile 3, so I pointed out the typical PC it was meant to run on at the time. I wasn't saying it was the first machine to run Exile 3.

Your mage lore may not be high enough, though that's just my guess.

Exile 3 was designed for Windows 3.1/95, and it can run on some versions of Windows 7 with a bit of tinkering. However, Windows has changed since then, and Exile 3 was never updated.

Fortunately, some people have come up with a solution:

I hope this works out for you.

As to how I came across Exile 3, I think it was a PC Powerplay or PC Gamer CD.  I remember exiting Fort Emergence and feeling thwarted when the Shareware ended there. 

That's odd. The shareware version I played allowed you to finish a few of the plagues on the surface.

You can create a new character in Exile 1 by playing the game. You have to go to the beginning of the game (Fort Exile) and walk into the special encounter in front of the portal. You'll get the option of creating a new character from scratch, as long as you have an empty slot.

I can't find any menu option for creating a new character.

The Priest Spells "Raise Dead" and "Resurrect" can bring back a dead party member. "Raise Dead" is in the Tower of Magi and "Resurrect" is in a monastery across the river from the Aranea City. You also need a Resurrection Balm. But since you just started, it'll probably be a long while before you can get these.

You can't recruit an NPC to join your party in Exile. That's something that started in Avernum.

I'd just go back to a previous save, but it's your game.

The scenario called "ShottsModland" results in an empty folder when extracted.

When I open it, there's two files from 2005: "hpothb07.dat" which is one kilobyte and "hpothb07.tif" which is a tiny version of what looks like a sprite sheet of BoE party members. They are both flagged as hidden, though.

thanks a lot! I was't looking for walkthrough. I realy would like to know all possible gialogues.

 

I don't want just to pass through this game. I want to know all about it.

 

(You have a dump for Exile 3 ?)

Happy birthday!

Okay, I've beaten Morbo and the game. Is there someplace I can read or watch the ending for when you join Dorikas? Thanks!

I can't remember after all these years whether there is a damage type like physical that Morbo takes more from than the other types.

If it's physical, that's unfortunate, because Morbo charms you once you've hit him with a physical attack. So my priest has to cast unshackle mind + control foe + heal possible injuries. And she only has two turns with haste.

I've been having trouble in Avernum 5 defeating Morbo under Muck. He seems to be impervious to everything. Using my fighters will just charm them and my mage and priest spells only make small dents. Someone suggested using control foe on Morbo's summons, but they don't seem to do any extra damage and often fight his other summons.

Welcome back!

I cannot see the images in the OP in Chrome and Explorer.

 

Anyway, I think 2X magnification with no smoothing would be fine. I don't care if the game looks pixelated.

Copy the URL of the image and paste it in your address bar.

Now, I can't for the life of me figure out how to install old DOS or MacOS 9 versions of Exile on my current computer (I've always run into problems, even when I follow the several guides word for word).

IIRC, Exile didn't run in DOS, but ran under Windows 3.1 to XP.

Exile 1 had a different premade party than Exile 2, 3, and Blades of Exile. It had to; Thissa and Frrrr obviously couldn't be there. But all of them were a little different.

 

—Alorael, who suspects he added Michael from the later iteration. John, Ariel, and Samantha were definitely the first three.

John, Ariel, Nathan, Samantha, Allison and Erik.

Did you try PMing him? Although you did seem pretty lucky in that your first post got a response from him in a day, when he hadn't posted in over four years on the boards.

Consider this my response. Now, if Drakefire and TM show up I'll be impressed.

 

I thought TM was banned?

i would hesitate to call a pixellated pineapple art, much like i would hesitate to describe a stick-figure spray painted onto a burning dumpster as art. maybe i have bad taste.

I generally agree with your points, but I'd say it qualifies as art, since Duchamp's Fountain killed that sort of argument. But yeah, it's not art that's necessarily going to sell.

hey congrats, I don't even remember how long it's been for me. I barely check this forum, still love the games though they never lose their charm

Um, about sixteen years for us.

Yes, unless it's too tedious or difficult.
