Thanks, @Chessrook44 and @Slartibus! To make sure I have this right, it's:

1. Avernum 1 (or Escape from the Pit for better graphics, writing, quests, gameplay, etc)

2. Avernum 2 (or Crystal Souls for better graphics, writing, quests, gameplay, etc)

3. Avernum 3

4. Blades of Avernum

5. Avernum 4

6. Avernum 5

7. Avernum 6

Does that sound right?

Years after pirating the first Avernum that came out, I finally own my own GOG.com –AND—Steam copies of the entire Avernum series (including Avernum 2: Crystal Souls). (And there was much rejoicing. /yay) To be more specific: I have Avernum, Avernum 2, Avernum 3, Avernum 4, Avernum 5, Avernum 6, Escape from the Pit, and Blades of Avernum, as well as Avernum 2: Crystal Souls, all from GOG.com and/or Steam.

Unfortunately, I’m completely out of touch with which games came out in which order, so I have to ask—Which order should they be played in for the best storyline, et all? Wasn’t there something about a couple of the games being remakes of the previous Avernums or somesuch also? Should I skip some earlier game and play a latter game for the better engine and such?

(I emailed the Devs this question more than a week ago, and no one responded.)
