Thank you!! That one page map was exactly what I wanted. I totally love Rache's Avernum 3 website..its very complete and very helpful but I wanted a one page map that I could print out and at a glance look to where cities are so that I can make some money by doing some courier jobs. After spending 8K on that mansion in Lorelei (its kind of nice having a little space I like to call my own ) I need money for spells real bad!! I ran into a little problem with the game though...I kept starting new quests and going to new places...ie Blackcragg Fortress...without finishing a whole bunch of quests underground and in newbie areas. I think it was my curiosity about unexplored places so I need to go back and do heaps of quests that I got ages ago and ignored for greener pastures.

I'm happy to make one myself but on the off-chance that there's an existing one somewhere.... I am looking for a complete map of Avernum 3 that combines all the regions and towns on the surface. I have like 10 maps or something ridiculous that my characters have to carry around and I am continually getting the message. You're character has too many items. They have A LOT of strength but there the limit to the number of items they can carry is annoying. I think this would be particularly useful when accepting courier jobs so I know straight away where things are in relation to where I next want to go. So, rather than spend some time putting together myself does anyone have one out there already? Thanks

Thank you for all the helpful replies already!! I have played the demos of the other Avernum games but I think I will replay them to familiarise myself with them as it was some time ago. I seem to remember struggling with the game when the Vahnatai were introduced into the game but I can't remember whether it was because I didn't enjoy that gameplay or whether I couldn't figure it out. Also, I had a sneak peak at Avernum 4 on a Mac at work. Am I missing something obvious or is there no longer, or never was a "Camp" button to regenerate your health and mana overnight? I will also replay the Exile series Demos as I vaguely remember really enjoying those demos when I played them years ago and if I enjoy them as much as I remember the full game I would imagine, only add to that. The thing is, I'm an avid World of Warcraft fan and gamer so the question is now.....When am I going to have time to fit all of this in?? Thanks again for those helpful posts.

So, I have recently remembered how much I like Spiderweb Software games but until now I have been a poor student unable to afford them and had to make do with the demos. I am eagerly anticipating the Window's version of Avernum 4 and am thinking about actually buying the full game....BUT I have only ever played the demos of the previous 3 games and Blades of Avernum also. My question is: How important / worthwhile do you guys think it is to start at the beginning and understand what has led up to Avernum 4? Bearing in mind that it could take a while to play through 5 games. Also, this isn't strictly related to Avernum 4, but are there any other games that are a must for playing? I have the full version of Geneforge 2 but I don't remember enjoying it as much as the Exile or Avernum series, but again I only played the demo versions. I must just about be the furtherest (if thats a word) away Spiderweb Software fan as I live in New Zealand. For those of you that don't know where that is its Lord of the Rings, King Kong and Narnia country.
