I played this game for the first time in the mid 90's off of one of those multi-cd demo packs. It reminded me a lot of Ultima IV on the NES but is more accessible in terms of knowing what to do and where to go. The party customization and combat options are just as good as the story. This wound up being the first game from Spiderweb Software that I fell in love with and he has even remade this game 2x over the years. Definitely a game and developer worth your time.
I was honestly surprised to not find this on GoG! It's old, but there's a good story and some interesting gameplay; it's worth the time and effort to hunt down.
I played this game back when I didn't speak English, but I still enjoyed it so much I somehow managed to stumble through a good chunk of it. Since then I've actually went to the trouble of setting up a Win 95 VM to play it some time ago (the game is free on Spiderweb Software's website but doesn't run on modern systems) just because I enjoyed it so much.
It's been remade as Avernum 3, but there are pretty significant differences between that and OG Exile 3 (reduced party size, streamlined spell list, different perspective, different dialogue interface, etc, etc) so I still would enjoy being able to play the original without jumping through hoops.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
