If the Drakon is Global Wyrming, presumably the Artila can be Global Worming.

Interesting. I always compared Exile with Ultima 3, but it never occured to me to compare Avernum with the later isometric Ultimas. Huh.

What I like is the return of the old "Fly: Ceiling too low." message. Also being able to shoot melee-based monsters from the air for free. Although having an atlatl with unlimited ammunition is a little strange.

I'm also confused about how getting 20 Gymnastics allows you to Fly, but getting 20 Sharpshooter just gives me this lousy "Kag Shot" battle discipline that always misses.

Three cheers to Drakey and Frozen Feet for making the laudable decision to retain control over the RP and be able to kick out those who are absurd, rather than having pages and pages of argument. Have fun guys.

Camp Samuels moving is one of the more egregious differences. Most other movements can be explained by the different ways the map is represented in the games. It's unlikely that the cave walls are moving around, however slightly, either, so when Blosk moves a little west, it's not hugely noticeable. Given that the stalagmite field by the ToM in E/A 1 was supposedly built to keep the tower hidden, this seems an intentional change.

However, Camp Samuels moving a long distance across a river is a bit of a stretch.

#3 didn't actually have new creations. #2 did. The only new things in #3 (as far as game mechanics go) were the anvils, and Alwan and Greta (unique to #3).

A lot of quests in A4 do not affect dialog at all, particularly Job Board quests. A little message will show up when you click on the person INSTEAD of the dialogue box, saying something like "You show Jeff the Nephil's severed head. Jeff hands you a pouch of 300 coins and a silver bracelet."

Are the quests still listed in your quest log?

For the bat bits quest, note that you need multiple bat bits and you are not guaranteed to get one per killed bat. You may need to visit the area repeatedly to get enough.

No. It's considered foreshadowing. It's very clearly part of the world of Exile.

To clarify, crystal wands are a missile weapon found late in the game; I'm not talking about wands that can be used as a potion or scroll.

Rational Mind characters can still use Crystal Wands, though, can't they? No lamps but crystal wands is hard to reconcile.

Well, Roman singletons can, it just requires an obscene number of potions and scrolls, and is much harder even with them.

Jewels, this is still great.

You should list TrueSite -- the links page might technically be part of it, but many people will get to it from elsewhere, and it absolutely deserves to be listed.

Similarly, you might include the Periodic Table and the Deathmatch Memorial (*cough*) in the other stuff section.

One minor correction -- EE is not really "by" Arancaytar (let alone "Arancaydar"), as it is a community effort -- "maintained by" or "organized by" might make more sense.

Also, I notice that there are no sites for Avernum 4. Is this really true? That's a statement if I ever saw one.
