after beating the game im giving my oppinion:

I think last boss and the shades were too easy and i miss the multiple options like the anama thing in A3. Also the are no hidden doors. I think it was small game compared to others avernum series.

Besides that i think its a great game. The job boards, and game interface are definitely good. And the story was pretty cool too.

I killed all the shades, i even have a save before each shade kill so i can kill them over and over.

I did ended with 20k unspent gold and 25pts on mage and priest without use

I saved all the gold bars, steel bars, mandrake and all the herbs but the last boss was so ez that i didnt need them

DIE ANNOYING SHADES

if i remember correctly in exile 3, you could absrob other monsters into crystals and then summon them back, can i do that in avernum 3?

how different is exile 3 from a3?

I just would like to know to see if i buy Exile 3 or avernum 3

avernum is a fantasy game, and its full of magic.

I dont see the need to make it more realistic. If you have slithszeraki, talking dragons, giant mutant cockroach, why cant you have healing magic, and towns that restores hp.

I don't say that sinergy idea is bad but it just does not fit into avernum/ exile.

I dont see the need for it to be so realistic, this is a RPG, where you use magic, spells, summons and fight mistical monsters, it is not real from the start. I dont see the need for it to be more realistic.

I think its fine that you have to save before going to major fights so if use the wrong strategy and die you can go back and try something different.

Huh. That's funny. It sounds as though Jeff is trying to do the same thing that I was trying to do in Exodus. Now he'll put me to shame, and as I play A5, I'll have to keep reminding myself that this is his full-time job, and I just was working on evenings and weekends to make that scenario.
I dont see the similarity between Jeffs description of A5 and your scenario named Exodus, the description on your website only says its a journey of adventurers into the sliths lands.

how about if you start knowing lots of spells since start, and then you just gain power by making them stronger when you train them

I have played many mmorpgs, and most of them is just about killing monster to increase lvl and get better equipment to kill bigger monsters. There is no real plot on the game, meanwhile Avernum has a nice plot and storyline,thats why i bought it.

I do think graphics should be revised cause i think the hellhound looks like a frog or human in 4 legs.

I have only seen green dragons, you guys seemed to use only one color for each beastiary.

And why all mages are blue? make them pink, yellow, black.

Also if it is as i read, that there is no point in increasing a spell power, why not put a person at start of the game that explains it. You could call him the Party Instructor. And it could explain how to create good parties. And that its better to save money for skills instead of spells. He could give you tips in exchange for doing the first town quests.
