If you want them you have to buy them; it's only $25 for the whole trilogy. -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.

Technically the full versions are hosted. You just have to pay for the code to unlock them. —Alorael, who likes that model. Among other benefits, you can look at the end of the game with ResEdit! Yes, he may have gone spoiler hunting back in E1... Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Playing Exile 1 again I'm realizing that honestly very little changed from 1.0 to 2.0. Graphics and the introduction of AP seem to be about it...it doesn't have any of the niceties of later Exile games, 3 in particular, despite now sporting the same graphics. E.g., old-school casting dialogues, old-school randomly-enter-words-from-responses-and-hope-you-strike-it-lucky dialogue system, that sort of thing. I'm not sure how much I'm willing to put up with these things anymore. Avernum starts to look more tempting. Posts: 26 | Registered: Thursday, May 31 2007 07:00 |

Hmmmm. I actually didn't like Avernum - the movement was off putting to me - especially since I am very good at keypad movement. I got used to 2handed keyboard work via Civ and never looked back. the mouse work in Avernum made me grind my teeth in frustration. Perhaps I need to look at it again? -------------------- Zarai n'Sharia! Mehkkti an khre shen mahkkti! Posts: 56 | Registered: Tuesday, July 23 2002 07:00 |

You can go for full keyboard control with Avernum as well. Numpad for movement with the alphabetical keys for various quick talk, get, etc. buttons. Geneforge, on the other hand, does need a mouse to play. More on the subject, I should still have the original Exile on a floppy disk somewhere, now if only my computer still had a floppy disk drive...

I'm profoundly grateful that the fact that my first Mac and first PC both came after the advent of the CD-ROM drive, thus making the vast majority of the software I ever acquired for either CD-based. Helps nostalgia ever so much. And man...smaller spell list that's minus summoning and fields (my favorite ones), less friendly handling of locked doors, awkward item-information system....I'd never quite realized what phenomenal leaps in playability Exile III (the only one I played heavily) made. I think I'm still hooked all over again. Posts: 26 | Registered: Thursday, May 31 2007 07:00 |

Exile II (my personal favorite) had most of the gameplay advances that were missing from the original Exile. Doors that opened, fields, more spells... if you haven't played it, give it a try. Posts: 66 | Registered: Saturday, November 4 2006 08:00 |

I have the Trilogy CD. It's on the stack. But surely you don't want me to do them out of plot order? :) Posts: 26 | Registered: Thursday, May 31 2007 07:00 |

On a tangentially related question, does anybody have the (old!) E2 player character graphics in a lossless format? This topic had them, but in JPEG and against a white background so some people lose their white parts visually. -------------------- Lifetime Spiderweb Gamer and Fan of Classic Style Graphics Posts: 42 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Ooh, shiny. Thank you. I've always been puzzled why the guy with the brown robes and staff disappeared in E2 only to return in E3... he was one of my party members and I had to use a different one. -------------------- Lifetime Spiderweb Gamer and Fan of Classic Style Graphics Posts: 42 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |
