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.

Rings of Power
Rings of PowerBand together six powerful magicians and search out the fabled Rings of Power to free your world. Interact and trade with inhabitants of thirty cities. Over 100 animated spells to choose from! Rings of Power is quite different from traditional console RPGs gameplay-wise, and is more similar to Western-style games such as Ultima series. You can freely wander through the huge isometric world, and are not obliged to follow any storyline except the main quest for the eleven rings. You can talk to NPCs about many topics, choose whom to fight, bribe people, etc. There is a day/night cycle which affects the behavior of characters. Unlike most RPGs, there are no weapons and armor in this game. The turn-based combat is entirely dependent on magic spells. On your journey you will encounter characters from several guilds, each proficient in his own type of magic, and make them join your party.
