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.

Nightmare CreaturesThe story behind Nightmare Creatures draws upon gothic horror elements of the 19th century. The story begins in 1666, when a devil-worshipping cult called the Brotherhood of Hecate were conducting sinister experiments in London so as to take over the city and then the world. The Brotherhood tried to develop an elixir that would endow them with superhuman powers. However, rather than creating their intended superhumans, their experiments created only grotesque monsters. When they decided to use these creatures as an army of conquest, one of their number, Samuel Pepys, set their headquarters on fire, resulting in the First Great Fire of London. The game takes place in 1834 when London falls victim to several evil occurrences. Monster sightings are reported along with news of people mutating into ungodly creatures, and that the dead are waking from their graves and walking amongst the living. All of London is in a panic and vulnerable to the schemes of Adam Crowley, a mad scientist and occultist enlisting the help of the Brotherhood.Action Horror Survival
