The third generation of the insanely extensive RPG is here.

Avernum: Escape From The Pit, a vastly enhanced modern remake of one of the biggest and longest-running hard-core isometric RPG worlds that came to being with Exile in 1995, is available 50% off until Monday, for Windows and Mac on GOG.com.

Avernum: Escape From The Pit tells an epic story of a huge underground prison colony - place of exile for empire's banished citizens, outcasts, criminals, and bastards, that becomes a thriving kingdom of its own over the course of hundreds of years of existence. For a computer game, it's quite impossible to recreate what pen & paper role playing games offer: endless adventures in a land of possibilities limited only by one's imagination. That's why most computer RPGs don't even try to reach that goal. Jeff Vogel's Avernum: Escape From The Pit defies that rule, and is one of the few games in the genre that come close to the analog predecessors in terms of complexity, depth, and scale.

If you're up for the challenge of a insanely vast feature-packed world that can takes months to explore in full, dare to descend into Avernum: Escape From The Pit. The 50% off release discount lasts until Monday, January 12, at 10:59AM GMT.
I have this one on Steam but have yet to play it. I look forward to it as I work through my back log.
Edit:

This is a remake.
Avernum complete refers to the original series.

A remake of a remake to be more exact ;)
Exile: Escape From the Pit -> Avernum 1 -> Avernum: Escape From the Pit

I've finished the first two (years ago), I doubt if a need a third one...

I thinkg, that this is similar to the old Avernum (the first), but with enhanched graphics. Maybe I am wrong.

Does someone know, if this supports widescreen resolutions? Because the screenshot looks 4:3/5:4 to me ...
Cool, now Nethergate, please.
Hows the remake different (graphics aside) from the originals?.better or worse?
Finally the remake is here too. Only remaining title now is Nethergate: Resurrection.

I read it's a mix of the original games and Avadon. It uses the modernized graphics, gameplay and GUI from Avadon, which means it's more userfriendly and less hardcore-rpg then the old one. Don't get me wrong here, it's not a dumbed down and casual game.
