Talk:Exile (1995 video game series)

message: This article appears to be pure advertisement. Anyone think it's salvageable, or want to salvage it? Bryan 02:19 Oct 15, 2002 (UTC)
:I'd vote to delete - it doesn't even qualify as an advertorial! Someone's just typed in the game jacket blurb and called it an 'article'. KJ
::I disagree. It is linked with Spiderweb Software and their Acernum and the Avernum series. It also enjoys some (albeit moderate) popularity.Reply to David Latapie 16:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also disagree.  The game is very popular among Indie fringe game enthusiasts and deserves a small mention in Wikipedia.  It's no more an "advertisement" than any of the other game pages.  - Solberg 04:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll third that disagreement. As an avid player of the Exile games, I feel they are shining examples of the adventure game genre - no next-gen graphics, no cumbersome interface - just point-and-click, creamy goodness that deserves some recognition. Xeon25 16:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe he's also won awards for the game in the past, which has it pass notability. Its also been mentioned in PC Gamer. Spiderweb software was part of a write up they did on shareware games that were still kicking a few months ago.--Crossmr 17:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also disagree for the deletion of this article. This game is very popular, and there ae plenty of other articles on games on Wikipedia, so why not this one too? This game has won awards, and even if it isn't next-generation quality, who cares? It's one of the best games I've ever played. --Vampire pixie (talk) 03:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion

message: I've cleaned it up a bit, made it look nicer, added some screenshots. The descriptions probably need to be rewritten to be a bit less "advertisement" sounding, I'll get to that as soon as I can.--Crossmr 18:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Having separate articles for an original work and its remake by the same author seems a bit unusual, especially with two articles that are so small. Aside from that, both the separation and content of the articles give too great an impression that Avernum differs greatly from Exile, and neither article clearly illustrates the evolution of the series even within the two aegises (no mention of the addition of graphics shared with Realmz 5.0 in Exile III and subsequent updates of the first two games, no mention of the switch from Nethergate to Genoforge-derived engines in later Avernum games).
While a merger is my top priority due to the superfluity of the two pages and a vote would probably be a good idea, I feel that the merger should go to this article rather than the Avernum one (with appropriate redirects), as Exile is the earlier title for the eponymous caverns. 67.180.206.34 (talk) 13:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
