I predict this thread will reach 600 pages.

Wizardry 6 was a good game.

Wizardry 6 was a good game.

For sure. I'm kind of disappointed in myself that I slept on it originally.

When I was first introduced to Cleve's predecessor, the illustrious D.W. Bradley, I only did a continuous playthrough of 7 and 8 because I was told those were the best. Earlier this year, I did a playthrough of 6 and it holds up surprisingly well in conjunction with those two. I just wish I wasn't so busy aka lazy and force myself to bring my Wiz 6 party into another playthrough of 7 and 8, but honestly that seems pretty daunting right now.

Cleve, have you tried Disco Elysium? The Codex loves it.

 

[Jack_Deth]

I really thought Fallout would've been in the top 3.

Are the themes in your game inspired by the above?

Oh ffs, don't tell me I will have to start playing blobbers now.

 

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Lots of ideas from Nietzsche in the game, including the critique of the notion that "the world is broken," a doctrine that Friedrich insisted was endemic to the botched and the bungled. Projection.

What does Gerrymander think about the internet and vidya?

Sometimes I think the inspiration for the internet itself flows from the currents of thought that were created in Mander's amazing book.

Cleve has some serious Stockholm Syndrome going on.

What's that mean? Quick, before I set you to [IGNORE]

It's just a little odd to see this:

RPGs
1. Wizardry 7
2. Wizardry 6

knowing your long antipathy towards and with some of the big-wigs at Sir-Tech.

Guessing he likes the games, but not necessarily the people who made them...

First mistake was believing that the people at Sir-Tech had much if anything to do with the creation of both 6 & 7.

Taking the profits does not make you even a game producer.

The now bankrupt entity once known as Sir-Tech has said a lot of stuff.

Cleve probably admires Bradley, as he should.
