This game is one of the best Wizardry titles ever produced.

Busin 0 Wizardry Alternative Neo



U.I looks like a clusterfuck and it takes up almost half of the screen. Seems pretty annoying.


Goes both ways. You can clutter it even more or do it more minimalistic.

I've heard that fight against Beldr is "hard". IMO it's not hard, but fucking retarded. You can hurt him only with one level-dependant attack of your MC, while he summons endless waves of troops and heals himself by draining HP from your team. That's not something I would call a "tactical challenge". More like intellectually-challenged game development. Best way to win is to level-up your MC while pumping up STR and AGI or use cheat codes to do it quickly.
I went with sth even more simple: just reduced his HP to 1 using Cheat Engine:

Increasing AGI and STR to 10 each is too difficult, better hack instead like a lazy sloth.

DeSu tactics in a nutshell: you don't fight against a boss, but against a timer, with bloat numbers and single attack spamming.

I would say that's not true, but I don't remember much of DeSu1 anymore, other than endgame enemies having lots of resistances. I'm playing Desu2 3DS Edition but parked it for now, I'm not in the mood of Jrpgs lately. And the characters are worse than the first one (although there's no Yuzu at least).

Sure you can raise a party of elemental dancers and bulldoze the entire content by rock-paper-scissor instead of just holy dance, almighty physical blows and piercing multi-strikes. Anyways, the point is these games don't offer much more compelling tactics value other than tweak and fuse demons to brute force through it.
Few years ago I made a thread introduced by a pretty lengthy post about DeSu 1&2. I just overthought over a pair of games that aren't too interesting to begin with or deserving of much attention.

An undercover mission as a change of pace.

Within Hammerite's walls. Thief ingame sect that worships a deity known as The Builder. More than just a quirky bunch of fanatics wielding sledgehammers idly chanting old English, all of the sparse game's exposure dedicated to them in regards of builder's wisdom and sayings are quite an engaging read. Their structures stand a contrast against the prevalent late medieval setting with metalwork and steampunk elements.

This painting world quest illustrates very well what IMO is Oblivion's biggest failing
Great premise, terrible fucking execution

This game is loaded with excellent ideas for quests
But when you actually go do them, not one lives to their potential
If they had gotten at least that right then maybe the game might have been good despite all the other shit

Well at least it's still has content that sounds appealing to engage in, none of the following Beth games have even that

Been playing Greedfall off and on. Animations are pretty bad but the game looks very nice at times, especially the armour sets. It also has a refreshing setting that hasn't been done to death yet.

When you want to add all of your interesting ideas in your game, but you can't flesh them out because you have a deadline to meet. This is what many quests feel like in Oblivion. Thankfully, it has mods that improve on most things.

The biggest offenders for me are the repetitive forts, shrines and ruins.
