engine is not very successful

It's a shooter engine, same one as in Blood 2 and later FEAR and Shadow of Mordor.

The first three Might & Magic games allowed the player to build a roster of characters, so you were not limited to using just an initial six created party members. II and III introduced hirelings that could be swapped into the ensemble as well, making it possible to even run different parties in a single play through.

The answer is Wizardry 8, the only blobber really worth playing.

Having six characters and sixteen (I think) hirelings to distribute all that fat loot to was sweet in MM2.

Wiz 7 too if a bit inferior . Strangely the cuck brigade isn't spamming you with shitty ratings for saying the truth.

Give it time dude, give it time.

There's a Godwin's Law about M&M-threads: "Sooner or later, some hurtcore geek will turn up in a thread about games he purportedly dislikes to berate everyone for not playing only Wizardry"

Wizardry nerds are perpetually envious of Might and Magic chads who can enjoy the maybe less complex, but more fun M&M series

A true gentleblobberer is above such petty bickering.

Wizardry 8 was the Fallout of the blobber genre. None of the other blobbers even come close to being as good.

Xeen is quite dated, in my opinion. Today I would probably enjoy a replay of M&M X the most.

Might and Magic 3, 4 and 5 are the LEAST dated DOS RPGs of them all.
Less dated than the contemporary Wizardries (6 and 7) and Ultimas (7 and Underworld). Very usable and intuitive interface with FULL mouse control AND keyboard shortcuts. Colorful graphics that still look nice. Absolutely not dated at all.

Damn, beat me to it.

Wizardry 8 is the only good blobber?

No RPG with level scaling enemies can ever be called "good".

Wiz8 is the only blobber a lot of people around here have ever played.

M&M v Wizardry is the quintessential

Darth Roxor Do you have a review of M&MX I can read?

That's not how this works and you know it.

It's one of the few blobbers DraQ has played, so he's hardly an authority on the subject.
Neither am I, for that matter, Wiz 8 being one of the few I haven't played. But Wiz 8 is kind of a pseudo-blobber anyway, like MM6-8, with its free form movement.

MM1-2 are great, despite the level scaling.

Blobbers are the most niche of all rpg , turn based an even smaller niche inside , the least popular of them even at their peak. So from time to time someone make an alt account to rile up things here for us old vet. Of course the effort is appreciated, some good' old classic trolling is still working .
But face it there's not even enough people alive ,able to make beleivable lies about playing this, for a circle jerk anymore...They are old ,archaic subpar on everything, no depth in combat, no interactivity, no replayability. Course no one going to play that shit anymore. Everyone will play a superior action rpg like cyberpunk or if they really like turn based combat, solasta or BG3.
Another thread idea is to pretend elex is good too.
