I'm finishing up on my yet another playthrough of Allods: Sealed Mystery (I blame Darth Roxor's excellent let's play of the second installment for this 
), and then I'm totally going to replay Wizardry 8 and Risen.

I got Wizardry 8 (Steam) in a bundle but can't get it to run. CTD every time, no matter which video options I choose.
As for Risen, I've only played the first one and really liked it back then. Don't know about the sequels, though.

I haven't played Wiz8 since I upgraded from XP to Win7, but I don't really expect any problems. I own the 3xCD version, so hopefully it runs ok. If all else fails, it's for sale at GOG.
Risen 1 is the only one in the series that's good, if strongly derivative. Liking R2/3 is pretty much admitting to having shit taste in games.

I can't remember which configuration I chose for Wiz8, but I'm quite sure it only ran at 800x600. I had CTD problems with Steam's JA2 as well, which weren't there in the GOG version.

Note, some resolutions are not supported by the widescreen mod, and will end up stretching the game.

Thanks people. Let's see if the fickle gods smile upon me and can get it to run.
Playing Mad Max and enjoying it so far, woukd definetly recommend to fans of Just Cause 2 and Mad Max fans in general... Although the lack of aussie accents is disturbing
Enjoying helping out the gf with Pillars of Eternity and will probably start a brand new party once the Wasteland 2 EE is out

Went on holiday for a week, came back and spent a couple of days on Arkham Knight. Now I'm back on Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
Looking forward to Wasteland 2 Director's Cut and Divinity: Original Sin EE.

Hey! So good to hear someone else's having a good time with the Mad Max game. As a long-time fan of the series, I'm impressed, even if I can mark some curious omissions such as the lack of bikes and war rigs (favourite fan-requested feature for upcoming DLC) and the strange firearms distribution-curve of that particular stretch of the Wasteland. All in all, really atmospheric, minimalistic and enjoyable. The level design is fantastic. No two enemy camps are alike... coming from the 30 identical oil rigs in Just Cause 2, this is exciting.

Orcs must die!
dunno why i play this tbh, no character progression outside of expensive skull upgrades, mindless butchering of Orcs, pretty straight forward lvl design.

I frickin love both OMD games, spent tons of time playing them.
Would love some war rigs and some special Road Warrior style missions of safeguarding conboys and monster truck battles, really hope they have some DLC because the game as fun as it is could use some more content

So after I finished finally a "run" in This War of Mine (awesome stuff, I hope they keep making games like this) and played a couple of campaigns of Massive Chalice (underrated in my opinion, people that liked nuXCOM should give it a go, some interesting mechanics in there)....
I started at last Blackguards. Holy shit, this is awesome. Stats, loot and tb battles. And some "story" for the flavor. Love it.

Could you shortly explain what makes it so much worse?

Actually Bubbles reviewed it. Darth Roxor wrote the preview.
This should tell you most of what there is to know about the game, if you liked the stat heaviness of the first one:
"Blackguards 2 scuttles all of these mechanics with an admirable clarity of purpose. Attributes have been removed. All spells cost an equal amount of xp, though they are by no means equally useful. Most Spells cannot fail at all. Meanwhile, weapons have a higher base to-hit chance even at low talent values and are also easier to master, since increasing a weapon talent now automatically grants the damage bonus – along with other perks – that used to be tied to strength and other attributes."
