[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8954873, member: 50987"] I will always have a deep and abiding love for Sir-Tech's [I]Wizardry[/I] games. I appreciated how gritty and unforgiving the gameplay could be, and how rich the (mostly text-based) story was. I started playing [I]Wizardry I [/I]and[I] II[/I] on NES, and then picked up [I]Wizardry V[/I] in college after it was released on SNES. After I bought my first computer, I played (and loved) [I]Wizardry 6[/I] and [I]7[/I]...especially because I could import my previous party of adventurers from "[I]Bane of the Cosmic Forge[/I]" into the new "[I]Crusaders of the Dark Savant[/I]." And I looked forward to being able to import them into the next game in the sequel... ...and then they released [I]Wizardry 8[/I] and it was a nightmare. They changed the GUI to make it more "modern," they tried to make it look like the 3D-rendered games of the late 90s without actually investing in a game engine, and the whole thing ended up being a hot mess. I wanted the 8th installment of the Wizardry franchise, but what Sir-Tech delivered was "Different RPG Inspired By The Wizardry Franchise." So...alas, they lost me. I never finished [I]Wizardry 8, [/I]and I never moved on. But I still love those old games, and I still play them every now and then. I think my most recent playthrough was [I]Dark Savant[/I], and it was...I think the first Christmas of the pandemic? [/QUOTE]
