The Temple of Elemental Evil - A Classic Greyhawk Adventure: 6/10 points |
Had the potential to become truly awesome: I really loved the combat system but hated the missing opponent AI (I suspect the baddies always pick one out of a few prescribed actions instead of e.g. taking into account your characters abilities). I almost never had to exploit all the tactical possibilities to win a fight.
Unfortunately I couldn't finish the game due to bugs.
Could have done with an option to turn off the eye-candy and speed up combat!
Conclusion: the best combat system of any RPG but they probably ran out of time to write (and debug!) a game using it. What a terrible waste... |
Wizardry 8: 9/10 points |
I enjoyed this more than Baldurs gate.
Found the combat very satisfying. Running away like hell also accounted for some very terse moments!
I would advise to download the patch (wasn't it just a registry hack?) that turns off the monster animations during battles - if only I'd known about this before I finished the game... Would have saved a LOT of time.
Minor niggle: lack of subquests.
The story is only okay I guess, but the immersion is there due to the graphics and npc's.
Considering the scarcity of non- hack & slash RPG's, if anybody produced an expansion pack I'd buy it immediately.
