YouTube - Age of Fear: The Undead King (Gameplay #2)

So this is not quite a roleplaying game per se, but I think fans of tactically oriented retro RPGs (such as GameBanshee's Game of the Year 2009, Knights of the Chalice ) might be interested to ...

If you look at the mechanics, then yes, Morrowind and Oblivion were basically the same game.

Thanks for proving my point; core gameplay mechanics is all that matters to me, and whenever there's a substantial similarity in that respect there's bound to be more to the comparison than the Zeppelin ...

Excited? No. Hopeful? Yes, as always.

I've not truly enjoyed a Bethesda game since Daggerfall way back in 1996-1997 - and even that was of course a train wreck in many ways - but every time they announce a new game I can't help but hope that it'll be a genuinely great one this time around ...

I loved Wizardry 8 but I think Wizardry 7 is still the best in the trilogy. That said, I completely agree with you on the puzzles. More specifically, there are just not enough few clues and the clues that do exist are hopelessly obscure, so you're more likely to be successful by resorting to ...

Good work with Wizardry 6, Gilliatt! Making it through the game without the benefits of class switching sure sounds like an impressive achievement to me. It was also nice to hear that I wasn't the only one who really hated those trapped chests... ;)

And no, apart from missing out on the extra ...

Well, I just wanted to add that I finished Wizardry 6 yesterday (took me about 30 hours all in all), and I must say I really enjoyed it. There were definitely gameplay mechanics that I never quite understood (for example, no matter what I did I just couldn't raise any weapon skills for my Mage and ...

Well, I actually did settle for lower than 18 for two of my characters (like you, I also tried several hours and don't remember having seen a higher figure than 18). Although 18 is obviously very good, 16-17 is supposed to be at least acceptable...

So far I've only played for two hour or so, I've ...

I'm no expert on W6 but I've just created a party and started playing it myself (needless to say, getting all those apparently required +18 bonuses took some time).

About your second question, I am myself planning on playing the original DOS version of W7, primarily because then I can use DosBOX ...
