Um, RPG = Role Playing Game, if you can't make your own characters as completely as possible to match your desired adventuring party makeup, then you're left with the force-feed system that games like BG2 used (you make one character, the rest are pre-determined, all you can do is decide to keep them in the party or not, and even then that was not always the case).
Is that not what I said? I critic the game because of the quests not about the character making! In my opinion, wizardry 8 has o of the best system I ever saw in CRPG gaming. The probleme here is the lag of quests!
Some pointed out here the quests given, well I did nearly all of them, execpt the final since I didn't finish. But if I compare with MM (might and magic) games this game just have few quests. Altrough they are moslty interesting since YOU have to look for a clue. In MM games the clue is given by the quest giver when the quest is given. I would have prefered much more side quests and not spending my time hacking and slahing monsters to get XP. If you see a game like MM 50% of the XP you can do are with quests. In Wiz8, what... 5% if you make a low level game.
So for the one that find this game with plenty of quests I propose you to have a look to Might and Magic games. Then you will understand what I mean.
