Personally I liked the quests found in Wizardry 8. Most quests were long and took quite some time to complete. There are also a number of side quests not related to the main quest to complete.

I just finished the game last night at level 22 to 25 and based on the exp total of about 19,000,000 the quests account for at least 10% of my experience. Granted I did very little wandering around looking for fights and still managed to complete the game without too many problems.

As for Might and Magic, I have never been able to get into the games. I played both I & II as well as the latest. I really wanted to like I & II but the underground battles with several hundred low level idiots just took way too long and occured way too often. At least outside I could use my kill all spells to get rid of them.

I did try and play the latest M&M and was impressed to begin with but the game just started to bog down for me.

IMHO - The whole wizardry series is one of the best CRPGs of all time and wizardy 8 is the crown jewel of the series.
