That's also why I'd also recommend Wizardry 5 "Heart of the Maelstrom" if you can stand the archaic graphics...it was David Bradley (author of Wiz 6 and 7's) first contribution to the Wizardry games. Bradley was a master at storyline and plot, and at NPC characterization. His characters were more whimsical than dark, even in a very "dark" oriented plotline, and there was always something to laugh at. Not to mention some pretty hilarious situations.

Like, in Wizardry 7, in a certain area where the only way to escape was to get "stoned" (and I don't mean petrification either; he even provided your characters with the pipe and "pastille" as well!) LOL, I kept that in my inventory all the way through the endgame, in case they wanted some more "recreation" on their journey, heh heh
