Just wanting to know how u guys feel Wiz8 ranks other other similar games. such as:

Balder's Gate 2
Wizards and warriors
Morrowind
icewind-dale
Dungeon siege

I've played all of the above and own most of them, I'd say that Wiz8 really ranks near the top. In fact, it can compete for first place with balder's gate 2.

Its a close one, but I'd give the edge to Wiz8 over Balder's gate 2 because:

1) Wiz8 is newer and hence has better graphics.
2) Wiz8 is more complex. This is both a flaw and an advantage depending on what type of player u are. The hardcore players will love Wiz8 for its endless possiblities and statistics with diversity among races and classes. The more casual gamer will like BG 2 for its friendlier interface.

comments?

1. Wiz8 [img]smile.gif[/img]
2. Baldur's Gate
3. Baldur's Gate II

the following are good old games but I don't want to put them in any special order:
- Albion (One of my first CRPGs [img]smile.gif[/img] )
- Stonekeep
- Das Schwarze Auge 1-3 (I bet you've never heard of them They're based on the simlilar named Pen&Paper RPG, don't know if it's available outside of germany)

Balder's Gate 2 = 1
Wizards and warriors = 8
Morrowind = 8
icewind-dale = 1

Why does everyone rank BG 2 so low...i think it lacks depth...but its a pretty good game.

Hah! DSA! Lived in BRD for 7 years and not a week of it went by without a few hours at DSA2&3! The only game i played more was Wiz-7.
Does nobody mention Ultima Underworld because it's a single character game? And i remember a French game, had a 1, 2 & 3, i can't remember its name, you could recruit bunches of chars at the taverns, you had to pay to learn spells, and if you didn't pass, you wasted up that chance. I really liked those games, aside from that. I played them on my Amiga, it was '93 or so, they looked much better than anything else then, and were pretty complex, i guess that was after EOBII, it was better than that, for sure.
But these days, i'm giving W8 a solid 9, i guess if the unfinished parts might have made it a 10, just because i thought it could have been bigger. (i really liked the size of W7!)
