Finished Game ... a few thoughts (minor spoilers) - Page 2

Mr Creosote · 10-02-2003, 05:25 PM

Good report Mr Elkston, echo my own thoughts about the game.
Its a good game but not a great game, and IMO certainly not of the standard of Mr Bradley's Wizardry series (Pe Wiz8 of course). I do hope we do see more publications from DWB, but on the minimal off-chance that he reads these boards I do hope he makes his next game compatible with the operating system and hardware applicable to the at the release of the game. W&W is a Dos game cobbled to run under Win, and it shows!

Strangely in some ways W&W is more Wizardry series like than Wizardry 8. W&W has an atmosphere, and thats what characterised the Wizardry series, but was lacking in Wiz 8.

The days of 1st person D&D games has unfortunately passed, and I feel we will have skant offerings in the future. Shame really, it was fun!

That D.W thing is long story...
WillowIX claims that Wyvern is D.W.
It took several months me to imagine are Wyvern female or male...

WillowIX. say D.W is Wyvern,
Wyvern doesn't know that and think ( well, thought oneday ) that Bungleau is D.W
And I claimed once I'm D.W...

So you never know who is really D.W in this forum,
and he/she can have several nics... HUH!

How very interesting. Then perhaps I can break the record and become the first on the forum to officially deny my being D.W.Bradley.

Sorry, bfstcs, but as you can see here, you're not the first to deny being DW Bradley. Just the most recent.

I still have my suspicions about Radek...

Olli Kalma · 10-03-2003, 04:05 PM

Bungleau!
I think after elkston read that old post he will
be so confused that he really needs D.W's help to fix his
image of Gael Serran!

And where's Radek? Haven't seen him for ages!

LiOnHe@rT · 10-04-2003, 12:46 AM

well, i guess that an investigation needs to be carried out in order to find out who is INDEED D.W. Bradley! List of suspects are most likely:-
1)Wyvern
2)Radek
3)Bsfcts
4)Bungleau
well well well, unexpectedly these are our 4 prime suspects!

B, Radek is in Prague, and gets to drink some of the finest beer in the world, and play puter games. That is why his knowledge is so extensive.

It's that old guru that hasn't visted in awhile "Packrat" that has my vote.

My tactics bore fruit. I knew that officially denying something would raise all the more suspicion. And now I am number three on the list. Impressive! I like it.

Now just to raise some further suspicion and throw another player into the ring: Why do you think Sazerac has been so strangely quiet on the W&W forum for so long? Perhaps he has something to hide in this respect.

And what about Chocolate? We all submit to him every day, but what do we know of his alter ego?

elkston · 10-05-2003, 11:13 AM

Upon reflection, I think it is highly doubtful that Wyvern is Bradley.

The main reason is that Wvy. would often post information about hex editing and even go as far as to hack people's savegames. But it was obvious that the information he discovered was through reverse engineering and trial and error.

If Wyrven were actually Bradley, the W&W source code and game tools would be readily available to him and he wouldn't need to poke around with Hex Editors to reverse-engineer save games.

Wyrven is a pillar of the W&W online community. But is not D.W. Bradley.

Quick, call in Mulder and Scully.

Sounds like an X-Files to me.
