Well, Wiz8 is probably my second fav CRPG game ever, if that helps. And quickly climbing to the first slot. Depends really on what you call slow. You mentioned M&M and BG, which are both good games; but then Doom... Wiz8 is not just hack and slash. Plenty of quests, NPCs, etc to do.

less than 30 seconds as in m&m or dose the fight seen take

Whoo Yeah!

Wiz8 is probably the best of it's genre.

Lots of fighting sure, but the story is great. And the graphics just get better as you go through the game.

Aint no body can tell trynton isn't one of the coolest parts of the game and that's only ten hours in!

Fights can take 10 minutes (the way it _should_ be), if you have a lot around you. Or you can take a mob of 10 things down, if you plan the battle correctly.

Personally love the battles are done in Wizardry 8. The only other type of battle system that could compare is the way Star Trail (Realms of Arkania), but that battle system wouldn't work for Wizardry 8.
