  1. DA2 confirmed rushed.

    (in Graham Chapman's voice:) I warn you, this thread has become silly.

  2. Interplay classics: Wasteland vs Dragon Wars

    OK, all right! :salute: I'm a codex newbie (and I'm proud of it, heh-heh), so I was not aware of this. Anyway, I'm sure these games have been dissected into pieces 1000 times before in RPG forums, but a head-to-head comparison would be still nice from those guys who played them *both*...

  3. Interplay classics: Wasteland vs Dragon Wars

    Hi Codexites, I'm fed up (again) with the slimmed-trimmed contemporary RPGs, so want to see some real hairy pussy action (i.e. old, hardcore RPG classics). So, what you guys find better, and why: Wasteland or Dragon Wars? To my understanding, both games use skill-based character...

  4. Revisiting Might and Magic 7 or 8

    Heh, and keep the woman and the children in a cryostasis chamber while doing so? :) Anyway, back to the point: as I mentioned before, I *do* like old-school RPGs, but the luxuries of current-gen stuffs spoiled me (automap, journal, etc). So, here's my confusion: IMHO MM8 does have a cool...

  5. Revisiting Might and Magic 7 or 8

    Now I get it. Hack&slash fanatics wanna slaughter trolls!

  6. Revisiting Might and Magic 7 or 8

    Thanks guys for the tip! As for MM3, I've played it for a while back then - I agree that it is a very cool game! (Actually the sweet memories of MM3 were the main reason why my interest returned back to the MM series) However, now I'm a bit jaded, so the luxury of a better journal in...

  7. Revisiting Might and Magic 7 or 8

    Hi Codexites, following my bad habit of visiting old-school RPGs I've missed for some reason in the past, I am looking forward to investigate the Might and Magic series. Currently I am playing World of Xeen but I want to try out a "newer" MM too - but can't decide between MM7 and MM8...

  8. Recommend me an oldskool CRPG

    I would also recommend Magic Candle I and/or The Bard's Tale I. MC1 is tricky. At first, it looks like Ultima IV/V, but it is absolutely unique. Practically every RPG convention has been turned upside down: no character building (you have to *train* pre-set characters to your liking), very...

  9. Oldie stuff: Magic Candle

    OK guys, thanks for the tips! Yes, very surprising. I understand that the MC series were always a cult stuff - and MindCraft was bashed by the reviewers several times for no apparent reason (I remember a notoriuos quote from a local gamer mag: "...as we expect, the game is crap, as is the...

  10. Oldie stuff: Magic Candle

    Yes, I've found it, just forgot about that... Unfortunately that site was the only shrine about MC... a humble effort but no NMA-sized stuff obviously :) What do you think about its story/lore compared to the original MC-series? Is it still true that MC1 has the best setting of all?

  11. Oldie stuff: Magic Candle

    Thanks for the info! Btw, does anyone bothered with MC3 and/or the spinoffs? (Bloodstone, etc) Interestingly, the series have been praised by RPG aficionados here and there, yet so few info can be found on the net about these games... No remake plans, no retro-shrines, no fan-fiction, no...

  12. Oldie stuff: Magic Candle

    Hello Codexites, I'm planning to invest a HUGE amount of time in Magic Candle - because everybody says, that it's actually worth playing. However, I'm not sure which one is the best to play. I know the series are the following: - Rings of Zilfin (pre-MC) - MC1 (said it has the best...

  13. Wanna play Gothic! ... But which one?

    Hi RPGCodexites! I am pretty much bored with nowaday's open-ended RPG lieneup (Oblivion), so I've decided to play Gothic instead. However, I cannot decide which one. This is what I've heard so far: Gothic I + original + good story - slow start - aging graphics Gothic II +...

  14. Old-skool CRpg recommendation for newbies?

    Nu, zajets.... pogodi! Heh, recently bought the series on DVD - I think that was the *sole* speech ever in the cartoon.

  15. Old-skool CRpg recommendation for newbies?

    Are there any significant difference between the two? I have heard that Gothic II is the direct sequel (story-wise) of Gothic I, so I guess it would be wiser to start with the first one. However, if Gothic II is more forgiving and a bit more polished, obviously this would be my choice. Also...
