Pretty much what the topic says. Which DW Bradley game gave you the most enjoyment?

Wizardry 6. It was my most played Wizardry. The one filled with the nostalgia of my youth. Thus it wins.

Why do you choose TTOE? It is not a Bradley game! You fucking bastards! You are making mock of Bradley!

Because Bradley is and has always been an overrated piece of shit game designer. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun with Wizardry 7 like any old school CRPGer and even with it's design flaws(re: nonsensical naming conventions for skills and such) it is still a thousand times better than ANY JRPG ever released. And there ARE some design decisions he probably deserves a tip of the hat for(the front/middle/rear 'ranks' and attack modes allowed from such in Wizardry 7 etc.) but come on! I mean really what purpose does re-naming simple, easily understood skills like 'stealing', 'traps/disarming', 'lockpicking' etc. as "Legerdemaine", "Skulduggery" and such serve?! And just because you are mixing any the most popular Asian archetypes(re: Samurai, Ninja, Monk) as character classes does not justify re-naming "Critical strike" as "Kirijutsu" or whatever the fuck! It just means the average CRPG vet has to go to the fucking library to look up an obscure Japanese word and write down that it is being used by Bradley as a synonym for "critical strike"(regardless of what it actuaqlly means).

And for the love of fucking sex with danishes the motherfucker introduced furries to our fucking REAL CRPGs!! If I never come across the option to create a feline or canine humanoid PC in a CRPG again it will be too soon!

Yeah, that's the only thing I don't like about Wiz. Half of the races are non-playable to me because I don't like furries.

Furries are annoying, but nothing prevents one from creating a non-furry party in a game. Or better yet, creating furry characters (they are pretty good stats-wise) and giving them proper human faces. That's the beauty of RPGs for ya :P

No TRUE CRPGer can do such a thing. That is like creating Nephil' PCs in the Exile/Avernum games but giving them human or slith graphics. Can't be done. No matter how much you try and tell yourself that you have no feline furries in your party it says right there on the character sheet/stats that you most certainly DO.

Why, I did create slith and nephil PCs in Avernum or Exile and gave them human graphics :P Consider them permanently polymorphed :D

You havn't played Shin Megami games like Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga or Persona 3.
