SENTIENT BEINGS NEED NEVER FEAR PAIN

EXECUTING SUDO COMMA... Oh wait, that's Legion :P.
I actually liked most of my squadmates battlecries much better then Harbinger's.

It certainly got pretty repetitive.

I loved Legion. And Tali's battle cries had a number of Baldur's Gate II references. (Go for the optics! Go for the optics!)

Wizardry 8. The most replayable rpg ever, if you're into the genere.

Wish these "kinds" of games hadn't died out, but evolved alongside the rest.

I actually liked Wizardry7 quite a lot more tho. The high point in the series imho;)

Wizardry 8 tried to do a lot of things differently, but just felt "clumsier" as a result imho.

It's sad indeed. But understandable -- not much audience left for such rpgs, where a random battle can take 30 mins to complete ;-)

The whole FF series is...meh.

But 8 takes the cake in sheer stupidity. Never seen an more ridiculous plot in all my life.
Nobody dies as a virgin - the life ****s us all!

You're a wrongularity from which no right can escape!

It never took 30 minutes once you got to the goodies/spells like Nuclear Blast, Word of whatever it was called and i think uhhh Mind Flay (or so) :)
The enemies in middle/late game also had a tendency to make short work of your party rather quick, if you didn't take drastic measures right from the start.

But since you usually fought battle after battle for hours on end your point is of course still valid. ;) On the other hand - i really liked the battles as i played! :)

I voted KotoR because it is super fantastic and it's one of the few RPGs I have played (the other on the list being KotoR OO).

Generally that is true. Still, there are battles where the enemy has huge loads of HP, while also your party is apt to withstand a hell of a beating before perishing (like in the screenshot I attached). But, yep, tedious battling is actually one of the best things about this game :)
