Junior Adventurer's Guild: March - Wizardry 8

Wizardry 8

Wizardry 8 - Night Dive Studios Trailer
The universe is in the throes of violent upheaval and change. Vast and mysterious forces are preparing for the final confrontation. A small group of heroes from distant lands must plunge into the heart of the maelstrom, to uncover long-forgotten secrets, and bring about a new era. Should they succeed, they will gain the powers of the gods themselves. If they fail, countless worlds will fall into the grip of darkness.

Prepare to experience the culmination of a prestigious RPG series. Enter a vast world of intrigue and wonder. Unravel a gripping, non-linear storyline. Battle your way to victory using your swords, your magic, and your wits. Compete with rivals or align with allies as you struggle to ascend to the Cosmic Circle. Take the battle to the dreaded Dark Savant in Wizardry 8, the phenomenal conclusion to the Dark Savant trilogy, one of the most extensive and challenging stories ever told in classic role-playing games!

Continue the adventure with the group of adventurers that braved through Wizardry 7, or create a new custom party from a plethora of races and classes.
Choose a custom personality for each character and hear them speak over 100 lines of dialogue. Kindly or chaotic, burly or surly - how your characters act is completely up to you.
Talk with intelligent characters who react to how you treat them and become your allies or enemies in your quest of 200 hours of gameplay or more.

The Rules

Post an in-game screenshot proving you've beaten the game to earn a badge. Include your character's stat screen if applicable, just because it's cool to see. Badges can be earned at any time, but if you get yours during the month the game was voted for for you can nominate an RPG released after 10/10/97. Sequels that are direct continuations of a story may be vetoed in favor of earlier titles.

You may add a year, this can become the new naming scheme from this month.

Tough choice this time around, I remember Jagged Alliance 2 being particularly good... Image

Hope everyone is ready to play Shitlivion.
As funny as it would be to fulfill Tweed's prophecy and make a second expedition into Tamriel, Anacronox looks pretty unique so I'll throw my vote behind that.

@Kalarion has been found to be in conflict of interest and will have his Wizardry 8 vote rescinded. He is still free to vote on any other candidate. Thank you for your attention to this matter. :wise:

I wanted to be a winner and Two Worlds II was not the horse to bet on.

It's for consistency with the Wizardry 6 badge. Image Image

If you feel strongly about your suggestion, can you show what it looks like with 704 pixels instead of 15,900?

Wizardry 8 it is. It's a pretty long game so better start it as soon as possible. It's probably like Underrail in length.

I was going to play it, but it's the third in a trilogy with importable saves. I've been tricked...
