Forum Overview :: Might & Magic X: Legacy :: Anyone have experience with the Wizardry games?

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]The "okay" game Paper Sorcerer and the frontpage might and magic 1 article have whetted my appetite for an old school Bard's Tale-like Western RPG. I just purchased the whole Dark Savant Trilogy (Wizardry 6-8) on sale from GOG for something like $5 total. I'm at a point in my life where my time is worth more than my money, and I'm not sure if I want to invest the time to carry a party through all 3 games. I've always heard Wizardry 7/Gold was amazing. Am I going to miss out on a lot if I skip 6? Might and Magic 6, the 3D one, was <A HREF="http://web.archive.org/web/20010917211037/www.oldmanmurray.com/wc.dll?poe~showforummsg~RANTS~003474~MURRAYGAME">one of my biggest gaming disappointments of all time</A>. Is Wizardry 8 more of that, or is it worth playing? I guess my question is, to maximize enjoyment, should I just play 7, or should I do the whole trilogy?[/quote]
