This article reads more like a review than an encyclopedia article. — JIP | Talk 08:22, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. Much of the article reads like a positive review, and not a reference work. I purged a few obvious ones, but this article needs a serious re-examination to enforce the neutral point of view Alan De Smet | Talk 06:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I used Wizardry and Proving_Grounds_of_the_Mad_Overlord (Wiz 1) as a template and as such removed the wikify bit. Since those two seem okay, then I presume that this way is okay too. It was a first effort there, and usually I'd get a bit more of a chance to fix it up before getting criticism. 5 edits in 30 seconds after initial creation is pretty incredible, don't you think? LOL. Anyway, I hope its okay for you guys now. I also hope nobody is too upset that I wiped most of the first draft to rewrite it. I don't think that anyone else made any major contributions to it other than me before doing that. Next time, can you give me a few minutes to see if I fix it up first?

Okay sorry I checked the time stamps. 1 edit in 30 seconds, another 1 minute after that, and a 3rd 5 minutes later. So only 3 total. My bad. Still seemed a bit harsh, and a bit quick to criticise. Yes, I know, sandbox, but come on guys. 203.122.214.140 09:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
For the record, 233MHz with 64MB of RAM is actually rather wimpy by 2001 standards. I went to college in 2000 with a 500MHz processor and 256MB of RAM, and mine was rather far from being the best gaming computer in my dorm.
I agree. I don't know what kind of computer you (@author) are playing on, but 80% of the stuff you put into the "Game Play" section is bias, exaggerated, and blatently based on trial on a circa 1996 computer. In 2001, I had a 2.4 Ghz processor (still using it), a NVidia Geforce 420 MX (still using it), and 256MB RAM (upgraded it to 1GB last year). Perhaps you should download the 1.2.4 patch from Sir-Tech and reinstall, and if you have a better computer, you may change your mind. -TheRaven7
Sat 22 April 2006 editor. I'm tired of all the bashing Wizardry was getting. It's a great game, if people are so fixiated on graphics they should stick to FPS games where you don't need an "your IQ must be THIS HIGH to enter" sign. And speaking of linear stories, I can point you in dozens of other "RPG"s that are even worse. Yes, this means you, Final Fantasy fanboys. Don't you dare tell me FF games aren't linear. I enjoy FF as well but that doesn't mean I ignore it's flaws. No game is perfect, and besides what is perfect for you will not be perfect for someone else. Be a fan, not a fanboi.
