Wizardry 8 (PC) review (&the importance of Wizardry)

[EDIT: Before you point out how “paradigm“ and “Deus Ex“ are pronounced, check the comments :) I didn’t know that Hadriex was unfamiliar with those words when I sent him the script. ] Some of the footage is really grainy, I tried rendering in different formats but to no avail. Since I might not get another chance to talk about the relevance&influence of Wizardry, I wrote briefly about its history since I feel like the series doesn’t get the recognition it deserves these days. So if you just want to skip to the review, go to 4:53. And before anyone gets pedantic; yes, Oubliette and other PLATO games did the whole dungeon crawling thing before Wizardry and inspired its creators, but Wizardry&Ultima 3 were the most imporant and influental titles in Japan, which in turn can be seen all over in early JRPGs.
