Name the Game from the Screenshot, Part 4

I thought this would be caught by someone.

The game came out around the time of Outcast. It was set up on an island that was depicted in
quite a decent rendering engine. It had one of the best plots ever for a PC game in my opinion.

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.

But if I'm right, what kind of a weird-looking creature is that?

Noman · Post by **Noman** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 1:20 pm

heh.. like I said it had the one of the best plots I have ever seen and I won't like
it spoiled for someone who may still play it someday. And not just the plot, the puzzles
were awesome too. The game works great today with dgvoodoo glide wrapper and vdmsound
in XP. Haven't tried it in Vista though.

Hipolito, it's your turn now.

I played the Redguard demo and thought it was OK until I heard the voice acting. Oh me oh my. Based on what you've said, though, I might pick it up if I found it somewhere.

I just watched a YouTube of some of the game's cinematics, and one of the commenters pointed out that the person who voiced Cyrus went on to voice the male Redguards in Morrowind and Oblivion. That's pretty neat.

Time for my game. This little lady stole my heart. See if you can guess both the game and her name.

Makes me think “Die by the Sword” but I never played it.

Wizardry 8. That's Al-Sedexus.

The triangle targetting icons gave it away.

Hipolito · Post by **Hipolito** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 10:06 am

Yes, the game is Wizardry 8, but while she might look the same as Al-Sedexus, she's actually Nebdar. Oh, sweet Nebdar.

Your turn, Zurai.

Nebdar... Nebdar...

Who's Nebdar?

Oh well. It'll be a short while before I can get a screenshot up - I have to get to the point in the game I want to screenshot.

Ah, she's a honey that only shows up for the men she fancies (and who have looked up a walkthrough to figure out how to access a certain area, practically impossible without hints).

I was about to say, wait a minute! I have played Wiz 8 a couple of times and never seen her!

I knew it was either Wiz 7 or 8 by the graphics, but the character was not familiar. Huh. And: I miss Sir-Tech Canada!

I don't know how hard this one'll be. I know others on this board have played it, but it's a few years old.

Ahhhh, she must be in one of the retro dungeons. I never did do all of them.

I believe that would be Entropia, although it looks like it might have gotten a graphics upgrade since I last played.
I remember trying to play for free for a while but after harvesting sweat to sell for a week I gave up.

Zurai · Post by **Zurai** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 1:32 pm

Nope!

Noman · Post by **Noman** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 3:09 pm

Advent Rising ?

Zurai · Post by **Zurai** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 4:38 pm

Yep, it's Advent Rising. One of my personal favorite games - especially the music.

Here's the next one........

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Sat Jul 19, 2008 11:16 am

Dreamfall.

Noman · Post by **Noman** » Sat Jul 19, 2008 3:12 pm

Correct!

With Age of Conan's success, I hope Dreamfall Chapters get to be made.

Big Hint: it's an underwhelming sequel to a beloved game.

Looks like Semaj gets to post a shot now as well.

Another screen from mine and a hint. It's a puzzle adventure game with a month in the title.

I believe this is from a cutscene for a very pretty game.
