Kenny's voice actress in Wizardry is now canon to my girl.
She didn't come a million miles to get all soggy at this video.
BUT I DID.
Time to redo your channel intro
Thank you for making the Adam Warski song. You did a great service to mankind, ser.
It’s so perfect.
XD
You? Here? What.
Damn man, can't get away from Chaos these past months
Oh shit waddup
fuckin' Sock Accounts!
Nice! Now we only need for uber and IH to comment and we have the whole party together!
How do you feel about your voice actor?
Oh no, more people, they just keep coming.. and coming.
I'm getting stressed.
This studio legit poured all their budget into voice acting.
I respect them so much
Voice acting is king in this game! I was thinking about doing a remake after being able to extract the voices and making them usable in Unity. But too bad licensing issues stand in the way. This game just deserves a sequel.
@@nathanielguggenheim5522 It deserves a remake, but the IP is in Japan now. Ironically, though, Japan is one of the only video game industries I would expect to slap on tons of voice-acted content on to a niche game like this today.
@@nathanielguggenheim5522 just do it, and release it, but don't tell anyone about it. That is what gets people, is them talking about it online.
@@nathanielguggenheim5522 really? People care about lisencing for games this old so much that they'll actually pursue someone not making enough to pay what lawyers would cost them to pursue it?
Disappointing. Went into the comments after watching the video to see if there's a remake as this game really seems to deserve it based on Seth's summary.
@@wachtwoord5796 yeah. I contacted the Lead Designer and she told me most voice actors licensed for this specific game only... so the voices are theirs. So if any money is involved at some point, people may come for it. And honestly, making a remake for free as a hobby is impossible even in these days. Game is just too big. So I would have to involve some crowd funding along the way.
"Ah, a trap." Harold exclaimed. "I wonder what would happen if I just pulled this thing here..."
Harold was arrested later that day...
Thanks. I am now unable to hear that in any other way, shape, or form.

@@Ritokure what a based lad
Sseth has reached maximum intelligence level but he uses his power to single handedly convince the gaming masses to buy obscure video games with shit posts and uses his funds gained from the merchants to fund hentai of obscure video game characters. He really is my favorite person on the internet.
Chaotic good in a nutshell.
Thats just the adhd I can relate to him
"to fund hentai of obscure video game characters" hold up what? When did he do that?

The party dialogue sounds absolutely phenomenal. I’m shocked at how well done some aspects of the game appear to be, especially given it was released in the early 2000s. There are triple A games coming out now that don’t hold a candle to some aspects of this game.
I mean this is the thing Wizardy was famous for. And it bleed to their other famous game series, Jagged Alliance
@@Myrth1 Yeah, but the idea was brilliant. Pre-generated personalities for player generated characters.
Things have deteriorated so drastically in the past 2 decades since this was released that your shock at its manifest and bespoke quality saddens me. This wasn't even that top tier of a game back then but I still got it on release anyway.
@@ciscornBIG I have discovered a really cool old gane called Drakengard and since then I want to play more old games, you seem to know a lot about it so please recommend me some good ones!
@@Myrth1 Jagged Alliance 2's merc banter will forever go down as probably the best in all gaming for me.

The same thing happened for synthetik legion Rising, the devs were about to hang themselves and Seth basically came and not only cut the ropes but also converted the stools into golden chairs.
It should be the GOG screen since most of the games he reviews are old as dirt.
@@mr2octavio wtf, what was happening?
“Female girl.”
Very... accurately put, Seth.
I too, like to refer to my fellow men as “male boys.”

There are 214 forms of girls now sooo
@@user-ei6qn1db7b
Indeed.
Seeing as how I only posted this 1 year and 4 months ago, I’d say it *barely aged… at all.*
Game was lead designed by Brenda Romero, wife of John Romero. Yup, that John Romero.
The fact she could lead a project that could do this with effectively a dead studio that couldn’t even afford review copies and knew their doors would close upon release while her hubby did whatever Daikatana was with a bottomless pit of resources I think says a lot.
Married in 2012. Irrelevant.
@@karry299 No it isn’t. Does her being married suddenly means she didn’t design and direct the game? Like…I’m asking this non-rhetorically: what is the difference?
I know these comment sections bring out the worst because it’s Sseth and we’re not supposed to say it but this comment in particular makes no goddamn sense
@thefoxoflaurels3437 The point isn't saying she didn't make the game, the point was that she wasn't married to John when she made it. The married part was what was specifically redundant there.
The rest of the tidbit was neat.
@@thefoxoflaurels3437 It really does bring out the worst: people like you. Getting butthurt after misinterpreting comments.
Limitations breed creativity. John was a superstar and not given enough of them.
Scope creep made him its bitch.
I genuinely believed potion seller would be the alchemist but then I realised his potions would be too strong for you.
Because it's a fantasy game. In a perfect world men like him do not exist, I guess it's a perfect fantasy world.
But we're going to battle, we need his strongest potion!
Holy shit, you could actually make a party with the potion seller, the traveler and the 3 perfect world guys (str, int, agl) and it would be perfect!
@@TheFaqvideos But this is not a perfect world.

I can't believe Sseth gave us a glimpse of his DnD Fridays with his youtube buddies.

Fun fact, we've never actually seen sseth and mandalore in the same room before. Makes you think
We do see them in the same party here in this game. And a party of characters modded to look and be called like several other CZcamsrs is definitely all the proof we need. :^)
My guess is that they are Siamese twins..that take turns chloroforming each other
There's also the fact their videos never overlaps
symbal of the dank godz secondary channel you say that but even worse, everyone uses shadowrun Returns music yet no one has reviews
Now that you mention it.. Ive never seen sseth and space hitler in one room. OH FUCK. Well, call me epstein, because we all know what the merchants guild will do to me now.
The dialogue of the party makes it feel like playing D&D with a whole group of Chaotic/Neutral & Evil characters.
About the only time this seems awesome.
There's a lawful/good voice for males that I'm absolutely in love with and if I ever got into animating/game design I'd love to use him. "By my honor I swear I'll protect you!" Such a precious boy he is.
Boooooooooo
That optimized build guide is super legit. Wizardry is a game series that has always hyper-emphasized status conditions over direct damage in terms of party utility. I mean, your enemies will still blow you up just fine, but what's worse is when they drive most of you insane and then pick you to death.
So do it to them.
You're about to hit everyone with the reverse trap card, Sseth. I don't know if they're ready for this.
How are you not verified? I had to go check to make sure it was you.
I assumed you fell off the earth, but youtube just stopped putting your songs in my sub box 3 years ago.. Good to know, thanks YT.
What is this video!? We are not supposed to have heaven and hell on earth for another 4 months!
wtf you're my waifu
Ken! How do you feel about Sseth making you unhinged in his party?
"Obscure, long, frustrating and dehumanizing"? You didn't even have to say it was fun, I'm IN
Try playing Wizardry 4. After beating and continuously exporting your party from Wiz 1->3. In 4 you play AGAINST the party you were developing for the past 3 games as a villain, and all the cards ever are stacked against you and the game hates your guts and wants you to kill yourself IRL.
@@SinaelDOverom Wizardry 4 is digital masochism. It's not even fully an RPG - you don't get combat XP, you only level up when you go to the next level. You have to rely on your summons to be your meatshield in combat. You need to be intimately familiar with Wizardry's spell effects to even escape the first chamber. And if you loiter around in the same place for too long, an instakill ghost might wander onto your tile and just kill you, no saves.
Wizardry 4 is absolutely, unapologetically cruel.
Fun is a buzzword
Personally I was sold on the Jiggle physics
@@JarlFrank that's not even scratching the surface either. the very first room you start in cannot as no door exists, has random encounters and tells you nothing about what to do. You can die before you figure out you need to summon monsters to help you using the symbol on the ground. After you figure that out, you realize you are trapped in the first room with no door, wandering in a circle aimlessly until you die from random encounters. Only by playing the previous titles would you realize you need to cast Milwa(light) to see invisible doors, but wait, you don't even have that spell? Turns out you need to summon the trash mob priests as one of your summons, and hope it uses light in a random encounter, and THEN you can see the door to exit the room. ALL of that just to leave room one. After which you can still just be absolutely destroyed if you picked bad mobs to summon, and then need to restart from step one.
On top of that you have, instant kill crits that can end your game in the blink of an eye, the absolutely convoluted puzzles that require absurd knowledge of the first 3 games, enemies that can PERMANENTLY STEAL key items, a keypress counter that kills you if you reach a certain number of key strokes in a save file, the fact that enemy parties can just outright have the spell tiltowait(nuclear blast) and instagib your team in a random encounter, the fact that you need to remember each spell by name and type them in like an incantation to use them, and many more terrifyingly unfair things too.
Wiz 4 killed the series in japan too, where it was extremely popular and still is considered influential to the game industry there, since the obtuse knowledge required combined with the poor translation went way over their heads and made the game actually impossible to complete. Though this did lead to some hilarious situations where the japanese players thought the goofy monster names and pop culture references were actually cool edgy foreign words that mean serious business, giving the whole game an entirely different feeling to the more lighthearted nature that is implied.
Sseth's character dying multiple times while being the alchemist who sells infinite potions is the most hilarious shit in ages
The voice acting is way too good holy shit.
If it WALKS ... I can CHANGE THAT.
I like how Mandalore got SSeth to do some voiceover in his warhammer video in exchange for voice acting an entire character in a 2001 blobber RPG.
Which warhammer video?
@@matthewboan616 total war 2, dark elves
Wait that's not one of the voices you can pick from the game?
@@T0mN7 You found the joke :)
Sseth has been in a few episodes actually.
That is unironicly some of the best voice acting ive ever heard
Dennis Lief it’s like they were passionate enough and willing to put enough effort into it to hire more than 4 people!
It really is. These guys did Jagged Alliance 2, too. Another example of tons of personality and love poured into a product.
It sounds like the VAs were allowed to have fun with their lines to. Gives it that extra oomph.
Two things I remember from playing it upon release: The merchants "Thank you" line upon sale was played for each sold item. Queued. So if you sold 100 items he would say it 100 times in a row. And the sound followed you, there was no running from it. And enemies spawned even when the game was paused. So when you paused and went to have lunch and came back you were surrounded by hundreds of enemies.
Edit: misremembered, it was Dungeon Lords, not this game.
This sounds amazing 🤣🤣
@@geoffdb8118 this sounds horrible ;
Thats just plain bs. Nothing of this ever happend to me in 99999 runs.
@@nathanielguggenheim5522 You are right. Mixed it up. The game I meant was "Dungeon Lords" by David Bradley (Wizardry series). Sorry.
@@dwargrim then, uhh edit or delete your original comment ?
I feel like only you can make these old ass games look fun and playable but when i try to play them i feel like a chimpanzee trying to do tax returns
How well is the return?
I love when Sseth summarizing the plot of any game he's reviewing, because I'm never sure if it's real or just pure fanfiction.
It's kind of like how Hunter S. Thompson used to do it: nothing factual, nothing even resembling it, but the spirit of it is spot on
And the answer is YES!
I can personally vouch for his Space Station 13 videos.
A friend and I played it because of his video and our escapades were quite entertaining. I killed a man while trying to attach his new robotic leg because I didn't know how to roboticist and because the vict...patient agreed to my inexperienced hands doing surgery, meanwhile my friend the clown was kidnapped by a mime, locked in a bathroom and swirlied to death.
Other than the fact that he is using comparisons to dragon ball, it's accurate.
Just to get to the first town it also takes like 3-4 hours on your first...second... third.. well you'll be restarting a lot.
Its been about 14 years since I last played it, but from what I can recall, Sseth is pretty spot on. ESPECIALLY concerning the difficulty. Every monster levels one for one along with your party with no level caps and many (most?) start above first level so they will ALWAYS be higher level than your party.
It's impressive how faithful is Mandalore's voice in game to the real thing.
Bro, Kenny’s voice is also spot on

Gotta say, I think I love the party personalities. I wish other games where you build a team came with personalities like that.
I've been playing this game for two weeks now and it has been hard to stop. I never got into this kind of games but I think the voice acting is what sold me. Also, thanks Sseth for the build. It has been most helpful. One major critique would be to not play it with headphones without lowering the sound effects volume because if an enemy casts Crush on your entire party you'll go deaf.
The voice for Ken Ashcorp is amazing holy shit
I love that the singer is the one with the most abrasive voice.
Seth: "[The game] is two decades old."
Me: "Oh wow, it was released in the 90's?"

The voice acting in this game is so good! I don't believe I've ever played a RPG with more party banter. And it all feels very spontaneous. The personality system in this game has never been surpassed IMO.
EDIT: I should clarify -> Wiz8 doesn't have long discussions between party members. They do make *a lot* of situational comments. It feels very free flow.
Is that really the game voice acting!?! I wasn't sure because but holy 💩 it's pretty damn good!
@@dsandoval9396 Certainly, party members respond to all manner of stuff, based on their personalities. They also sometimes react to each other. Sseth only customized the portraits. The sound design in Wiz8 is generally superb.

Loved your review. I've been playing Wizardry games for years (since wizardry 5), and loved the hell out of 6 and 7. I waited nearly 10 years for Wiz 8 to come out, bought it the day it released, and they really it did the game justice with their small budget. Your review nailed it perfect. Still play it to this day. I like making parties in 7 and importing to 8. Thank you for covering this stellar but maddening game!
I love Wiz 8, bought it when it came out. Completely forgot about how many enemies you fight at one time... Until I bought it again on GoG, then I realized that I suck at games now because difficulty.
I grew to like it again, although godsdamn walking into an area and instantly aggro-ing 15+ critters each time... Anyone looking to pick this game up, it's worth it, but be prepared or your liver might hate you due to all the booze you'll be ingesting just to keep your sanity and not destroy your pc.

Don't mind me, just returning to this masterpiece after nearly a year. Fun fact: at 17:00, if you listen _very_ closely, you can actually hear Sseth's heart break when he says "...and I forgot to quicksave."
He's not even harold at this point, we just call him Internet Historian.
Imagine making a bunch of stock photos for some side cash but since you're not a professional model or anything they come out awkward because keeping a smile for hours on end, turns out it's hard.

You know, I can't believe nobody ever managed to revive this series in the almost 2 decades since this game came out. Unlike Ultima and Might & Magic (pre-X) it ended on a high note (by stopping at 8 rather than the inevitably rushed and broken 9 that would have tainted its reputation like those other 2), so I just can't believe nobody ever bought the license and either remade it, rebooted it, or produced a modern sequel. Wizardry was part of the Holy Trinity of classic PC RPGs- I played the original 'Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord' on my dad's Macintosh SE when I was a child and still remember it fondly, despite it being sadistically hard as balls (I tried getting into Wizardry VI a few years back and gave it up as unplayable).

Love the Shadowrun music in the background. Those are great games
Fantastic games that really deserve more attention. I wish Sseth and Mandalore would cover them, get more exposure.
16:14 Hold on... it shows us that Mandalore has went insane... but displays Sseth going insane instead? This is a sign.
...He doesn't know...
I feel blessed to be in this timeline, just because of Sseth.
I can imagine a trillion better timelines. One of them is everyone being dead. Sseth is the one thing that keeps this from being one of the darkest timelines. When do the government lizard aliens reset the simulation? Its been like 80 years or something since the last time.
Sseth and Mr. Bean.
Where is their stream of the game?
i don't think it's possible for sseth to exist in anything but the worst possible timeline.
The best thing about this video is the Wizardry 8 lore breakdown Sseth reads at the beginning is 100% accurate!
This video has reminded me of the wonders Sir-Tech has given to us. A Jagged Alliance 2 video would be amazing!

@@iforgotmydamnname6325 russian? They sound french italian more than anything, russian have deeper accents its like italians x100
Italian Skaven.
That Total War Warhammer 2 review really hit Mandalore hard, he quit taking his meds and his alter-ego took over
I will absolutely use that build - been meaning to play forever, thank you
What a wonderful game. I have been playing my "dream party" for 4 months or so now. I have a Fighter, Rogue, Ranger, Bard, Gadgeteer, Bishop. Getting the Bishop good is the hardest part, but it's worth it.
You can be, anything you want to be.

This is the kind of comedy I came for.
There is a timestamp?

Speaking as somebody who's best friend is trans, both she and I found that shit fucking hilarious - as with the rest of the video, too! Sseth always knows how to master comedic timing and being offensive to everyone equally.

I don’t think that joke was meant to be transphobic or offensive in the slightest but... Glad you weren’t offended.
Plugged In
Wow so edgy. Good for you here’s your gold star and cookie.
The voice acting is so orgassmic and dope, holly shit i wanna play this game now. It has so so much character to it!
Benjy Huburt feels very early fallout-y
I hope that the sheer amount of Harebrained Schemes' Shadowrun games music in this video gives me hope that there'll be a review coming
This was one of my absolute favorite video games; I bought it on Steam and am playing through it now.
If Wizardry 8 is one of the finest torture devices, 1-3 are "getting ran over by a train" simulators.
And 4 is the equivalent performing of Unit 731 experiments on yourself.
@@magusofthenorth6834 true.
@@magusofthenorth6834 4 is literally about breaking out of the hell you kind of deserve.
I can't believe he got Mandalore to voice act for him, too. Wow.
Makes sense, he did it for mandalore's total war video
He only imported the face, voice lines are same.
I see the humor is subtle on this one
Al-Sedexus, the original Super Straight.
I love it, he creates a awesome story by narrating his playthrough, nonstpp pure entertainment that is pure quality.
I rewatch this wayyy too many times.
Me, somewhere on the second half of the video: "The background music sounds very familiar"
*Brain short circuits while a neuron that hasn't fired in ages sets a decrepit synapse on fire*
Ah yes, Sseth has played Shadowrun returns.
He's also played Brigador...
Which desperately needs some attention from someone with his power.
He also played and reviewed Might & Magic 9. Which has at least two of its music tracks put in.
When? Is there a video?
@@pauloaraujo5156 there is a review video on Might & Magic 9, but not on any of the other games mentioned in this comment chain.
No way, a shadowrun review? Where TF is it....
All of the voiced context sensitive dialog in this game and Bethesda is like "Yes, No, Sarcastic, Goodbye"
You can blame Emil for that, Bethesda has outright stated that a system such as this isn't worth making due to "the majority of players only beat the game once" therefore it isn't a financially sound... blah blah blah. And that was their stance when Skyrim was released, Bethesda has been shit for years, people have only started to realize it.
Turn based combat leaves some time for other stuff
@@do0myk oh yeah, bethesda sure spent a lot of time on skyrims combat combat system fcking lmao
@@do0myk like spear animations.
@@Dean..... if we peal that mask off a bit its not "people only play a game once" the subtext is "we only want them to play it once, so they go and buy another one of our games immediately afterwards"
Ah wizardry, in the first game there was a floor where if you entered through the stairs, you entered a room FULL of turntable tiles that took 20 minutes to get out. If you cast MALOR on that floor you have about a 12% chance your party ends up in stone instagibbing them and forcing a reset, and this ISN'T including the ninjas that often ambush and one hit kill your party members. Good times.
"Instagibbing them and forcing a reset"
You mean instantly inflicting them all with LOST, which means they're dead and gone. Contrasting DEAD characters who can be resurrected, or ASHES characters from a failed resurrection who can be resurrected at greater cost.
This was my biggest obstacle as a gamer. I really had to set time aside to finish this game. But man! It is an epic journey you will remember forever.
