Wait- Matt Chat was on Icewind Dale? Holy shit!

This makes me want to know what you think of Monomyth

I'm Polish, I love to playthrough the game in English. Who doesn't love some jink-jink, cutter?

We need to go back

epic.

If you put up a Patreon, I would give you money.

got into DnD from Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance. decided to play the original and it was OK. i enjoyed the characters but the combat was just awful imo. They should have stuck with turn based grid system. Once I got to BG2, i couldnt stand to play anymore when the enemy would spam cast Time Stop and you have no counterspell.... it was just tedious

I see Pix referenced in the credits, so I gotta ask: are you part of/familiar with the Dos Game Club?

I'm always late to the party but I prefer to watch with a fine bottle of whiskey :) which also explains my dumb comments but I can live with that x)

This is a great game but I could never understand the combat. Thanks for helping!

I would LOVE someone to remake this with a few modern conveniences

I doubt a gun would be a 'magic stick that kills from afar' when they use pipes as weapons.

This game deserves a remake

Too academic? We need these videos to be this academic!

One of the very best videogame retrospective uploaders on any platform. Thank you for this channel. It's one of my top favorites: along with Grim Beard, Dungeon Chill, Majuular, Hey Blondie and Michael Snow.

loved the video as always edders. good lord though that lady on the cover looks like joe camel lmao

Its funny how watching your videos I realize even though I recognize so many of these games and hit with waves of nostalgia.... I never beat any of them LOL. Aside from Ultima Underworld 1, Myst or Return to Zork, I don't think I finished any PC games in the 90s. Also I could care less about Worlds of Ultima; I wasn't interested at the time and not really interested now but your deep dive research always entertains and educates and provides so much insight that I wouldn't have been privy to otherwise! Great video, great channel, can't wait for the next one.

That Crossly fellow sounds unbearably pretentious.

Thoroughly enjoyable, as always.

Had to watch it in several segements over those days the amount of information, research, references is mind-boggling. Hard to say if in a good or bad way, because at times you speak like monotonous lecturer so my mind starts to doze off. Perhaps you need a little bit more mind breaks (usually jokes) for viewer like "Hm..." at 3:52:52.

i loved the savage empire and I'm so STOKED for this one

At 1 hour 58 you mention the graphic demands left little space for 'oral' feedback (rather than audio)... must have missed that one in editing.

We should grab all of your videos and upload them on the Internet Archive. This is a historical stuff right there. Good job!

You are the best

The best thing about this channel is correct use of "quote/unquote". Well.. maybe not the best thing about it but surely close to it!

What a fascinating experiment this game was. What an extremely well researched and presented analysis. Cheers.

Whenever you upload I know I will get at least a week of awesome stuff to fall asleep to keep up the good work man

In our hour of greatest need you return to us!

May the algorithm Gods bless this video

Hey MrEdders! I love your videos! Long form stuff is great. I'm working on a project to get content like yours on TV. Do you have a contact email for business stuff like that? I'd love to reach out. Thank you so much! NL

You blessed us again.

HES BACK!

I can understand why you might find The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to be fairly contrived, though I'd argue that the implausibility of the setting is intentional. If you think of it as a parody of series like Justice League of America that essentially frames the characters as the antecedents of modern superheroes it may be a bit easier to accept the contrivances, assuming that you're not already approaching it through that lens. That being said, it does carry a lot of the problematic aspects of literature from the period so it's up to you if you feel like it's justified as satire or if it's a deal breaker. Obviously, it's okay if you just don't enjoy it as a matter of taste.

As always; thorough, and excellent!

I say this with nothing but love since you make the best long videos about obscure games but this one was a bit meandering even by your standards. Still watched it twice.

Another fine video comes to a close. For the most part I agree that Savage Empire leans more toward my interests of the two. That said, I'd much rather this game existed than not, it's a gem in its own right, for the right person, my personal preferences aside. My preferences most certainly don't discount 1800s attempts at science fiction either, it's more the follow through I find issue with than the concept. On subject of it's point and click fused with RPG elements, I'm reminded of the Quest for Glory series. For that matter Heroine's Quest, Quest for Infamy, and even Mage's initiation that have inspiration in QfG. I view that lot as well done fusions of RPG and point and click adventure. I won't insult King's Quest, or others, but QfG always managed to ground it's puzzles better, for my money, in things your character could do, be it spells or skills, or even stat checks, if not item requirements as is more typical fare. So I just do t have the venom for the fusion that some have, in dome ways I view it no different than other additions like crafting, gathering, farming, building, keep management, romances, buying up property, starting a family, or kingdom management, among other additions, that we have seen RPGs add over the years. Babbling aside, thanks for another lovely video, most certainly worth the wait.

I was wondering if you quit. Thankfully not!

Glad to have you back

The ironic self-deprecation at 1:36:33 gave me a hearty laugh. It's a cruel criticism but this game just makes me wish someone else took a crack at the concept. The story of the alien civilization and how it interacted with the human expeditions is pretty cool. A less obtuse take, less obsessed with cramming in as many historical celebrities as possible, and more focused on a satisfying gameplay loop would be nice.

We're so back

Finally finished this. If this was made even more academic as revenge, I must say I've enjoyed it easily as much as your look into Empire. Though I will admit to getting lost to some degree around 5.2D to 5.2N because of the breadth of different aspects you had to talk about. Bonus points for using "Warren Spector" and "historical waifu" in one sentence lol. Thanks for the video!

After watching your Savage Empires episode, I actually kind of wanted to play it and thought the game seemed cool... I uh, don't want to play Martian Dreams. :p Also, all the disparate historical figures all just happening to be on Mars comes across as really contrived and cartoonish to me. Feels straight out of a Saturday morning children's cartoon.

By the time we got to U6, I would argue that the series was already mostly an adventure game, as the role play elements had already been so reduced as to be pointless. The stats and classes and all that was just an afterthought.

Yes.

Thank you for doing these, always brings a smile to my face when I see an Edders update ❤ 💪 Loved this game when I was younger, my friends always looked at me like a maniac when I described the plot 😂

Never clicked a video this fast

Thankful for yet another excellent video

always great to binge on one of your videos would love to see a command and conquer vid

3:02:52 The Five are Abazigal, Balthazar, Illasera, Sendai, and Yaga-Shura. Gromnir is not one of them.
