Fate and Knightmare ...I love these last few posts!<br /><br />Fate and Knightmare were two games that I really wanted to play on Amiga back in the day, and dismissed quickly, in recent years, because I could not get into their gameplay early on. (Same happened with Captive, now I get why, seeing how Knightmare shares its devs).<br /><br />Fate simply amazes me. Your playthrough is displaying a complex and fascinating game I never imagine, beyond the lush graphics (of the era).<br /><br />And I wonder how in the world the developers back then could design and manage such complexity of story and mechanics, (the quest where you must keep a character pure to access an area, or the time based quests, the advancement system are exemplar) in a time when the various githubs and task management platforms didn't even exist. <br /><br />Just the graphic assets: with this many different things required, you have to plan carefully what you need and schedule accordingly. In the early nineties.<br /><br />I understand it's not rocket science, still, it's just amzing to me.<br /><br />So Chet, thank you very much for this!marcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224993551761606152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-90842692075576733072016-11-14T23:50:04.486-05:002016-11-14T23:50:04.486-05:00And thus Fate could have sold in territories where...And thus Fate could have sold in territories where people don't give a rip about the Amiga.

Big difference is that the main quest can be done much faster and a lot of content is optional whereas here it seems to be a huge main quest.
