Jimmy, thank you very much for this, and your continued work on RPG-related games. :) I added a little bit to the article from each of the archive links you posted above (not from the online print archive though), even the ones you posted (gulp) 7 years ago... better late than never. :) BOZ (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey BOZ! Thank you for adding it to the article. I've got plans to expand the reception sections for several more RPG pages in the near future—there's a lot of material out there, luckily. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 21:17, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sweeeet. :) BOZ (talk) 21:26, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In Intro[edit]

Says "Nameless One, is an immortal man who forgets everything if killed." I would recommend changing it to something more like: "occasionally forgets everything when temporarily killed." Clearly there are long stretches in the Nameless Ones history -- including the portion of his life covered by the game sequence itself -- where his memory is contiguous across multiple deaths. It is only the occasional temporary death that seems to result in amnesia and thus usually the start of a whole new chapter of his life, such as the start of the game itself. Additionally it is worth pointing out that these are temporary deaths. As the game reveals his immortality can be absolved after which he can die completely and permanently; the deaths being referenced are just the temporary ones that punctuate his current state and occasionally result in amnesia.162.220.42.222 (talk) 01:09, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
