While I haven't read them myself, so I can't really vouch for them, I always heard the novelizations of Gabriel Knight 1 and 2 were good, Jane Jensen wrote them herself. And while I also haven't read it either, the original Planescape Torment novelization was awful just because it totally deviated from the game in utterly inferior ways. One big example is that Ravel and The Transcendent One aren't the main antagonists at all, Fjhull Fork Tongue is, that one minor character that appears in Baator that leads you to the Pillar of Skulls. It was so bad that some of the former dev team worked on a proper one that is now bundled with the game when you buy it on GOG. When it comes to video game adaptions of books aside from Witcher, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles are cool games. Parasite Eve 1 and 2 are also fun games and apparently better than the source material. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Aug 28, 2016 |

Forgot about Mega Ten. I also forgot to add that Harlan Ellison had a major part in I Have No Mouth's development, like helping to write it and voicing AM. I really like his take on AM, he just sounds so casual and routine most of the time, like horribly torturing his prisoners is just another day at the office, until he goes into scenery chewing insanity at the turn of a dime.

RBA Starblade posted:They were nice, light reads, if you like Elder Scrolls definitely go for it. I just couldn't help but think the entire time that the setting was really cool and interesting, but what was actually happening on it wasn't for a lot of it.
