First Hint: This somewhat old RPG's arch-villain's name can also be found by spelling his mild-mannered alter-ego's name in reverse. Even your Rogue'ish little sister didn't think of that one.

You've got me completely stumped. I can't think of it at all. I know I'll feel dumb when I see it.

Yeah, it's probably from some super-obscure RPG that I'm not going to have even heard of. Bonus points if it was never released in the NA.

The answer should be Werdna (Andrew Greenberg). 😊 The Wizardry series is home to some of the best old school dungeon-crawlers of all time.

Oh dear, seems this one's a good one.

Second Hint: It's on the PC, though there were some spin-off games made of it that seem to only be on consoles, I believe. They're more action-oriented.

Third Hint: "My old Inn's as clean as an elven arse." Probably the first line you'll hear in the game, and the most memorable.

Fourth Hint: The answer is the name of the game. I didn't include any special characters in it.

Interesting, I had to look that up. Good one. 😊

Chronologically it was later than the original Wizardry trilogy, so the name idea was likely [strike]stolen[/strike] inspired by it, though NetHack does fit the RogueLike clue better. At any rate Baldurs Gate < Nethack or Wizardry so I declare shenanigans. :P

Yeah, this one was a difficult one to find some worthy hints for, if the full gamut of PC RPGs wasn't experienced first. Still, wonderful guesses, one and all. I really wish I could give the points to everyone, but that would mess things up. x X.
