Black and White were fantastic.
Also many decades ago now. He went on to make massive promises for the Fable series - and while I enjoyed them, they absolutely did not meet what he had described. Hence his reputation these days of over promising and under delivering
He definitely got worse over time. It's sad, really. Despite always exaggerating and overpromising he still used to reliably put out good, fun games. I remember Bullfrog used to be a venerable company, the first Fable was a solid game (despite not being what he promised it would be) and Dungeon Keeper was a classic. And yeah, Black & White were great.
Stumbled upon this: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/09/black-white-2001-open-source-game-engine-sees-a-first-release/
Good timing for revisiting this classic.
