GameRager: Is it that one game where the mc wakes up in a dungeon and has visions of the evil baddie every so often as he fights through areas? Does it also have a dwarven area? Then I think I know the game(Not the title, though)
You're probably wrong about it because
a) I think there's just one or two visions of the Big Bad before the final confrontation, and it is all very close to the end.
b) You don't wake up in a dungeon. You start the game coming back to the place you grew up in and where you fled from when you were just a kid. The starting area's tileset is a sort of stone corridor but it doesn't take long for you to reach the sewers.
c) Yes there is a dwarven area using almost the same stone corridor tileset, but I think it's been stablished that we're not thinking of the same game.
Well,FNV has quiet a lot off dungeons (not exclusive dungeon crawler).Now the new hints and plenty of them point me in the direction of Eye of the Beholder,nah.No idea:)

This game was released by the end of 95 and it has been on Gog for a while. It probably was the first dungeon crawler we had here. Its publisher certainly was among the first to sign with GoodOldGames™.
(Just a hint: a MaGOG search could help narrow down possibilities)

The game's backstore pits nine gods against a tenth who enslaved them. You've been called by the goddess of the Earth to help release her and the other gods ¹ . Until you do it they have very limited power and are kind of confined to planet orbs the size of a football you will find around in the game, but each god will still help you when they can. Saturn's orb for example will display a small portion of the map around you including unmapped areas, so you can see if there is a secret passage or anything.

¹ That's right, your enemy is the sun, or at least an evil god who is represented by the sun.

@Tauto I heard this game was inspired by EotB, so in a sense you're kind of in the right direction. But not having played the latter I can't tell you how close they actually are, and of course it's not EotB.

Now you pretty much spelled it out.
Leaving it for someone else since I'd have no idea what to put as next quote.

Oh come on that's not fair. Please tell us I will send you mine in PM.

Agreed, but if the challenge is stuck for too long the forum game will get boring. I think I drew it out for too long, which is too bad because I expected this game would be a bit more known... and it deserves a bit more recognition, I think.

All right then, if nobody else says it, Stonekeep...

I think most could have used Goggle to cheat and they didn't which is very nice.Even with all the hints,I still didn't know and that's the way to play:)

Just needed MaGOG really. Dungeon crawler released in '95 narrowed it down to Anvil of Dawn, Stonekeep or Thunderscape. Added to catalog early on, and from one of the first publishers to sign on, and that's down to just Stonekeep. Then checked MobyGames description (since GOG one is... odd) to confirm the gods story.

And joppo did say he wanted to move things along...

I can see joppo's point, gave out that many hints except for the actual game.I would never of got it as I doubt I played the game or if I did nothing rang a bell.And on with the game.

I agree with all you guys said. And Cavalary got it right, it is Stonekeep indeed.

The phrase in question happens when you get into the fairies' realm where you need to go to retrieve one of the MacGuffins. There you meet some sort of... artist clique? made of 5 or 6 fairies who are very amusing. They will sing a song if you pay them and depending on the payment the song is different, but it is always mocking someone. One of them jokes about dwarves (and it is made hilarious by the reactions of the dwarves you have in your party by that point). Another jokes with some excentric wizard you meet early in the game. The phrase I chose however is the intro to the song that ridicules the Big Bad of the game. Edit: not the intro, it is one of their requests for payment before they sing.

You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKctWpLD55Y

Go ahead Cavalary, give us the new challenge. Or... pass the turn if you still don't have a quote? I think that'd be okay, right?

Sure, no problem if someone wants to pass it on. First come first served.

Well, let's go with this one:

"Tell me skull, how is life for you here in this tower? It doesn't seem like it would be very exciting to lie still on a shelf for thousands of years..."
"It's always exciting... Less so when some foolish explorer tries to be funny while failing in his mission... Are you this desperate, already?"
Lords of Xulima?

Tauto: Lords of Xulima?
That was fast. Yep, discussion with the skull guarding the gate in Tower of Resilience. (Damn, took me so long to figure out that name. Forgot all about the previous skull telling the order of the letters and kept trying combinations, couldn't figure out how to know till I thought to check map notes, after hours of that, and facepalmed.)
