On PC Lands of Lore 2 was on 4 discs, about at the same time (1997).
It was a big game, but of course lots of video and fully voice acted dialogue mostly explained the need for all those.
Most of the human/human-shaped characters were actors in FMW, often directly green-screened over the 3D environment. It was quite a surprise, I had never seen live action FMV used in a “real” game that’s not some sort of point and click.
I really miss live action scenes in video games. Wing Commander, Command & Conquer, Myst, Crusader: No Remorse, etc. The production value on some of these games, even the random as fuck ones that nobody really played was pretty good. It would be better today with UHD resolution for the videos and not the grainy shit we had in the 90’s.
