Hey, look who I found :
From The History of Computer Role-Playing Games Part III: The Platinum and Modern Ages (1994-2004), a Gamasutra article from last year:
"Just to give you some idea of how intriguing the world of Black Gate can be, I'll quote a bit from Oleg Roschin's detailed review of the game on Mobygames. At one point in the game, Roschin's party met up with a unicorn, who, as legend has it, can only communicate with virgins. The first time around, Roschin's Avatar was, in fact, a virgin, and admitted as much to the unicorn, who then talked to him.On a later visit, however, the Avatar had slept with a harlot at Buccaneer's Den, and the Unicorn refused to speak with him. As usual, we see that Garriott subtlety; sure, you can do sinful things, but you won't always get away with it. Later on, Bethesda would capitalize on this high level of interactivity in its celebrated Elder Scrolls series."
Fame! :-)

LOL!
That's my curse - nobody knows Oleg Roschin, the jazz pianist, but everyone knows Oleg Roschin, the videogame reviewer :)

No worries, not everyone knows Oleg Roschin the videogame reviewer either.
But he is still more famous than Oleg the jazz pianist... People actually tell me after a concert: "Wow, great Confirmation solo man, but I kinda liked your Bioshock review more!"

Don't worry, mate. We all know you here, and in the end that's all that matters...
