Ramedes i was trying to remember what i played when i was 7, thought it was a M&M game, then found Wizardry 8 in a box! im so happy i found the game.. couldn't get past the first 5 minutes or so, but ima replay it all
Soloed this game with 3 characters: faerie bishop, rawulf bard/gadgeteer and lizardman fighter; but all characters had 1 level of thief to get 100 stealth :) . Good times!
I've managed to finish the whole game with one char as well. Started as monk to get stealth to 100. On lvl 2 switched to bishop and after learning all the spells and maxing magic skills I've turned into fighter. This way i had almost all spells in the game, a LOT of armor (almost unhitable) and resists and quite nice dmg with weapons too. Was kinda annoying to max the skills but it was worth it in the end :D
Hmm, thanks for your notice. I haven't noticed that before. Sometimes i was thinking that when i cast "superman" after "haste" , I'm not much stronger. :)
Can you tell me what the Senses and Piety stats are for? Is Piety maybe like Wisdom in D&D games where it gives access to higher priest spells and strengthens them, the equivalent to intelligence for mages? But I have no idea what "Senses" might influence. Thanks.
@cronerator So if you do not kill him before, your only character actually gets kidnapped? Wow, that's weird.... O.o Anyway, Wizardy 8 is a great game ;)
Zúzzad! Nekem tetszett a solo rouge is, már az elejétől Bloodlust+Thiefs Dagger-el elég durva, utána Lightsworddal nyomattam tovább, legviccesebb a soloplayben mikor elrabolnak egy partytagot XD
@cronerator Hm, I guess you cannot prevent the kidnapping, unless you kill Crock before you take the idol :P Or he would still kidnap you as a ghost xD So the kidnapping does not occur when you play with only one character?
Interesting, I have played around 10 parties and got very far with them, I have never had less than 6 guys in ym party. I think I might go solo but can I ask you one question? Say you have a aprty of 6 with that character included in it, will it get the same exp in a party as going solo? Like if you were solo would you still only get the exp you would get from being in a party? if you don't understand what I mean please say:)
@bbenjoe Elsőre az intelligenciát raktam ki, majd a dexterity-t és utoljára a speedet, közben értelemszerűen minden képességet a lehető legnagyobb szintre felfarmolni.
@trajektoria If i hadn't played trough the game before I wouldn't have known that Crock is behind the kidnapping. So what is the solution to prevent the kidnapping? :)
Thanks for this! I've been looking for this game since I was about 12 (when I played it, and promptly forgot what it was called.) I am right in believing that I'll obtain a dragon character at some point and fly, yes? Is that Might and Magic 6? It totally is. What the fuck did I just buy? (gog.com)
@trajektoria I killed Crock so there was nobody to kidnap me.:) (or an another option, you get a NPC like Vidomina or the android or anyone else and let him/her kidnapped.)
Hey, I was always curious. What happens when you play with a single character and you take the idol in the Marten's Bluff? Because when you play with a party, one of your characters is kidnapped. And it would be weird if your only character disappers :P
I hope for remake or Wiz 9 one day.......i remember Wiz 8 more than M&M series, dont know why.
I hope for it too but there's not so much chance :(
***** Mby one day =) I also dont believed for Baldurs Gate remake, and wohoo, Enchanted Editions are here. We can still hope.

you can have a ninja or samurai in your party in this game? ok now I gotta play it...
this is nice, i did the same a couple of years ago, but got bored with it around the rapax castle. not too much of a challenge after you get the CoC.

oh, the nostalgia
"ninja"... 14 lvls of ninja, 18 of bishop...
Under both superman and haste your speed went to 1 because of integer overflow.
Epic
On the kidnapping, all i did was get two npc's to kill brekek for me when my ninja was kidnapped. lol

Wizardry 8 is supposed to be pretty good. I am waiting for a game company to pick this sucker up and re-release it for the consoles.
My friend, this is what every powergamer dreams of but will never achieve. Congratulations.
Impressive to see. You have any info site regarding how you started, the build etc?
Zúzzad! Nekem tetszett a solo rouge is, már az elejétől Bloodlust+Thiefs Dagger-el elég durva, utána Lightsworddal nyomattam tovább, legviccesebb a soloplayben mikor elrabolnak egy partytagot XD
Ha nem sokadik végigjátszásom lett volna én is néztem volna egy nagyot :D Lehet nekiállok egy újabb menetnek valami extrém partival :)
Yeah, that´s an other possible way without the Cane of Corpus, but maxing the spells and skills are the same long way :) . Patience is the key.
It's impossible. U must use W8 Editor but in normal solo game we lose when we must give martin statuette
Thanks for the info John Anon.
@HugoLuman
Thanks. I'm really proud of it. It was fun.
DAMMIT BELA!! Get back here!!!
be for you do that you can go to antone to get armor
not just him...
@bbenjoe Of course it isn't. Read the title, it's wizardry 8.
@icaricarus
If u read back in the comments below u'll find two solutions for this "statuette problem". Thank you:)
Yes, that's a game over. Lucky that there are other options.
OMG
There is a fix where you replace a patched opengl dll to remove the black gridlines. Search for srDD_OpenGL.dll
@cronerator Hm, I guess you cannot prevent the kidnapping, unless you kill Crock before you take the idol :P Or he would still kidnap you as a ghost xD

@brunoalex95
I didn't use any trainer. If you want, you can have my save game file.

you can buy it with steam

senses 50 is very low for ninja
You do a lot of running away from enemies with a playthrough like this I take it?

@bbenjoe
Igazából a Cane of Corpus megszerzése után lett "könnyebb" a haladás, de a randomfaktor azért sokszor közrejátszik.
Really good one! I should install the game and try this character too. Cane of Corpus is the best! Where did you get it - from Don?
@trajektoria u mean martins's bluff?
@HugoLuman
No, he didn't. You can see at 7:00 that he flees for his life:).
Does it really go straight to gameover if crock kidnaps you on solo?
The unofficial 1.26 patch fixes that, by the way.
@bbenjoe
Lvl7-en átmentem bishopra, de addigra már felhúztam a stealth skill-t 98asra, segit h ne találjanak el.
@bbenjoe
Staff of Doomot használtam, amig elég erős nem lettem Don Barlone-hoz.
tell me how you do that
Did Bela die?
whats the level of difficulty?
1230+ kills is so low for 31 lvl (-_- )
........... STOP CLICKING !!
