Wizardry The Wizardry Series Thread

Isn't it amazing how 1992 sprites still look magnificent, but mid-90s 3D has aged like milk?

primitive 3D has grown on me. At least 90's games had identity and good art direction, unlike modern games. Goofy ass cartoon looking shit.

That goes without saying. Modern hardware can't fix modern devs putting out soulless junk.

However it amuses me that this PlayStation port looks so much worse than the DOS version that preceded it by 4? years. The voice acting isn't exactly doing it any favors either. Aletheides sounding like a gas station clerk...

Replaying 8 for the first time since I was a lad... so a long while ago.

Any must have mods in this day and age?

In my opinion, Wizfast is a must-have mode. It will accelerate the animations of enemy turns, which will save you dozens of hours.

If you play a Russian version of the game, you would probably want to install unofficial patch 1.26. It fixes some of the game bugs. It works only with Russian version.

I heard there is somewhere a mod/patch that gives wizardry a wide screen support.

I also heard that there is a mod that allows you to hire more than two story mercs. So, you can create a "main" character and gather other party members in the world.
