Anyone managed to run the Llygamyn Saga PC version?

AFAIK it's notoriously buggy even if you get it to run, so you'd better play the PS1 version instead.

Yes with the full English translation without any problems (Win7 64, without any compatibility setting). I just followed the instructions on the Irontower forum.

I know a lots of Wizardry experts here. Please, help me! Where I can find this Ytjebuhaw relic exactly?

Man. The cover art on the earlier Wizardries (1-5 plus the GB spin-offs) is just fucking gorgeous. There’s just something timeless and classy about it.

I'm fucking tilted. I'm in the final area of Wizardry 6 and my game crashed and my save is corrupted 20 minutes before the end of the game.

given how bad the final area is, consider it as the game doing you a favour

I got stuck on a boss in the final area of Wizardry 6. I might return to it someday.

Right lads I need some help here.

I followed this guide here to get more than one save (https://af.gog.com/forum/wizardry_series/saving_in_wizardry_6?as=1649904300), made a folder called "SAVES" and put it in the BANE folder. I start a new game and save and quit right after the intro sequence. I check the SAVES folder and it's empty. I figure something went wrong and it saved in the BANE folder. There should be a file called savegame.dbs in the BANE folder but that one is missing as well (all I have is a file called "newgame.dbs"). What did I do wrong?

Running the steam version on a mac, if it makes a difference. It comes prepackaged with boxer but the directories are the same.

 

[Humbaba]

NEVERMIND I found a readme file that stated that the save games are not in the BANE folder, they are in Library/Boxer/Gamebox States. Shit works now.

26 bonus points for my ninja faerie, very nice. Makes up for the minimum 18 I rolled for my lord. Anyway, now I can finally start the fucking game.

 

[octavius]

Alea jacta est.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Ninja Faerie!!!

GO GET EM!

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Now that game me an idea to start a party of solid faeries not just for this game but Phantasie (pixie or sprite is fine). I did beat WOTES with nothing but halflings.

Just saw & subscribed. This dude loves wiz8 it looks like.

Has anyone played Wizardry Gold? I always assumed it was an entirely cosmetic update, but reading the manual makes it sound like there were mechanical changes (presumably made without Bradley's consent). Mapping is described as a physical skill when it was academic in CotDS.

Mapping not being in competition with Mythology/Artifacts/Scribe/Diplomacy/Kirijutsu/spellcasting skills would be nice.

 

[Humbaba]

Ninja Faerie!!!

GO GET EM!

She's not too good at hiding yet but seeing as I'm apparently supposed to grind the first floor until level 3, the little rascal's got enough time to practice!

There already is Climbing and Swimming skills. Diplomacy is broken in Wiz Gold.
The character portraits are anime like.
Avoid.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Definitely need pic comparisons.

 

[Butter]

Original Wiz7 portraits look like this:

Gold portraits look like this:

It's a pretty egregious downgrade.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

No patch to put in the old gfx. I forget what gold even does.

Bought her a spear, which apparently she can use. But a club is too much to handle for her for some reason. Should do more damage than her bare hands, though her sneak attacks do deal like 10 damage but that's not gonna scale is it.

Speaking of which, is there a way to see how much damage a weapon deals? Assay tells you nothing.

Pretty sure Identify tells you the damage. At least it does in 7.

Luckily managed to wrangle my priestess into a valkyrie at level 6. I have noticed that pure casters become a bit useless in harder and prolonged encounters around this stage, which is still just the early game as I am told. Now to grind her back up in the basement.

To compensate, the mage got no skill points on his level up. Might look into turning him into a monk or something but for now he remains useful offensively.

Spoiler

It's a pretty egregious downgrade.

Even Shritis was outraged, when he took one look at that Wizardry Gold party.

 

[Humbaba]

Game's a lot easier than I expected. The only encounter I've had trouble with so far is the fat rat fight. The bard putting entire groups to sleep is very helpful but even when she isn't, lethality is modest. I don't wanna speak too soon though, just left the castle and might run into some real bastards.
