Oh, just because.... Daggerfall had uncensored tits. Diablo had jiggly succubi.
TITS WERE A HUGE THING BACK THEN!

As octavius already said, portraits are changed. It has several annoying bugs as well. Constantly displayed map is nice, though.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.
Check this thread.

I played it quite a bit when I was younger. There were a few bugs (diplomacy has already been mentioned - for me, the most annoying one was the text zooming across at the speed of light) but it had some positives. I quite liked the voices - the narrator was a bit cheesy, sure, but overall the voices enhanced the experience in my opinion. And I remember the music (for the title sequence and potentially the inventory screen) was better.

Wait until you play D.W. Bradley's Wizards and Warriors.
6 is a wrap. Doesn't really hold up. Impossible to beat without a walkthrough within any reasonable timeframe. The mines might as well be replaced with a flashing fullscreen message reading
!!!BUY THE STRATEGY GUIDE ASSHOLE!!!
Don't know either how anybody was supposed to figure out how to get the diamond ring without looking it up. Or that Bela is hiding behind a secret wall. Having multiple different endings that affect your import into 7 is very cool though.
Just started Wiz7, looks and sounds a lot nicer at any rate. Combat is basically the same from what I can tell. Can't make a proper judgement on difficulty yet, because Bela dumped my guys right in the forest and that particular start is allegedly supposed to be disproportionately hard (which it kinda is, fuck those moths). Let's see how it goes.

Beat mines several times, just draw your own map. You have a compass after all, use it.

Hmmm yes. Gotta map. It's an obsession for old timers.
No need, there's maps online.

They are today, but they not were when I played Wiz6 first time without any manuals and guides.
So you really don't need a guide.They are today, but they not were when I played Wiz6 first time without any manuals and guides.
I know you don't absolutely need one but thankfully we have evolved as a species.

strategy guides & tiplines were the DLC of that era
devs made lots of money off that shit which caused them to create games that encouraged this behavior

Yes, which is precisely why I refuse to engage with that bullshit. I always read guides/look up maps etc. for any DOS era game I play.

Ooohhhh.... looks like time to turn that into a GOG AD.
7 is open world, what a twist!
A lot less obtuse bullshit in this one. This time around, the game actually gives you hints.
Combat is still as swingy as ever, whoever disables the enemy into the ground first wins (provided there's spellcasters involved). In acknowledgement of this fact, the devs made it an in-combat option to quit the game and savescum
. Good thing I imported all that end game weaponry from 6. Made grinding savant troopers a lot easier.
