@@wachtwoord5796 yeah. I contacted the Lead Designer and she told me most voice actors licensed for this specific game only... so the voices are theirs.

Try playing Wizardry 4. After beating and continuously exporting your party from Wiz 1->3. In 4 you play AGAINST the party you were developing for the past 3 games as a villain, and all the cards ever are stacked against you and the game hates your guts and wants you to kill yourself IRL.

[@JarlFrank]

@@SinaelDOverom Wizardry 4 is digital masochism. It's not even fully an RPG - you don't get combat XP, you only level up when you go to the next level. You have to rely on your summons to be your meatshield in combat. You need to be intimately familiar with Wizardry's spell effects to even escape the first chamber. And if you loiter around in the same place for too long, an instakill ghost might wander onto your tile and just kill you, no saves. Wizardry 4 is absolutely, unapologetically cruel.

[@alexandrec.m.f.3132]

Fun is a buzzword

[@zerotakis]

Personally I was sold on the Jiggle physics

[@jasonerty]

​@@JarlFrank that's not even scratching the surface either. the very first room you start in cannot as no door exists, has random encounters and tells you nothing about what to do. You can die before you figure out you need to summon monsters to help you using the symbol on the ground. After you figure that out, you realize you are trapped in the first room with no door, wandering in a circle aimlessly until you die from random encounters. Only by playing the previous titles would you realize you need to cast Milwa(light) to see invisible doors, but wait, you don't even have that spell? Turns out you need to summon the trash mob priests as one of your summons, and hope it uses light in a random encounter, and THEN you can see the door to exit the room. ALL of that just to leave room one. After which you can still just be absolutely destroyed if you picked bad mobs to summon, and then need to restart from step one. On top of that you have, instant kill crits that can end your game in the blink of an eye, the absolutely convoluted puzzles that require absurd knowledge of the first 3 games, enemies that can PERMANENTLY STEAL key items, a keypress counter that kills you if you reach a certain number of key strokes in a save file, the fact that enemy parties can just outright have the spell tiltowait(nuclear blast) and instagib your team in a random encounter, the fact that you need to remember each spell by name and type them in like an incantation to use them, and many more terrifyingly unfair things too. Wiz 4 killed the series in japan too, where it was extremely popular and still is considered influential to the game industry there, since the obtuse knowledge required combined with the poor translation went way over their heads and made the game actually impossible to complete. Though this did lead to some hilarious situations where the japanese players thought the goofy monster names and pop culture references were actually cool edgy foreign words that mean serious business, giving the whole game an entirely different feeling to the more lighthearted nature that is implied.

[@vahlok1426]

The dialogue of the party makes it feel like playing D&D with a whole group of Chaotic/Neutral & Evil characters. About the only time this seems awesome.

Two things I remember from playing it upon release: The merchants "Thank you" line upon sale was played for each sold item. Queued. So if you sold 100 items he would say it 100 times in a row. And the sound followed you, there was no running from it. And enemies spawned even when the game was paused. So when you paused and went to have lunch and came back you were surrounded by hundreds of enemies. Edit: misremembered, it was Dungeon Lords, not this game.

Loved your review. I've been playing Wizardry games for years (since wizardry 5), and loved the hell out of 6 and 7. I waited nearly 10 years for Wiz 8 to come out, bought it the day it released, and they really it did the game justice with their small budget. Your review nailed it perfect. Still play it to this day. I like making parties in 7 and importing to 8. Thank you for covering this stellar but maddening game!

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

You know, I can't believe nobody ever managed to revive this series in the almost 2 decades since this game came out. Unlike Ultima and Might & Magic (pre-X) it ended on a high note (by stopping at 8 rather than the inevitably rushed and broken 9 that would have tainted its reputation like those other 2), so I just can't believe nobody ever bought the license and either remade it, rebooted it, or produced a modern sequel. Wizardry was part of the Holy Trinity of classic PC RPGs- I played the original 'Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord' on my dad's Macintosh SE when I was a child and still remember it fondly, despite it being sadistically hard as balls (I tried getting into Wizardry VI a few years back and gave it up as unplayable). Also, I may be imagining things, but isn't that panda's face from Space Paws?

Ah wizardry, in the first game there was a floor where if you entered through the stairs, you entered a room FULL of turntable tiles that took 20 minutes to get out. If you cast MALOR on that floor you have about a 12% chance your party ends up in stone instagibbing them and forcing a reset, and this ISN'T including the ninjas that often ambush and one hit kill your party members. Good times.

[@KopperNeoman]

"Instagibbing them and forcing a reset" You mean instantly inflicting them all with LOST, which means they're dead and gone. Contrasting DEAD characters who can be resurrected, or ASHES characters from a failed resurrection who can be resurrected at greater cost.

@@mrscrump380 Gnomes, despite enthusiastically using their overwhelming monetary and media monopoly to support opening the borders of the Unified Kingdom for diversifying the demographics with ogres and orcs, are not shy in their gentrification of any and all gnome neighborhoods they populate. They are also known for funding almost every "isolated incident" of terrorism that plagues the kingdom's population. Most damning, however, is that while they openly champion diversity and the erasure of the kingdom's native population, they will use the media to slander, demonize and assassinate any human or elf that notices this pattern and repeats it openly. In fact, gnomes are the single most oppressed people that ever lived or ever will live, and we know this because they use their disproportionate and omnipresent political power to crush anyone who would say otherwise or bring attention to any of the plights of the other races, who deserve their poor treatment for their historical (and never-ending) debt towards the gnome race.
