Wizardry 6: Switching Dwarf Fighter to Lord
Well, I pulled the trigger on the first class change in the latest party in moving from Fighter to Lord. While my Fighter was doing reasonably well, the level 9-10 experience wall hurts during the mid-game for a basic class especially one like a plain Fighter. Already, his Sword skill was maxed out and I…

Wizardry 6: And Yet Another Starting Party
I’ll admit it. I have a huge issue when it comes to alts and starting parties. I love theorycrafting parties, trying them out and tweaking things until I’m happy. Well, it happened again and I may have come up with a reasonably satisfying party. However, I did a few “tweaks” to deal with the frustration…

Wizardry 6: Character Classes Contemplation
Earlier, I complained about the Ranger class. I’ve read a few posts where people felt the class was lacking. Now, that I’ve experienced it as a starting class, I really started to do a deep dive on why this class is flawed, how it could be fixed and where it potentially could work. Along those…

Wizardry 6: The Adventure Continues (with the New Party)
Perhaps, I managed to stumble upon a winning combo that has kept my interest going in my latest Wizardry 6 play through. That combo is the party that I have created from the previous blog post where I’ve managed to make it work and feel reasonably satisfied with the results. Is it perfect? By no…

Wizardry 6: Update On Revised Party
Naturally, being me denotes that without a doubt once an idea gets in my head, I’m probably going to see it through until I get demotivated. In this case, the idea was using a better version of the party I had in mind since the last one worked fine but needed more tuning. I think…

After writing a previous post, I began thinking about how a true optimal starting party would play out. Because my current party started to drag with the level grinding, I decided to give a few parties a shot to see which one felt better at the start of the game. Unfortunately, the first party ended…

Wizardry 6: The Best Starting Party Discussion
As I’m starting to think about class/profession change at the mid/end game point, I also began wondering whether or not the party I came up with was the best one for the job. When I first played Wizardry 6, I had another party that did not fair well and I didn’t realize (at that time)…

Wizardry 6: Changing Professions Discussion
My previous blog explored some thought experiments on the direction I wanted to take my party. After growing frustrated at the little zone that leads to the Enchanted Forest in the basement, I ended up making some modifications to my party to help give myself a little boost. Without actually increasing my XP, I mostly…

Wizardry 6: Getting BaneEdit.exe to Work on A Mac Using the Wine Emulator
I had some frustrations with Wizardry 6 in terms of low scores for my characters and just losing patience in some of the bullshit built into the game. As a result, I poured through various forums trying to find a decent trainer/editor to give me a little boost so I wouldn’t go crazy (and for…

No Wizardry 6 At the Moment in Lieu of Diablo 4 Season 7
As I mentioned, I ended up spending most of yesterday playing Diablo 4 in checking out the new Season 7. Since I played on the PTR, my enthusiasm probably wasn’t as high as previous seasons but I wanted to at least give the Season 7 a start and see how far I could progress. I…
