Thanks for the heads up on DX8 Davros!
I'm still running 7 myself!
I can't believe I am actually using restraint and not installing until my work is done! It hurts LOL!

The demo looks GREAT. I was able to figure out most of the interface very quickly. Combat runs smoothly. I'm still having to use keyboard for movement (maybe that's the way it's supposed to be) but can use right-click to "look" around with mouse. The graphics are STUNNING. Man, now I can't wait for Nov 15!

Cheers,

Hi Saz - mybe you have caught up with this by now, but you don't need to use the kekboard for movement - change the default on the mouse in options. There is one there where R click sets your look rotation, and L hold is the movement. I picked that up from the Vault Network board :D .

I just DLed the demo yesterday, IT ROCKS! Woooohoooo! Can't wait till they get around to letting us europeans try out the game too!

Who was I kidding? Only myself LOL!
I broke down and installed last night.
I played for two hours and had a blast. :D
I have more work to do today but I just had to have a taste of the game.
I like it! I want more!

Hoo-rah, Moni!!! So glad you liked it!!! You too, Neb. I can't wait until Nov 15th now!

Cheers,

LOL Yes, I figured that out after the first hour or so of play, never posted back up here, though! Thanks for the tip, though...I'm sure there's others out there who will need to know that, too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

One thing I REALLY love about Wizardry 8 so far is the music, it's GREAT, I've got the "Tough Combat" sound playing right now in the background.

I am worried about whether or not I'll be allowed to get the game though. San Antonio's job market is in bad shape and the company Rex works for just layed off 10% of its work force a couple of days ago. He is the only person in the company who did not get a pay cut to boot. He is valuable to them, but if they can't keep their heads above water, he may be unemployed before Thanksgiving, which means no Wiz 8 for me until I can buy it used. :(

I love the demo too! I may not be right in here with everyone else playing it as soon as it is released, but you know, I'll eventually get my hands on it! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Will Wizardry 8 support multiplayer in any way?

I was playing the Wizardry 8 demo a short while ago, and I thought: "Wow, this game sure is
bug-free, everything functions as it should,
the monsters even have a decent AI." then,
I decided to slaughter Burz, because,
I thought he was just a bit too annoying to be allowed to live, that and I figured he ought to be worth a lot of XP, so, after a battle that I almost lost because my incompetent Pixie mage couldn't cast a spell without it backfiring I finally slaughtered Burz, then, I decided to rest and reenter the monastery to see if I had missed anything, I rested, and, guess what, CRASH, got dumped to my desktop along with an error message,
*sigh* and I thought that I had finally found a bug-free and otherwise perfect game.
