Bad things.

I need to get used to it plain and simple.
- Why canīt my party move in combat?? Or how do I do it..
- That mouselook thing, is a control from hell!
- No more autopan.. urrrk... I donīt feel so well
..........
All in all, I liked it, but the carsickness sympthoms and the dizzy feelings, and some small things that might be due to a demo, and me not knowing, this can indeed turn out a cool game.
P:S Why does my bard speak with a french accent?? D.S
Dear Wolfgir,
Glad you tried the demo. Having the manual will help greatly, like with the interface buttons, et al. Actually, I think there's a manual .doc file in the game folder; should be in something like C:\Program Files\Sir-Tech Canada\Wizardry 8 Demo\ or something like that.
Can't help you with the car-sickness thing...something you have to kind of get used to. Best thing to do is keep your view as steady as possible when moving around, and only "look around" when stationary. Move by holding down both the mouse buttons, and look around by holding down only the right one.
To move during combat, there's a little icon near the bottom right of the screen for the "walk" option, and you can choose either to walk or run. Of course, the monsters get a "shot" in on you, but hopefully that won't be too bad.
If you go into your options screen, you can turn off Autopan...click the gear button at the bottom left of the screen and then click on "Graphic options"...find the one that lets you turn off autopan.
The voices are customizable when you get the full version; other than that, they use the default voices for each class/race. Rangers have a default voice that's a REALLY bad French accent. However, in the full game, you can choose voices from nine different personalities: Aggressive, Chaotic (which I LOVE), Friendly, Intellectual, Cunning, Laid-Back, Burly, Eccentric, or Loner. There are four voices available under each one, two for male and two for female.
Hope this helps clear up a little bit of the confusion. [img]smile.gif[/img]
