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]

Thanks Sazerac!
Well I will turn of that blasted auto pan.. Urrk Hehe

Well, I tried that little walk thing, and well, perhaps if I find that file you mentioned I might get the thing to work.. Did I mention that Iīm already stuck?? Hehe. Well I think that this game is alot like the old "Bards tale" and I have so far not been to interested in such games, but since I felt that this might actually have something worthwhile to offer I will give it a couple of more tries!

Thanks for the info man! [img]smile.gif[/img] I have yet to try out the Star wars RTS demo as well, and make some fine tuning for an adventure for the france trip.. Hmm, giant crabs?? Hehe! [img]smile.gif[/img]
