There are two reasons I couldn`t stand to play Wizardry 8. The first was the perspective. 1st person perspective for a party of six to eight? Argh! The second was the leveled, respawning monsters. Its like "I just cleared out the road from Arnika to the Monestary.. oh now wait 50 bandits just magically reappeared!". Double argh!
The first person perspective thing is kind of forgivable but I really, really hated the respawning of monsters in masses. I mean, is it too much to ask that after you hunt down every single bandit, monster, and mutant crab to clear that area that the area *stay* cleared? It wouldn`t be so bad if the *some* of the monsters returned, but every one of them returned and they were *stronger*. Argh!
To wrap things up, yes I realize this post is kind of flamish but I really just wanted to know if anyone else was annoyed by these two things like I was. Actually I haven`t played the game in a really long time (I first got it right when it hit the shelves), but I was thinking of trying it again and these two annoyances caused me not to.
