W7 is better only because it is harder, IMO. Clever too, but this game has its share. Must admit W7 had some great puzzles. W6 was also hard. But to get ahead you had to fight bats and bats and bats to increase melee skills. It is hard to compare these games. All are great CRPGs and non-ADD. (Advanced dungeons and dragon rules, Wizardry has its own system)
Frustrating yes. But it still beat Wiz8 by a longshot. I loved the puzzles, I loved the monsters, I love the mapping skills and fancy names. I loved everything about it. Compared to Wizardry7, wizardry 8 is a joke IMO. And there weren't *that* many true puzzles in Wiz8. There were a few.

And it was always a relief to find a game without D&D rules/races/ etc.

Flamestryke, I know it was a joke. Mine was too, but I couldn't really figure out a way to make it like that thouhg.
