mods for wizardry 8: do they exist?

dplax · 08-28-2003, 12:52 PM

I was just wondering whether anyone had encountered/made any mods for the game. Like you could let skills improve even if your character could'nt get them from his class, or make the savant harder, add new spells or any ideas which had been discussed here as missing from the game, or not so good in the game.

I hope not. Sorry, but it's just that such things are not necessary for this game. It is lots of fun without the tricks (some of which exist).

Please have heart. The game is difficult at first, but as your player skills improve, in terms of character development and battle tactics, it becomes much easier, even in Expert Mode (but never easy).

It is great for once to have a game where what you know about the game, and how you play it, really makes a difference.

I heartily agree with Worzelle! When I first started playing the game, I immediately looked for an editor. But now, I wouldn't use one if it were available. It's a little tough at first, but as your skills improve, you get to mold a group to your liking. If you search some of the archives, you'll probably find several 'cheats' to raise certain stats, but in general, most people play the game pretty straight. Good luck!

I heard you can replace sound files, that's about it.

The only mod I had heard of was an entire german language mod for the text and sound files, which was user made.

I dont have it handy but it exists.
