Wizardry 8 Funny/Strange Moments

[MaskedFrog]

I have to say the funniest moment was when I was wandering around Trynton and the spiders and Trynnies were walking together and not attacking each other. As soon as the spiders got close enought to my party and battle started the Trynnie realized who they were walking with and promptly beat them up.

So much for peaceful co-existence! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I've noticed the same thing too, esp. when wandering around with Chameleon on. It helps being able to ambush a monster group, though!

Taking a break from catching up on schoolwork today I (of course) played my game.
We were in the swamp and that pack of Diremares we've been running from forever cornered us.
"Not a problem" I think, "I have a canned elemental that can take them out!"
Pop open the can, out comes a major Fire Elemental...
"Diremare rears and 1 becomes frightened"
...next round, my Fire Elemental runs away leaving us to face the horde alone!

This happened just a bit ago. I had to go do some RL stuff, and thought I hit the pause key, but didn't. So I'm talking on the phone with someone, and my bard pipes up "Hey, I do requests, you know" nd starts to hum. Gotta love all the little details in this game!

I must be cruel, but if a fight is really hopeless, I let it go on until there's one person left. Usually they say something that is really funny right before they die or if they are the only one left. Unfortunately I can't remember anything right now.

I think that "Your party has been crushed" by random things is a bug...

For example, in my game (there's a spoiler warning at the beginning of the thread right?), in the room where the T'Rang are "produced" (next to the teleporter that takes ya to the locked inn at the Arnika-Tynton road), there's no passage out, so ya have to wait for a T'Rang to be produced and come through the door. Well, as soon as the door opened, I raced through, to see a white screen and that I had been crushed. (By what? The door? It wasn't even near closing since the T'Rang hadn't even passed through it yet! LOL!)

Then it happened in my wife's game. You know how the cart for the mines - one of them has a board on it? I had her click on it (for kicks), and in my game, it fell to the ground - however, in her game, she was greeted by the "You have been crushed!" LOL! Were her characters the size of ants when the board fell over or something? [img]smile.gif[/img]

It could have been that you slid in the goo on the floor while waiting for the door to open and the result was getting crushed as you slid into it...happened to my party once although if the door had opened and you were stepping through, maybethe game had decided you had slid close enough to be at crushing point already?

I haven't tried the mine cart thing yet LOL.
There are some things you just shouldn't mess with I guess. [img]smile.gif[/img]
