Hi! I'm new to the forums and fairly new to Wizardry 8,
although I started long ago with Wizardry 1 on the NES,
which I beat with a party of two Gnome Ninjas (one half cleric and one half mage).Since the release of the portrait editor, I expected to see a large collection of portraits. Did I miss them, or is Samurai Jack the only one ever released?
Being a huge fan of customization in all games, I made my first custom portrait of Batman with speech animations. My idea was not only for a portrait, but for additional fun being able to fit a character foreign to Wizardry 8 into the game. Batman is a great candidate as he easily falls into the "male human ninja/gadgeteer" category and can be played using only hands and feet for close range and throwing weapons for long range, like the real Batman.
You can download the zip file from Nepteus's Wizardry 8 Stuff. I just made the website today just to make the portrait available.
Please let me know what you think!
Ideally, I would like to be able to edit the sound files as well to use actual Batman sound clips, but playing as Batman is fun anyway. I am playing him solo now and between my 40 hour/week job and 8 hour/weekend job and having lots of fun.
In the future, I would like to release an extensive portrait pack of characters foreign to Wizardry 8 that can role played the same way Batman can.
