Thought I would share some intertaining moment in my time spent with Wizardry 8:- Having played through the monestary several times, to get a feel for races and classes. Moving through a corridor into a room with a tempting red button on the wall. Thinking "why don't I go over and push the bottun, BEFORE I rest?"! Can't really use the excuse "But, but...the room LOOKED empty" when you have been there before 6 or 7 times.....
- Leaving the monestary for the first time, when something comes flying through the air like a meteorite from hell. Thinking "AAAAAH, vampire demons comming to rip me apart!!!!".
Only to realise it's just an animation of a falling leaf.
- In Arnika, short on everything from hp to sp running from some local scum. Diving through a door, closing the door and thinking "I made it". Try to rest - only to be interrupted, auto-spunned around to se the door open behind you, and 6 raiders peeking in, most likely saying "I told you they went in here".
Obviously I didn't know the enemy could open doors.....
- In Trynton, after killing the Rapax with the trynnie guards, decided to heal the guards, to see if they respond diffently in gratitude. Only got a "Beware not to fall of the bough" in response. I smile, thinking "OK, nothing usefull there", and go to investigate the far corner for hidden items. Weeeeeeeeeee.....
Pretty stupid, eh? Wasn't my first time there either. Did I mention it was an Iron-man attemt ?
Lucky me, I have Vi with me, and she survives in her Valkyrie way (knocked out, with 18 hp). I think "It's gonna cost me a fortune in ressurect powders, but I made it!". Only to realise the game is paused, and on top of the screen it says: "6 plants, 4 plants, 2 plants........".
