Well, where to start. To the person that I borrowed this game from *smooch*...you are a doll. I will now be being my own game, as I am addicted to it...MAJOR!! I figured that by borrowing this game, that I could see if it would indeed run on my computer (hate to spend 50 dollars for nothing), and it does perfect.It took 20 minutes to load the game on my computer and I be darned if I can figure out why. Heck...PSP 7 is about that size and it loaded quick. Spent two hours rolling characters and figuring how to get stuff on them...eeeekkk NEKKED people. I had my party and we went to the other gate and died most horrendously in about 5 minutes.
Was going to re-roll the characters, when I saw that the Armoury has limited supplies of things. Bummer!! So I cheated a little...I rolled up 10 characters...gave the gold to a few and resurrected my characters. Ahh...I see the Wiz gold maker works in this world too, which was good because I died 3 more times. Darnit...this is a challenge that I like.
Now I get to find out the bugs...and I may have an answer to all about the "software rendering" mode. When Direct X7 came out, it was buggier than anything. I have Direct X7a which they had fixed previous problems...so I ran the game normally without problems. But this does bring up a question...
When Wizardry 8 comes out, will I then have a problem...because my computer is not the fastest anymore...it is obsolete, will I have to buy a new system to handle the new requirements? After all, the game "Alice" says that my computer is the basics and it recommends just a little more than mine can give.
