Hi,
Hope everyone had a nice holiday and it's great to be back after reading
through the 1000 odd articles <groan>.
Anyway, finally started in on Wizardry 7 and wow, I love this game,
even better than EOB but the interface isn't as good as M&MIII IMHO.
The best thing about it is the unlimited profession swapping which
I have been using like crazy because it takes AGES to get another level when
you reach level 9 onwards. And this is the subject of my letter.
Is there any reason to have a mix of professions during or at the end
of the game. I find it's great to make all your people NINJAS or MONKS,
especially with their great combat and magic skills. I occasionally switch to
other professions to get the skills so is there much point having other
professions?
A question I have about multiple attacks is ; do you find you can have
more than 4 attacks in one combat round? I'm sure my NINJA(100% Hand & Feet)
has been doing more than that.
To increase exp. the best place I've found near the start of the game
is in the forbidden zone with the card slot. I've been using the black card
to ring the alarm non-stop which summons lots of those SAVANT TROOPERS and
GUARDS. Love the acid bomb and dying to get my hands on the NUKE spell, should
be soon. I do have the w7edit but I prefer the masochistic and more fun way!
Not terribly realistic though, after slaughtering a couple hundred troopers, you'd think I would have depleted the SAVANT population on the planet! Yes,
I admit it I love hack and slaying, I'll just build up my characters before I
