  • Wizardry 6: Revised Optimal Starting Party Experiment

    After writing a previous post, I began thinking about how a true optimal starting party would play out. Because my current party started to drag with the level grinding, I decided to give a few parties a shot to see which one felt better at the start of the game. Unfortunately, the first party ended…

  • Wizardry 6: The Best Starting Party Discussion

    As I’m starting to think about class/profession change at the mid/end game point, I also began wondering whether or not the party I came up with was the best one for the job. When I first played Wizardry 6, I had another party that did not fair well and I didn’t realize (at that time)…

  • Wizardry 6: Changing Professions Discussion

    My previous blog explored some thought experiments on the direction I wanted to take my party. After growing frustrated at the little zone that leads to the Enchanted Forest in the basement, I ended up making some modifications to my party to help give myself a little boost. Without actually increasing my XP, I mostly…

  • Wizardry 6: Getting BaneEdit.exe to Work on A Mac Using the Wine Emulator

    I had some frustrations with Wizardry 6 in terms of low scores for my characters and just losing patience in some of the bullshit built into the game. As a result, I poured through various forums trying to find a decent trainer/editor to give me a little boost so I wouldn’t go crazy (and for…

  • No Wizardry 6 At the Moment in Lieu of Diablo 4 Season 7

    As I mentioned, I ended up spending most of yesterday playing Diablo 4 in checking out the new Season 7. Since I played on the PTR, my enthusiasm probably wasn’t as high as previous seasons but I wanted to at least give the Season 7 a start and see how far I could progress. I…

  • Wizardry 6: Done With Dwarf Mines

    Made some small progress prior to tomorrow’s Diablo 4 Season 7 launch on Wizardry 6. The big thing was getting through the bulk of the Mines under the Mountain area. I believe I managed to grab the bulk of the items (I could be missing the Miner’s Pick but I need to double check) and…

  • Wizardry 6 Progress: On the Mountain Near Dwarf Mines

    Well, I managed to get passed a variety of issues that drove me nuts to no end. Right now, most of my characters are heading towards level 7, except my Valkyrie who already achieved that level, and am experiencing what I call the mid-level blues of RPGs. With that in mind, I managed to do…

  • GoG: Discounts Galore and Now Back to Wizardry 6

    It seems as though game season is back on the menu. Next week, we’ll be seeing Diablo 4’s Season 7 (January 21st at 10am PST) as well as Diablo 3’s Season 34 on Jan 24th (Friday 5pm PST). While I am looking forward to Diablo 4’s Season 7, I probably won’t be doing Diablo 3’s…

  • Baldur’s Gate 2: Experiment with Jaheira as A Barbarian/Druid

    Something I wanted to try after hearing that it was a possibility was a Barbarian multi-class. The Baldur’s Gate series handles Barbarians in a bizarre manner where they’re technically a class Kit but somehow they’re also treated almost like a separate class. Because of this dichotomy, I never thought about the possibility of trying a…

  • Masters of Orion 2 on the Mac

    After playing the Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR for a few days, I already got bored and watched the new Path of Exile 2 launch. While I am intrigued in terms of being a casual viewer, I don’t feel that game is for me. So as I loaded up Gog.com on my Mac side of…
