Forums for Devil Whiskey

v2.0 was semi-stable for me.. I managed to play thru the entire game (sans mods), but encountered some crashes along the way. I then later applied 1 or 2 official patches, then the MegaMod. You may want to read thru some other posts related to this sort of thing.. but generally, I'd suggest going ah...

Welcome to the DW forums, Saintus. You should be able to speed up/down scrolling combat messages by pressing the "<" or ">" keys (where < slows down & > speeds up) .. with 'Shift' held down, methinks..? It's mentioned in the game manual near the end..just before the glossary....

Hope some time opens up soon for ye.
Let us know how adventurous things be faring for ye when ye can.

I only played the very first Wizardry--which was great fun at the time. Did you play thru all the Wiz's?

..moment when I successfully crafted my very first Perfect Long Sword. 8)

..then later crafted my first ThunderHammer! (which proceeded Not to work due to an error in 'charges')

As someone else may have pointed out in another thread, it makes a Huge difference if you're playing this mod (Defend Ren..) pre- or post- patch (patch that resulted in monsters having 100% successful Ranged attacks--regardless of your chars level, AC, etc). While a small crew of low levels (say, ar...

there was a great guy here years ago with the byline something like 1.21 gigawatts..
anyone recall his name/handle??
he knew the game well & was helpful with technical issues..

Beorn, (great name, btw 8) )
How's your DW game going?
Enjoying it? Played thru already?

Hmm... do you guys read the mod's 'readme' files?? :? Think RicksTavern (Defend Ren's mod-author) indicated yer crew should be of a certain level.. and yeah--he wrote it to block off most options--in the spirit of the mod, the clock is Ticking! :o so no time to go buy stuff or level-up.. if you do, ...

Yep, much better (if you're trying to maximize survivability + kick'n'ace) to go ahead & fill all 8 slots.. in the long run, you'll find a 3rd or even 4th magic-user most helpful. I'd suggest at least 1 Arc & at least 2 Ele's. That way, can use lots of spells due to the extra spell points..p...

I do the same thing, Chaney ;) But generally.. esp for any fighter/tank-type with at least 15 Con (HP bonuses kick in for 15 & higher), you should be getting closer to 10+ HP per level-up.. Tho think Paladin's get a bit less compared to straight/simple fighter. Also, some Races seem to get HP bo...

That's cool.. hey, does the Barb get extra attacks? Reminds me of an interesting dilemma.. is it better to use a Short sword (with an extra attack, but less damage per attk) OR a Long Sword (no extra attack, but more damage per attk) ? best I can tell, it's better to go with a Short sword early on, ...

Looks like a swell cutting crew ye gots there, Oxira!

However, I worry about gazing upon them over-long..eh.. 8)

Personally, I liked having at least 2 ele's.
Can shut down the opposition with a BLLI or duo..

Who's yer fav of yer current crew?
And who would ye lose fer a ha'penny?

Welcome, Oxira! ..hmm.. Arixo? ..Iraox? ..Xirao? (interesting name, there) Spell range issue..hmm, don't recall that issue. The manual's usually accurate..even if the game's occasionally flay-key. Numero Duo = Dismiss'd! Don't recall exactly, but seems the Elementalists may be better at crafting arm...

Hey Sseatris, Sorry to hear you're having so many issues.. If you answer these questions, it may help someone help you :) What Operating System are you running? (incl Service Pack, if any) What's your basic hardware? (motherbd, cpu, ram & esp graphics card?) I strongly rec'd backing up your Save...

Thanks, Meanwhile, for shifting the discussion over here--meant to do that. I like the idea of using mouse-over to get a quick item-stat/description.. but yeah, will probably have to go straight keybd initially, then expand to mouse support later.. sooo much to do just to get the basics in place fir...
