Wizardry 7: the Dark Savant (the Big DOS Battles Tour)

[Persy54]

so I didn't have to roll toons for 3 hours to get certain classes to start. Though strangely I didn't grab a fairy ninja, can't remember why. but I'm going to go look for that disk I have, if anyone needs a copy, msg me, I'll throw it on a torrent site or something for ya (happy I just remembered where my box of CD's are)

[Persy54]

As far as the stats like that, WizGold allows you at the character edit screen to basiclly max things you want. Not saying he did or didn't since I can't find my disk, and really don't care if he did. Sadly I myself remember when i did get the disk, I used it to create certain charactes, while I could easily max everything, i just did it to the point I could level once and retrain to the class i wanted. I over did it the first time and it ruined the first part of the game, so i just did it

I see you have the sound effects working. Are you playing in Dosbox, I saw one of your tag is dosbox. I have a CD, and run under Dosbox fine, but the sound effects does not work properly. It's just a mess. The music is OK, not the sound effects. How did you manage to get it to work in Dosbox?

Thanks.

[Feiwill]

@LJonathan Hi! Yeah, it's dosbox. I never had any trouble, so I can't give a direct hint. As a rule of thumb, try (if possible) updating your sound card drivers and dosbox. Also, try toying around with dosbox configuration: I used rate=22050, blocksize=2048, prebuffer=10 in [mixer] and sbtype=sb16, sbbase=220, irq=7, dma=1, hdma=5, sbmixer=true in [sblaster]. I had [speaker] on, but [gus] off completely. If sblaster emulation fails for you, try switching to [gus], I think Wizardry supports it.

[Feiwill]

@LJonathan Oh, and of course, don't forget to adjust Wizardry's configuration accordingly.

[LJonathan]

@Feiwill Thanks a lot! I used your dosbox settings and then changed the effect configuration from soundblaster to pc speaker and now it works very well.

Holy cow, the memories...I recall that I played that game so much by the time I got to the final battle my characters could Mind Flay one shot kill just about anything in the game. I think I remember fighting the giants most. They'd always say stuff about you being squishy food and whatnot...nostalgic sigh.

[HeadRage]

I had to get the patch, and use a hex editor, after all that I still had to use MoSlo and I got everything to work...although some of the text still went by pretty fast.

This game is enormous...which I think is a bit funny compared to the games nowadays. They might be pretty but Wizardry is a classic.

[jwplater]

this video reminds me why i stopped playing. a few of my players stats were all at 99 and i couldn't raise them and couldn't leave or exit the level up screen. did you get a patch or something? man i want to play this again

[Feiwill]

@jwplater I do recall some patching, yeah...

[vid512]

I kinda "cheated" the game by making party of only two. Beginning was harsh, but after about 1/3 of game, all fights became matter of holding down Enter.

I remember when I first met that yellow robot in Helazoid city, got so much experience I thought "hope there will be more of 'em", but immediately after the game said something like "We hope there won't any more of those" :)

[JustCallMeDan]

I played this game 3 times in my life, with a distance of 6 years each time, and still i havent finished it. I guess its about time for the 4th one but this time with a walk through :D

[Feiwill]

@JustCallMeDan Go for it man! Definitely!

[RenaissanceElf]

I had a copy of this game and lost it.

[SkInHoUnD]

epic game

[wroobelmarcin9]

Ech.... Z 20 razy przeszedłem Wiz. Tu jak widzę ninja dzierży Cane of Corpus. Nigdy uczciwie tego nie zdobyłem. Nie dałem rady Barleone. Pozdrawiam miłośników. Wypatrujmy 9 części !!!

[smokeyvv]

I love old classic dungeon crawling RPGs. I need to take the time to play through a few...like old times :)

[TharonMortis]

Glorious.

[malignantpoodle]

You sir, are the epitome of awesome.

[livetv777]

why would you leave insults on my page and then block me?

[malignantpoodle]

You were blocked for censoring your channel while spewing hatemail on multiple sock puppet accounts, as described in the message sent to you. The fact that you follow people around and post about it on unrelated threads shows what a disrespectful asshat you are to all.

[DrTorte]

I totally love Wizardry 7 (and 8). It's taken me years and years of playing and I have NEVER got anywhere - the game is absolutley massive and feels never ending, not to mention massively difficult.

And now I need to play it again. AHHH!!!

[Feiwill]

I promise, by the time you'll be finishing this game, your brain and limbs will be experiencing a completely unknown and unsurpassingly extatic kind of emotional condition.

[petrik]

yay i can see a faerie ninja with the cane of corpus! :P

[EseHolmes77]

I failed my first year at Waterloo partly due to this game (and NHL95 on Sega). Spent soooo many hours on it. I did eventually finish it, but the hours! Think my party was level 45-ish? Also something about a rubber bear item that I never did figure was for.

[Feiwill]

I think the Rubber Bear had some use in Munkharama. In a later stage of it. I've got it mentally associated with some difficult swimming and a chest. I think it earned you some attribute-boosting item or something like that.

[boilerplate]

Egads man. Ramen introduced me to your channel here and I darn near died. Holy mother...

Do you know how long I've tried to beat Wiz7? Wiz8 I beat twice and THAT was rough, but Wiz7 is the kind of game that humbles me. I'm restarting it (Recently posted a vid of me in my first boss fight) But now that I see your party, I wonder if I made the right choices.

[Feiwill]

Go for it. I can tell you the feeling you'll have upon finishing it will be a pure nirvana - something you just have to experience at least once in your life. If you (or Ramen) ever get stuck or need a hint for partybuilding, I'll be happy to help, if my memory allows for it.

I think your party doesn't need to be replaced (unless you want to use the Cane). Just switch classes to give all of the chars some more magic and Ninjutsu and you're set for victory.

[ramenandsleep]

awesome! thanks for the videos! it's really sweet to see an endgame party, since I have not yet reached this point in the game.

I look forward to the rest of your videos :D

[Feiwill]

Same for me! As long as you keep posting, I'll keep watching. Never too much of Wiz7.

[Joylock]

Cool. I played this game way back in the day, but never made it anywhere close to the ending. It's interesting to see how the final battle played out.
