Shameless confession: I once completed Wizardry 7 with a single character, from start to finish. I remember the start was very hard, but once I survived the first few fights character development skyrocketed and eventually it became a semi-god of sorts. This was because originally the XP after fights was distributed among party members, so in a regular game every character would normally receive only XP/6. It happened quite regularly that a single fight bumped my character to the next level! IIRC I finished the game with my character having level ~120, after a number of class changes. Fun times! Can't remember how I had so much free time in my life though - I must have still been in high school or uni...
- jghn 2y agoOn the Mac version of Wiz 1 somehow I rolled a ninja out of the gate, which shouldn't be possible. Because I was in 4th grade and had nothing better to do I remember sitting there for hours re-rolling and re-rolling to see how high I could get and one moment saying "holy shit!". Fast forward a bit and I had acquired a shuriken. Which if a ninja equips it, they gain a HP. Except that there was no limit to how many times you could do that. So again, because I was in the 4th grade and had nothing better to do, I sat there for hours equipping/un-equipping it to the point where eventually my ninja had hundreds of HP. Fast forward another bit and I figured out how to duplicate a character. And from that point on my party was fronted by 3 god tier ninjas. Not a surprise that this was my first party where I managed to beat werdna.
