/vr/ - Retro Games

I spent all week playing this game.

For those of you who've experience with Wizardry 4... how the fuck do I get past the first floor?

I can handle the piss-ant adventurers just fine. I can beat the Guardians just fine.

But then there are two groups of patrols near the door in the third (or maybe it was the fourth) square-hallway... named-groups of 4-6 adventurers, many with over 20 hit points. I can run from them, but it pushes me back a square and I simply encounter them again 100% of the time moving forward after that. I tried going around the square to reach the door from the other side, but another patrol-group of similar difficulty is waiting for me. I even made sure to go all the way back to the pentagram to re-summon a fresh batch of monsters, but most of them have an uncanny habit of running away like cowards or dying to one hit.

I'm no newbie to the Wizardry series at all, but with this game I felt like the designers personally broke into my apartment, tied me to the toilet, and filled my ass with lava-hot elephant cum and dragon dildos by the time the weekend ended.

Yes, I mad.
