Note: In this second party I recently remade it and just made a "war priest". A dwarven priest spec'd in Piety and Strength. It's much more effective than anything else I can think of as a hybrid healer. Unless you want to survive until arnika/level 7 with a Valkyrie that grinds divinity for 5 hours in front of a heal fountain.
Cuz it's gay Actually the fairy ninjas best weapon is the cane of corpus and it's short range and I simply didn't have enough short range party slots for thst build
For me, Wizardry 8 is the best RPG of all time and I'm always happy when a player reports about it here on UA-cam. The possibilities to create good characters are very diverse and the opinions are very different as to what is good or bad. So forgive me for my comments, as I have had different experiences. 1. The best weapons are not swords but polearms, which come online much faster, usually deal more damage and, unlike most swords, also have extended range and can be bought in infinite numbers (Dread Spears!). For swords, except for Bloodlust at the beginning, it takes a while until you get Fang, Giant Swords (only for Mooks) or Ivory Blade. 2. For hybrids, the penalty of - 4 in the spellbook weighs very heavily and developing magic takes very slowly. Getting buffs like Enchanted Blade, Missile Shield, Magic Screen or X-Ray earlier makes the game much easier. Beginners should give the hybrids a wide berth, with the exception of the Valkyrie. 3. The best attributes for melee characters and thus also hybrids are Dexterity and Strength. Speed only affects attacks and swing progression. Beyond that, it has no use for skill development. 4. The best beginner party in my opinion are Fighter, Bard, Valkyrie (Fighter), Mage, Priest and Alchemist (Ranger). In my experience, the most successful party are 3 Fighters or (2 Fighters+Bard) and 3 Bishops (2 Bishops + Mage or Alchemist). 5. Magic is strongest in the first half of the game in the form of AoE spells such as Magic Missiles, Fireball, Whipping Rocks, Iceball, etc. However, at least 2 or better more characters should be able to cast spells well. In the second half of the game, melee dominates. If you have a good balance in your party, you'll have it easy throughout the game.
Appreciate watching someone familiar with the game clicking and explaining things. I'm 40 hours in and didn't realize the status screens at 1:00:39 were even a thing.
I made a drakensang one a decade ago. Would love to do that again. I went through those games a dozen times. Id have to figure out how to get it working in win10 though

Wizardry isn't really my thing, but I would love character creation/tips-videos for Gothic- and Drakensang-series.
