Wizardry 8 - Wizardry 8 Enhanced Edition v.1.0.8 - Game mod - Download

Wizardry 8 Enhanced Edition is a mod for Wizardry 8, created b Ixion XVII. Make sure to endorse the mod on the nexus mods page if you liked it.

Description (in author’s own words):

This overhaul attempts to make the game faster, less tedious but also harder and more balanced.

Unlike other Wizardry 8 overhauls this one only aims to improve the base game. No new enemies or locations. Everything is carefully added into the game and written down in the changelog.

Gold is an important resource and is no longer overabundant

Special chests have more unique loot (less bad items in boss chests)

Many Items (e.g. Potions, general loot from chests, Consumables) are harder and less often to find

Rebalanced Classes (some classes like the Fighter were just far superior than others, increased the flexibilty of some classes)

Rebalanced Spells (e.g. Healing Spells are worse, Higher level spells are better)
