These days I came back to Wizardry 8 after a few years abstinence. Last I did back then was playing a Solo with a lowest tier solo character class - a Mage that is. After that I stopped, since the challenge to play Ironman didn't seem viable, but there's been nowhere else to go to up the challenge. It's a bit unfair, because status effects & death spells can't be entirely negated: There'll always be a minimum risk, regardless of resistances and level. In a true Solo w/o RPCs that's the end right there...
Anyway: I felt like playing again, figured out ways to dodge some of the fixed encounters w/ death spell opponents and started to play that Solo. Considering the difficulty I decided I'd play a multiclass character for the 1st time - the most powerful character I could come up with. By now I am already about to leave Arnika after powertraining a lot, heading for the Umpani Camp. That specific part should be doable, but since I never did it before I am very likely to die sooner or later - no use pretending.
The Stream (yes, this is the link) will commence tomorrow (sunday the 26th) at about 19:00 (UTC+2) on Twitch. It may vary a bit, so I'll update the post about half an hour before starting. I'd be happy to welcome any viewers that may be interested!
