Wizardry 8

Developed by Sir-Tech, Wizardry 8 concludes the Dark Savant trilogy and is the last Wizardry game in the series. Players can create or import a party of up to six adventurers. Another two additional NPCs can be recruited in-game from a selection of varied creatures. The game uses a first-person perspective with everything viewable except for the party. Combat is turn based and possesses a heavy strategic element. Characters develop with a unique combination of gaining levels and the usage of abilities and skills. This is a game directed at the hardcore RPG audience.

Solutions & Issues
Widescreen Solution & Issues:

FMV videos always run at 640x480. Widescreen resolutions are detected in the game's setup tool (3DSetup.exe) but everything stretches from 4:3. Use the Wizardry 8 Extender for Widescreen Support for Hor+ gameplay. Menus, HUD and all other 2D elements are still stretched from 4:3 with this mod. Only 16:10 and 16:9 resolutions are supported; other aspect ratios still stretch from 4:3.
