SkeleTony: What Garran said above. In addition your childish, insulting rant does not even seem to apply to anything I said. But you know where to send your apology for being so wrong in every post you made, though I somehow doubt you are that mature.
jamotide: Well I do like the other things you say about Dragon Age crap and absurdity of level scaling, so I'll just stop and attribute your ignorance towards me on general forum bulliness and trying to beat the other guy. I can appreciate that. I looked into the forums you mentioned and apparently that behavior is normal there.
Still think the scaling is no big deal in wiz8 and the game is overall easy to medium in the hardest difficulty. Can't understand people saying this is a hard game.
I never said the game was hard though. My complaint was that I get bored grinding through hour long battles. I don't even like the first dungeon (Monastery) and wish there was a 'Dungeon Be Gone!' type mod. If you have played and beat this game 2 or 3 times before then the game doesn't really pick up until you get to Arnika IMO. The Monastery is fine the first time but gets old in replays.
I did not inject any "ignorance" of you into anything I said. I refuted your points directed at me and you retorted with insults and I have never attempted to bully anyone on the net. What a silly charge.
deathknight1728: I had a small question seeing as that was one of the games I wanted to get into but was too afraid it would be too brutal. Wizardry 8 got many people saying it was too hard while others said it was easy. I watched a few videos of combat and thought it would be cool to have a smaller party than 6 for higher lvls experience whatnot. I should brush up and at least try that game (9.99, not much on gog). Would anyone recommend a race/class combo that would work for a 2 person party. The only thing I really wanted was to have 1 of the characters as strong and lvl up slow but is very powerful, while the other character is like a thief or whatnot that is decent in melee but outclasses enemies with higher lvls and skill.
So basically in Baldurs gate, a human paladin that lvls up slow but has many skills and is deadly with melee. Coupled with an elven thief who while not as strong as the pally, can lvl up faster and eventually outclass enemies with higher skill lvls and such. Is that possible in this game or should I just give up on the whole Wizardry series. I saw the older games but the graphics are enough to think Wizardry 1-7 was too archaic.
Could someone recommend me a few race/class combos that would work with if it works at all for the 2 classes?
Different people of course have different preferences but going by what you said about your ideal Baldur's Gate duo, I would say to go with a Dwarf or Human or Dracon 'Lord' (they are like Paladins with dual wielding bonuses in melee) and a Fairy Bishop. The Lord will eventually be an okay healer but he is mainly a melee monster. The Fairy Bishop will start out slow and you will have to use the spells of "Knock! Knock!" (or whatever that open locks spell is called) and a few others to train your skill levels in all of the magic realms/schools.
EDIT: Later I would change the Bishop to a Ninja and get the Cane of Corpus.
I personally would never play without a full party but there are a LOT of people who prefer one or two PC games.
