I loved the Wizardry series ever since I played the first one on the original NES, and I adored Wizardry 7/Gold. I looked forward to Wizardry 8, more and more with each glimpse released. When I finally played Wizardry 8, though. I was disappointed. The character advancement and such were okay. What I truly hated was the system whereby all monsters in an area are automatically made to equal your character. To me, it made any efforts to level your characters rather pointless. If the monsters are always going to equal you, going up any levels and/or power is kinda silly.
