How to cheat or salvage my run

[JT]

You should make backup's of your save , lesson learned..

i'm several hours into the game.
5 out of 6 of my party is either dead or paralyzed.
I made it back to town.
I need about 5000 gold to fix this problem.

Im about 4 hours into the game and there is simply no way i will replay/restart ; if i cant cheat or fix my way out of this then my journey ends here.

Do i have any options?

[JT]

Yeah but i dont have a back up.

This run is done if i cant cheat or fix this and im not gonna waste my time grinding another party up.

thanks for the encouraging words though , and thanks for that workaround.

[JT]

I totally get that , and i'm super impressed by this games design. I got pretty invested in my run and stayed up late playing.

Sadly its 2024 and there are too many games and not enough time.

i think if the developers want new players to actually complete the dungeon they might consider including a cheat engine into the game like so many remakes of JRPG's do. Its a shame because its a brilliant game but it doesn't respect your time.

I see the dev's are quite stubborn on the request for battle speed options so i suppose i have my answer there. too bad.

Just to try and get this thread back on track , I am still looking for a cheat or solution to my issue if anyone else has thoughts.

thanks.

one party completing this game is not the droid you are looking for. the idea here is to create many successful parties. its also to lose parties and start over. the idea is to turn the $ paid into less than a penny per day of game owned and played. if you raise 20 parties to big-time status, you will look back on the idea that you wanted to quit after 1 as adolescent silliness. this game eats parties. if you would rather drink milk than chew jalapenos, you should definitely quit.

Milk is disgusting.

what a dweeb

[deadbeef]

Yes. I need some sort of cheat or auto-save backup system to finish this game. It's fun, but as the OP said, I have too many games, and not enough time. I'm not going to grind up 3 more characters from level 1 because they got hit by zombies and 1-hit-KO'd; I'll simply play a different game. This game does not respect my time. Which I understand, because it's oldschool game, but some way to alleviate the BS in the game would be nice.

This game was created in the days of yore when "save early, save often" was a mantra. Keeping a backup of your save games is a must for this one as save scumming is certainly necessary to lessen the frustration.

Back in the day there was a program called WizEdit that allowed you to "cheat." Unfortunately, there is nothing for this particular remaster as far as I know.

Too bad console enjoyers have no options to manually save / reload from a previous save state.

If you want a TRULY punishing experience, get this remake on consoles -- no options to control when you save. No options to reload. No way to control the awful RNG on level ups.

I would not mind a cheat to resurrect lost parties, even with xp penalty..

yes we do!! DO NOT CRY and LIE at the same time. you can save, copy and load from 5 save slots. you can quit/save any time. xbox version running smoothly by the way. nice port.

Same thing happened to me. 6 hours in and had a near total party wipe, limping back to town with just one character on low health, the rest dead. My only option was to roll up five new party characters and pillage the bodies of the dead, but that's what I love about Wizardry!

they don't care
tbh i don't care either
it's up to YOU to decide weather or not you want to complete the dungeon

my advice for everyone?
map the level yourself
this gets you even more invested in each dive, puts you in the dungeon longer and more times, helps you gain familiarity with the enemies and layouts, and ends with you having more experience and gold.

the "modern day settings" only show how entitled modern day gamers are and how all of our modern day games have suffered as a result of things like automapping, waypoints and journals/notes/hints.

this old game shows that you can have a blast if you do these things yourself.

I'm making duplicate back up file duling game play.
Just switch to desktop to run batch file.
