You should at least use the Widescreen mod to play on higher resolutions. As you noted the play window is very small in vanilla BG1. 1200X800 or therabouts should play much better without overdoing…

Games are to be enjoyed, not to be impressed by.
I'm not impressed by the audiovisuals of old games, but I still enjoy many of them as much (or in some cases, even more) as I did 15+ years ago.

Invisible War was one of the first victims of the creative straightjacket that was the X-Box. Still, I enjoyed it enough to finish it.

Except for the plot, I agree with the pros and cons.

I wouldn't play Gold, though. Diplomacy is buggy or nonexistant, and the voice acting is so bad it's painful.

There are mods for Wiz 7?

I played U4 as a kid, U5 a year and a half ago and then tried to play U6 half a year ago.
Of these games U6 definitely was the most "unplayable", with its poor UI and small view area and I just…

Keeping the Council members alive is the main difficulty.
IIRC you can just ignore Sarevok, since you can't kill him at this stage anyway.

Only played Wiz 6-7 out of these.
I'd say they have good mechanical depth when it comes to character system.
Very few single player CRPG require grinding. The only ones I can think of are the…

In the oldest CRPGs (Wizardry 1-5, Bard's Tale games and Might&Magic 1-2) too much was left to chance and luck. No matter how good a player you were, in the early stages of the game you risked…

I agree with Fnord about Ultima.
As for Wizardry 1-5 all use the same "engine", and Wiz 5 was extremely outdated when it was released.

Well, my guys were probably higher levels than yours, and had more classes and thus higher skills. I beat him while traveling further down the dungeon, while I saved the Beast for the return journey.
