Labels:text | screenshot | font OCR: Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge A Review by Mark Bylander Bane of the Cosmic Forge, while a continuation of the Wizardry series, requires absolutely no knowledge of previous games. It is a very enjoyable role-playing game. Its plot makes up for the EGA-only graphics. The first thing to do in Bane of the Cosmic Forge is character generation. This is very simple and straightforward, but it will take hours to create a set of decent characters. To get any of the impressive characters, you have to keep "rolling" characters until you get a "bonus score" of , say, 17 or higher. Maybe one in ten or twenty characters will be acceptable by this criterion. I have found that a Ninja is an excellent character -- my Ninja has almost as many kills as my big spell-casters. Bards are extremely useful, especially at the lower levels. Characters can belong to many races and classes: Race Description ==== =============== ======= Human Bipedal mammals of genus homo Elf Magically inclined and lithe <ESC> Exit, 1!
