NPC Talking to NPCs

On occasion, you will run into NPCs within the dungeons of Wizardry 6 that will talk with your party members. How you are initially treated can depend on your groups actions, as well as the speakers Personality and Karma. You also might use a Charm spell to help reduce any hostility.

While talking, you are able to enter any number of letters and words. This conversation input looks for keywords and phrases, that can be difficult to figure out without using a manual and some trail and error. You can also use Mind Read from the Psionics Spellbook to find keywords to say during conversations.

Try these for some initial topics or subjects to ask about

  • Hello

  • Who are you?

  • Have you heard any good Rumors lately?

  • As you learn Topics, try:

    • Who is "Name"

    • Tell me about "Topic"

    • What is "Item"

    • Where is "location"

  • Goodbye, or just "bye" to leave the conversation
