->No Spoilers<-

After I finished wizardry 7 this weekend (at last) I have
still a few remaining questions concerning the game :

1. There are two places in the forests with small stone cubes, but nothing
   else ?! The first one is west of the Isle of Crypts and got two walls
   that build an entrance to a small yard, surrounded by a circular street;
   the second is far to the east in the Lesser Wilds and got just one stone
   cube. I tried to enter them but only bashed my parties noses.
   There is also an 1x1 isle in the south of the Sea of Sorrows, but that
   might be just decoration.
   So what to do at these places ?

2. I've counted 5 endings (or 4, 2 looks quite similar, also they are at
   different locations). Anybody found more ?

3. My Mordor-charge-card got the number 033189 (pirates may not know,
   what the hell I'm talking about :) ). A friend of mine has got No. 81xxx
   (don't know exactly). We bought the games in the same shop, the same
   day. Are these cards numbered from 000001 to xxxxxx or are this just
   arbitrary numbers ? (ok, this isn't a question of public interest, but
   it's something you start thinking about while standing in a line at
   the bus stop etc and you can't drop this thoughts, so don't flame me ;)

4. The items. I examined the gamefiles to find the graphics of the characters
   (you know,  it's more fun to design your own heros and perhaps use the
    digitized picture of yourself that's collecting dust in the cupboard).
   Doing this (without success) I've found the items of wizardy 7.
   Looks like Sir-Tech uses 72 Bytes to encode the features of every thing.
   I uncoded 61 Bytes yet, but got lots of difficulties with the meaning of
   byte 26, 29, 38-41, 58, 59, 66-68. Anyone tried this, too ?
   Anyone got a ftp-server where an item-viewer/editor is already avaible ?

5. Are there any rumors concerning the release date of wiz 8 ?
   (The end of wiz7 is a kind of cliffhanger, not too pleasant)

6. I wanted to take a joy-ride down the Devil-Falls with my wikum-boat, but
   wasn't able to find them. :( Any idea ?

7. Anyone made the 3 times bullseye at the target range ?

8. I'm missing the personal skill of reflextion. Where can you get it ?

9. The games pauses for several seconds every now and then when my party
   is south of munkharama. Also the graphics and especially regeneration stops ,
   it looks like the monsterdetections still works, for I had 3 fights one
   after the other during my well-earned rest. 
   Bug ?  Virus ??  Stupidity of the user (thats me) ???

email welcome
