Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints

All that's in here is a bunch of named pirates. What can I do with them?

  • 1 of 7: Have you tried talking to them?
  • 2 of 7: Have you looked at enough of them to recognize any names?
  • 3 of 7: How about Jon Van Caneghem?
  • 4 of 7: Like in previous games, all the NPCs wandering about are named after real-life employees of New World Computing.
  • 5 of 7: Kill them for doing this to you! Kill them all!
  • 6 of 7: Seriously, slashing the pirates for a bit of experience and gold is all you can do here. There isn't even any junk floor treasure to pick up. What a disappointment!
  • 7 of 7: The only neat thing is that the area fully regenerates every time you exit and reenter it. Infinite battle and plunder! (Though it's hardly worth a huge time investment this late in the game.)
