I now run XP, because I got 10-15 bluescreens daily with wintendo98SE before I formatted and installed the new OS.

Odd, I hardly ever have any problems with my Win98. Sure that it didn't just need a good reformat, defrag, scandisk and registry cleanup? That has a habit of doing wonders [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The game is almost as god as Wizardry 8 but i hate those cliff birds and i think the monster are to easy it would also been better if the monsters you meet in the game was a little more difficult to kill after what level you are your self like in Wiz 8! :D

Windows xp does require more memory to run, but when your actually using it, it wastes much less memory than windows 9x ever did. As long as you have enough memory in the system, windows xp will allow the game to have more reliable access to the memory as well as helping to eliminate most memory leaks.

I really enjoy the vastness of the game. I am at about level 12 and I still have the feeling that the monsters will kill me. This is probably due to the fact that I am an archer wearing no armor. I tried making a straight fighter and found the game way to easy even in the beginning. I think the ease of the combats really depends on your chosen character. If the design the game so it is always tough for the combat monsters, it makes it almost impossible for those of us that are weaker in combat. The added difficulty slider in the patch should help those that think the game is too easy.

Personally I like the fact that if I wanted, I could play a character with very little combat skills and still enjoy the game.

A little thing that bothers me is the lack of respect. My character is the Guildfrigginmaster of the Mage guild, the Fighter's guild , the Legion, the Cult and the next highest rank in the Temple and the Morag Tong BUT I still get the "What do you want outlander", "Make it quick", "Do you need directions outlander ?" from members of _MY_ guilds,...

no big deal, not biching just a little annoying
