The Damage is as has been described above. The least damaging weapon is a Dart at 1D3, and the most damaging is the Two-Handed Sword, Katana, and (I think) Halberd at 1D10.
The Speed Factor is what determines your 'delay.' Weapons with low Speed Factors, such as Daggers, make their attacks earlier in the round than those with high Speed Factors, such as Flails.

2. Is there anywhere like a bank to store items?
Items left on the ground for over a day will disappear, unless they're specific plot-related quest items. But you can dump your stuff into any container, anywhere, and they're there for good. But there are certain times and places where the map changes, and you could lose your stuff if:
1) You stash your gear in Map Area A,
2) Something happens, and the map changes to Map Area B, and then
3) All future trips to that place will result in your getting sent to Area B,
meaning you can't ever get back to Area A to get your stuff back.
It's perfectly safe to store your equipment in an area that has already changed.

3. Whenever i get one quest i go to do it, then get assigned another, does it matter when i do these quests?
As a general rule, the only quests that have a timer on when you must complete them will tell you so--explicitly. If somebody says, "Meet me in the City Gates district by noon tomorrow," they mean it. If they say, "Bandits are attacking our village! You must hurry!" you can probably fool around for weeks and they won't care.

4. My game always crashes for seemingly no reason, anyone know why?
1) Always install all patches in the correct order. See the FAQ sticky thread at the top of the forum.
2) BG is just going to crash, better just get used to it. It was rushed in the last stages of development and not all the kinks were ironed out.
3) Those computers using a motherboard built with a VIA chipset tend to be buggier playing BG than other systems.
4) Try to learn when your game crashes. That'll help you dignose and probably treat the problem.
