Hi all,
well this is my first post here after waiting over two weeks for my registration to appear...must be busy!
Anyway, i'm fairly experienced when it comes to this sort of thing being an old skool D&D player, warhammer fantasy roleplay, 40k, hero quest, all the old software titles including dungeon master and the only just mentioned by someone else bards tale (how good a spell was mind blade!!!)
anyway, my point...
I have only played Baldurs Gate in this series so far and loved it so was expecting a lot from icewind but am feeling slightly deisapointed.
Unlike some others (i've been reading posts), i liked the idea of creating my own party...i am the sort who will sit there all night if nesc to get good stats! I also have a tried and tested party formation which in this case includes two mages...i dont remember for the life of me having such an unpleasent time with mages in baldurs gate but did anyone else have a complete nightmare trying to cast something pokey like fireball without running out of casting time and being mauled in hand to hand or burning the hell out of your own party! the timing and fireball diameter seemed to ruin the whole point!! This may be partly to do with map creation or the games mistimings but i gotta say, i didnt like this aspect at all...
On another issue, has anyone heard of why i might be getting an error something to the effect of 'programmer says that WAB file cannot be used'...i forget the exact wording and have lost the piece of paper it was witten down on but it happened 30 out of 30 times i tried loading the area after the ice palace and salamanders...you know, the cave in the bottom right corner...EXTREMELY IRRITATING as now i have uninstalled the game and washed my hands with it! I even installed the patch but still it refuses to work. There should be no hardware problems as this is the first error i have encountered!! Also, i then started again as a single player ranger...got to level 8 in the lizard man caves and then level up'd and the game crashed...did it again and again and again...this was the final straw! I got rid of the installation as i just said am annoyed i spent so long playing it!
