Magness: The only RPG's I've played that possibly come close to this one is the old dungeon and dragons, such as pool of radiance series. I have also played daggerfall, so I would have to say that I am not very familiar with this type of game and I am not used to real time combat at all which is why I am having such a difficult time. This game was a gift from my husband who knows I like RPG's so he thought I'd have a lot of fun with this one.

Thank you for all the suggestions, especially about turning the AI off, I had no idea you could do that lol In fact I discovered quite by accident that I could actually pause the game during combat to issue orders. I really do not want to give up on this game. I managed to get a party all the way to the goblin fortress the other day and I was actually starting to have a lot of fun with it. Basically I guess I just need to keep playing and practising until I am familiar with it and become more experienced with the real time combat. I've mostly been playing RPG's like Wizardry 8 over the last few years, which is turn based combat and much easier for me lol

One of the things I truly enjoy about this game is it has true potential for role playing. I had a party theme in mind based on a series of novels I've read and I discovered a lot of the weapons that were used by the characters in the novels are actually in this game.

I will take all of your suggestions to heart and keep playing, I'm sure given some time and patience I will get better at this lol

Thank you so much for posting back and offering suggestions [img]smile.gif[/img]
