Thank you all for the warm welcome

From what you guys say it looks like I'm all set for some RPG goodness then. Now all I have to do is buy the game at the end of the month. Yes, it's one of those months where I know for sure that money really does talk.... and this time it said: "Bye bye"
But anyway, I'm looking forward to get my hands on this game - it sounds like a really good one in it's genre. Especially the part that you can type in actual "key" words to get info from NPC's.
It reminds me of my very first (C)RPG I've ever played: Ultima 4... been hooked ever since

And from what I've heard the manual is a pretty hefty read too. I happen to like that in a RPG game: a nice big manual, possibly a map, to get more involved in the storyline and possibilties the game has to offer.
Oh, and to answer you question Wyvern, I'm running Win 98.
Safe travels fellow adventurers
