Welcome to the board,

here's a quick list of answers to your questions, I'm sure others will compliment them as required.

1 and 2- range weapon are weak in this game. If you plan on having range weapon, my advise would be to have them pre-selected and to start shooting ASAP when you see ennemies. Once you're at close range, you're characters will automaticaly change to melee weapons if they are equiped (FYI, the best weapons are swords, anything else are almost (not the almost) useless.

3- The thief is at a real dissadvantage. IMHO, the best solution, though unfortunate, is to forget about the thief and to put an extra fighter that will evolve into a barbarian.

4- The game saves itself automaticaly once in the city. To access this feature, you need to REVERT the games. Caution, you can't undo stuff that you did in the city when you revert.

5-8 Some of the interface is very cumbersome, you got a point there that I don't think many would dispute.

9- As weird as this may sound, you don't need to cheat in the early stages of the game to advance. Your normal character advancement should be enough to cover for any spendings that you might REALLY need. You start getting money after the Serpent temple, which coincides with the period where you'll make more role changes, and will need to invest in skill advancements at guilds. Early on, what you get is enough (both in good and stats development).

Have fun playing and I'm sure you'll find this forum a great place for info.

BTW, welcome to the forum.
