Hi Lady Avalon !
I cannot really join Stealthy in recommending the use of the scripts. I have not used the scripts myself, but using the scripts is to rely on the A.I. and for me that is the weakest part of the game, especially if the idiotic behaviour of summoned spellcasters is any indication of the quality of the scripts for npcs.
So for learning purposes I would rather recommend to you to set the scripts to default and to enable as many autopause options as you like to give you more control over the game. Also enable all the information display options (hit dice rolls, etc.). While the game is paused, take your time to read in the message box what is going on: which spells have been cast, who is affected by which spell, how is character A you have fighting opponent B faring and why (cannot hit, gets hit every time, etc. ), why seems character C to always fail his saving throw, maybe you have a magical item to keep that from happening . The combat system in this game is rather complex, but that makes it also a great challenge. Later on when you know better what is going on and what is important in a battle, you can go back to a more action-orientated playing style with less pausing if you like to.
Happy posting and gaming !
