Tonight's feedback... and then I've got to get to bed [img]smile.gif[/img]
Made it into the town of Fargrove. Couple of minor glitches along the way.
1. The Theatre Door on the bottom floor doesn't work, though it shows the label. Only the one on the upper floor seems to. Annoying, that was...
2. It sure would be nice to have a timer bar or something when changing scenes. When you move between them, the game freezes (at least on my machine, an Athlon 2600+ with 1GB of memory).
3. Many of those swarming critters can be confused if you jump onto a treasure chest. It's amazing how effective that is... they forget how to attack you.
4. That war troll is harder than he was in the demo... primarily because there are so few fireballs and such. However, he's kind of dumb as far as trolls go... he can't figure out how to go through a doorway to get you. I peppered him with arrows and the occasional magic missile from one of the side doors.
5. Just ran into my first real glitch in the Arms of Argus armory (recognize that?
). After selling a bunch of the junk I was carrying around (as a fellow pack rat), I suddenly turned invisible when I left the trade dialog. Some of the furnishings also turned invisible too... I may update my graphics drivers just to be sure I'm current.
6. Boy, could I use an automap... hope it shows up in the next patch
7. They made advanced lockpicking easier. With a higher skill, fewer tumblers show up. So a level 4 lock with no skill has four tumblers, but with skill three it has only three tumblers. Unfortunately, those 99% level 1 locks now crawl by at the speed of molasses on a cold January morning...
8. Random encounters in town... nice [img]smile.gif[/img] And the guards help, if they're around. For my game, though, they just piped up that they had to take care of the townspeople, leaving me to attack the critters... [img]smile.gif[/img]
9. Guild membership quests... what a concept! No more "Pay 500GP to become a member", it's now "Do something for us first". Looking forward to that, frankly.
10. Did I mention I'd kill for a map? I would...
That's all for now. I'm sitting on some 40,000 skill points on the off chance that they may be more useful in certain skills, and that I can train some things (instead of buying them with skill points).
