Welcome to the boards, Shaque Nova! May your journeys in the Gael Serran be a beacon for those who follow...
I wish the targeting area for things were larger than just a pixel or two. It does make things hard... like combat with something that's swimming or flying. Suckers keep on dodging and weaving... irritating, that is! Unfortunately, the only way to partially address it which I'm aware of is using a lower resolution so the pixels are bigger
I haven't seen the snow before that I can remember... in which maps do you see that? I'm curious now
As for that stupid silly underwater tunnel... yeah, it's annoying. The answers that are inside it are in the Best Tips thread, for those who are really stuck.
But in any case, welcome aboard! Stick around, 'cause there will be others with gaming questions, to be sure... and besides, you still haven't said what kind of party you've used, your most and least favorite spells, any weird game combinations you've played.... practically nothing at all!
