Another newbie and his infernal ?'s....

[Mongolmike]

Greetings all!
Just got started with Icewind the first, and had a few questions... is there any way to set-up the game to be more of a turn-based game, rather than a real-time? I like being able to order my merry little band of mauraders around specifically (i.e. - cast spells at targets other than the targets my front line troops are attacking; casting healing spells/potions in the midst of battles, etc.) Like in "Fallout", or the old "Bard's Tale" series, I like being a control freak!

Also, I'm using a Bard... do I only get one song? If I (she) has more than one song at her disposal, how to I access them, and how do I see the I.D. of the individual songs? And can she use the song she learnd-ed (sic) from the little mermaid babe in Easthaven?

Anyway, thanks for your help in advance...It's a good day to die, and we got some ghouls that need a slay-in'!

you can play with auto-pause in the options, although i prefer auto pause on sight and then hitting spacebar whenever i want to change somebody's actions

Last question answered first. You will get more songs as you progress in level. The manual should spell out which songs as which level. I believe they are activated using the special ability button. No, unless something has changed, I don't believe that you can actually use the song that the siren teaches you.

To set up a turn based game, go into the game options menu and turn on the autopause features. There is an option to pause after every round/turn. That should get you close to what you want. [img]smile.gif[/img]
