Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

Hi, regarding your traffic example: Put a roundabout there, and everybody is happy! =) Let's state: Fighting in open spaces one or two enemies is easy because of the kiting mechnaic.

Re: XP system flawed?

Hi, GAMES are to have FUN, not to make it a CHORE on micro-management, number crunching, power-building, etc. Why don't you let everybody define "FUN" in their own way? In party based RPGs with equipment and all, micro-management sure is part of the game. I am in fact relieved that the XP ...

Re: day 1 of playing -- got my ass whipped :)

Hi, Its not true. Test yourself. Is it not? Is looks to that it is the way Drax described. The mage in my party is a little behind on EXP. I think he is, because he wasn't envolved in some battles. Holding a staff in one hand and a torch in the other is kind of bad when the mana is gone and spiders ...

Re: Quirk: Items on the floor are sometimes hard to pick up

Hi, i also play on an 17" TFT, 4:3 1280x1024. And the really interesting stuff is always hard to pickup. For me, it usually works to press the right mouse button and tilt the view. You have to be fast, but you can take the items, although it might require two or three tries. Also try turning le...
