Ooooh beauty!!!
It works
Got some crashes, but it loaded just fine now.
I'm actually amazed at how good it's running on my PC. The auto-setup put me on the lowest video settings but I've tried cranking the video details up to the maximum and set the resolution to 1024X??? and it's working just fine.
Though, I have to admit I still I'll have to see how good it works once there's a little more action on the screen.
Still, so far it's just BEAUTIFUL.
(disclaimer: I've not had many graphic heavy games yet, so I'm easily impressed)
(for info: AMD 1GHz, 128MB RAM, plain GeForce3, WIN98)
Gameplay has been something to get used to as I'm used to BG. I've not played long enough yet to tell if I like the controls or not. So far, they seem to work OK.
What and I'm still struggling is the view. I just can't decide between overhead, chase cam or driver mode. They've all positive and negative sides.
So far, I've only had one henchman to experiment with. I already know that I'm like to be able to give them more specific instructions. Well, I guess that will change once the scripters settle down to the task. Maybe learn to script myself? Hm, not sure if I can do.
Anyway, story-wise, it's been pretty normal fare so far. Intrigue, we need a hero, you're the one we need ...
Well, I'll just have to make up for it using my own imagination.
Another thing I've not yet gotten around to is the builder, but I intend to have a closer look tomorrow.
Currently, I'm a human ranger, using mostly the bow.
Guess that's it for now.
cu you round

Two more thing: I forgot to mention that I hope to try out multiplayer some time too.
And, I looked into the toolset and I found a very good-looking falcon in it.
Not sure if it can be an animal companion, though.
