I am sure that I am not the only one to notice it, but have you tried to turn at 90o when you see an arrow flying at you, the arrow turns too!
I know that really an arrow fly faster than you can turn it (exept for diablo: the arrows are flying like hovering snail) but it's funny to see a homing arrow.

Really? I have never noticed that before....have ta check it out.

That's right. Only in BG1 (before you install TotSC), missiles travel much slower. This was especially apparent when throwing loads of darts at a monster that walked by. You'd see the darts making all sorts of crazy bends and turns.

Actually on my system I don't tkink I'd even notice...I run at a snails pace anyway.

You know, I think that when you press "space bar" when a missile is just near you, it will not deal damage. But I am really not sure...

Missile and spell effects apply when they strike the target. A fast enough target can flee the area and avoid the effect. However, closing a door will not disrupt the effect.

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

I myself have moved around a corner while an arrow was coming for me, and it still hit, it went clean through the brick wall too! BS!

you cast haste and you can run faster than a speeding bullet, arrow, bolt or meteor

If you keep this up forever, will a spell projectile ever "run out of duration"?

They'll certainly not run out of range... I've been hit with Symbols from across two screens.

Hmm... I never had this: the spell dissapears when I quit the area...

If you switch areas you'll avoid the spell, but if you run for quite some distance in the same area, it'll just follow you everywhere you go.
