[QUOTE="Chain Lightning, post: 1144672, member: 6791"] Just got the game. Having a blast so far. Had to do a fair bit of power min/maxing at character creation to make a survivable party. First party stunk. My current party is: -Human Barbarian -Half Elf Paladin -Human Rogue -Human Cleric -Human Wizard A lot of humans huh!? Yah, I wanted all the extra Feats and skill points. My whole entire party has Move Silently upped as far as their class can take it. Funny to sneak in and get all the treasure from Hill Giant in Emridy Meadows and never have to fight him. But I use my party's stealth most of the time just to get that first surprise round on a dungeon room's inhabitants. Its probably a waste of Feats, but I made my Wizard human so I can begin with two. Gave her Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot so she can hang back and shoot into melee with ranged weaponry when she's not casting spells. Here's some minor complaints about the game for me. Random number generator seems to really low ball me a lot. Also with the oddest characters. For instance, my Human Barbarian, number-wise...should be hitting the most. Considering all the bonuses his has. With weapon focus, high base strength of 17, bull's strength casted on him, and raged....he should be hitting stuff pretty regularly. But he doesn't he whiffs at the air so often! But if my Wizard runs out of ammo, steps up beside the Barbarian, and whacks a guy with her staff, she hits often and rolls high on damage! I'm like...."my wizard fights better than my Barbarian!" Another complaint of mine is the scrolling. Now, this could be fixable and I just don't know how.....but so far it bugs me. Let me explain. Y'know how you're screen shows you the over-head isometric view of the area you're at? Normally on such games, if you move your mouse cursor over to one side of the screen (to the edge) the camera moves over to that direction and shows you what's over there. I can't do that. To get the camera to move over the terrain, I have to put the mouse cursor up agains the corners of the screen. Then and ONLY then, does the camera move. Only when the mouse cursor is pressed up against the corners. Then the camera moves diagonally in that direction. Like, if I put mouse arrow in upper right hand corner. The camera moves over terrain north easterly. But real real real slow too. Now, this works with the arrow buttons too. But I gotta press diagonally to do it. Like up arrow and right arrow to move camera north east. Simply pressing right won't make camera go right. Neither is putting the mouse cursor up against right side of screen edge. Has to be the corners of the screen only. This get annoying when I simply just want to shift my view over directly to the right a bit. Or straight up. Instead I gotta zig zag in diagonals to get to where I want to see. ALSO, it moves really slow. I've found a way around that recently by pressing the mouse in a corner I want to move camera to while also pressing the corresbonding arrow keys that go in that same direction. Then it moves faster. Mouse speed is fine moving around within the screen, its just the camera moves slow and I can't get it to go east, west, north or south. Only NW, NE, SE, and SW directions. Anyone have clue to how to fix this? Or is the game suppose to be this way? [/QUOTE]
