im actually interested in getting this one :confused:

(addictive gameplay, lots of upgrade/items very diablo-ish and online co-op vs hordes of monsters and very different characters to play and upgrade)

Mikoyan · 27 Oct 2007 at 13:00

I use both angles OTS is cool to get a scope of the graphics but aint all that easy in massive fights which I turn to the top down mode!

I thought I fixed the vsync issue, but i guess i didnt....maybe i was drunk who knows it still exists when i thought it didnt :eek:

Dam you ATI get those drivers out quick!

This game is amazing! Story, immersion, characters, graphics and music all top notch. Just one prob though at the end of the first part (bout 2 hours in) the game crashes gonna try the patch.....

You shouldve installed the patch straight away , now you are going to have to restart the game as some parts of the patch won't work unless game is restarted.

Does the patch improve performance ?

Runs fine for me at 1680x1050 on my pitiful 3700+, 2gigRAM and X1800XT so possibly. Can't understand why all you high-end users are complaining about performance. Heck, even the plethora of loading screens don't really bother me.

Absolutely stunning game this. First single-player game that has given me ANY pleasure since my MMO addiction, and that includes HL2, Stalker and innumerable 360 titles. Depth is just right -plenty to pull you in, but not so much as to confuse the hell out of you-, it's well polished (no pun... perhaps) and the combat is just really satisfying and a great change from the traditional D&D formula.
RPG and Adventure fans, if you haven't already picked it up, best go run into town now!

It doesnt run terrible, just during some cut scenes i see circa 15 - 20 FPS. The actual gameplay is great !

NICE pics! what spec do you have 8800GTX? Ok im into the next chapter

I like it a lot better. I restarted the game and did the fighting in the low isometric mode, which is much better easier to fight multiple opponents that way. And i alternate between that view and the OTS view for movement. Both views are good.

But i'll up my score to 8 or 9/10 Its really good

Heres some pics (everything at max)

yeah the frame rate can get a little low in cutscenes! i might have to lower res to 1440x900. But in game its fine.

Surfer · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:48

ohh i forgot to ask

But in F2 low isometric mode: How do i move the camera view without going to the edge of the screen with the cursor? I tried middle mouse button and moving but that doesnt work.

How do i put potions in their supposed quickslots?
