tommyb its supposed to be a mix of both, as far as im aware, you can take on various roles, depending on the role this reflects on how you should play the game.

Sweet, mines due for dispatch as well today

Knowing my luck stupid Royal Mail will be slow though... Or worse, lose it...

Had mine Posted on 21/03/2006.

Hopefully be here tomorrow.

Hmmm, I'm already thinking of starting over and picking a different race/class. I always choose the fighter types in RPG's - I fancy trying something different this time. Maybe a thief or scout kinda thing.....hmmmm.

Street · 22 Mar 2006 at 12:28

I always end up as some sort of warrior whenever I play RPGs as well... I'm gonna try some sort of mage this time and cause lots of firey death

How is the bow action in the game? Does it suffer as it did in morrowind, becoming quite redundant?

I always do a fighter too, but I'm thinking along the lines of a battlemage perhaps, definitely need to have some spells, as the videos showing off magic look very cool.

In Morrowind I usually played a battlemage type character and used choose either Axe or Long Blade, Medium Armour and Destruction as 3 of my main skills.

Medium armour is out so not sure if I'll go with heavy or light this time! I guess light is fine if you keep your distance and blast the enemy with some magic.

I've got a simialar setup to you apart from I've got a X850xt, What are you setting levels like and what kind of resolution are you running the game at?

bakes0310 · 22 Mar 2006 at 13:13

my setup will let me play the game nicely when it arrives. Im just not too sure on the cpu cause it aint exactly a beats.

Pukk@pie · 22 Mar 2006 at 13:14

Would there be any benefit for me upgrading from 1gb memory to 1.5gb?
