There are quite a few around. This shows the location of one, for example, in the Market District. One can also be found on the wall of the Black Horse Courier in this area.
 
Gamespot have the review up, not read it yet because I have the game and am happy.


The Good: Huge, lavishly detailed world offers tremendous amount of action and adventure; main mechanics like combat, stealth, and magic are fun and well designed; impressive artificial intelligence and hundreds of believable characters; outstanding symphonic score, as well as excellent voice acting and sound effects; tremendous replay value, plus gorgeous graphics to make it easy on the eyes.

The Bad: Frequent though fairly brief loading times; you might run into some technical issues with performance.


Frequent though fairly breif loading times? All I see is "loading area" flash on and then half a second later off again, not once have I ran into a mega long load time on the fly. I consider this game to load very fast :), from me clicking the icon on my desktop im playing within seconds(just tested it, 15 seconds from clicking the desktop link to playing the game).

Yeah - the loading times should have been in the pros! It's amazing how quickly it loads considering the size and complexity of the game.....fantastic job by the programmers.

It really is one of the most (if not the most) absorbing games I've ever played. My only real complaint is that the gameworld is so totally realistic and engrossing that when something dumb and "computery" happens, like an NPC getting stuck or baddy just standing there because you somehow haven't triggered him, it really grates and makes you suddenly realise you're just in a game :) It's almost set the bar too high - it can't quite manage to live up to itself sometimes. Amazing game.
 
Loving the sound of this game - although from reading a few pages of the thread some of you are running it on monster rigs ... do I stand a hope in hell of getting a playable framerate with my rather more modest set-up as below?

P4 2.8GHz HT
2Gb Corsair TwinX XMS3200
Radeon 9700 Pro

My old Barton rig has a 9800 Pro I could swap in if needs be, but by modern standards I guess that wouldn't make much difference. I realise that I'll probably have to do without a lot of the graphic 'frills', but as long as it's playable, I can live with that.
 
My 1st RPG and I'm hooked :D £19.99 ive already gotten more game time than a single player FPS with barely starting the main storyline.

Wifes not too happy though & its a good job shes feeding the kids & dog :p

Oh and load times? what load times? Takes seconds to get in the game, 'Loading' flashes on the screen now & then (no interruption) and entering new areas usually load so fast I dont get a chance to read the tips!
 
Grrrr. Game keeps crashing for me! Keep getting memory errors. This usually occurs when I turn around. This doesnt happen in any other games. Anyone else get this? any fixes? Its all on a new install anyway

I'm gettine the odd "has caused a problem and must be shut down error" I also get about 5fps whenever a wolf attacks me with and 2.8Ghz Opteron and a 7800GT??

Overall it's a brilliant game, just needs a little bit of patchwork IMO :)

I've also had to rename my battlemusic folder because it was causing horrendous stuttering!
 
Wow! 5fs on a 7800GT! :eek: Methinks the game needs some optimizations.

Im running it on a 6600GT at 800x600 and most settings set on low and no HDR or Bloom and in the main it ran good until I reach Kavatch! I only get about 5-10 fps and when in battle even lower!

I think I will be ordering that x1800XT and x2 4400+ very soon!
