pity they never included the emotimovements
or actually had an options to have numbers to your healthbar permanently and not just temp

Just had first shot of it tonight. Camera is a bit annoying but easy to control with the middle mouse button so no major worry for me. Took some time getting used to the individual character abilities like spellcasting though I've decided to go a Ranger, hopefully built up to Harper Agent. Will see how I get on. 
I found the Ranger to be very good in melee so far, then used my companions to distract spell casters while I used my bow (I also took dual-wield feat for longsword/shortsword combo). Only at level four just now though so I thought I might take a level of Rogue for sneak-attack or Wizard if spell casters proove too much of a problem at later levels, maybe Cleric instead.

I'm totally ripping through large groups of mobs at the moment, get em all around Khelgar, ice storm from me, fireball from Qara, then I go into the fray and call lightning a few times, mwahahaha

hmm Rangers get that feat for free later. (i think)
Afew tips guys if you want to make the best of your toon you going to have to plan out your lvls. DnD games is all about char building. You can make yout oon anyway you want. A good explame of this is a tanking monk or a pure dmg monk streght or dex.
If you like the game reading up on dnd rulesset is awsome and even makes the game more involing
For ranger you want to go very high dex and take the feat thats makes you use your dex instead of strengh for your melle combat rolls thats way your great with bow and melle weapons
Tho cleic might be a good mix with ranger but go for high wisdom and pick the feat thats makes you use wisdom instead of dex for your bow rolls

when you overclcok do you ask for advice/information on how to do it or do you go and find out yourself?
I had taken 16 Dex for my Ranger so that my other stats weren't too poor, I hate the idea of using "dump stats" (in my gaming experience usually Charisma). My initial plan for the Ranger was a Harper Agent as I played one in a tabletop campaign for a few months though I'm thinking of just mixing my character up a bit to try out the various multi-classes for the real game.
I thought a nice idea might be to have a multi-class Ranger/Cleric with favoured enemy Undead, then have the Ranger specialise in bludgeoning weapons for extra bonus. Not sure how often Undead appear in the game though.
It's two possible paths I was thinking about at the early levels.

This is why i sooo love the game... It realy is up to you to build your toon the way you want to
and the grouping npc make up for it if you end up with a weak toon but love it Bigpig said:This is why i sooo love the game... It realy is up to you to build your toon the way you want to
Only problem is his Charisma is only 10 so no bonus to Turn Undead, so will need to leave that idea for another character.
n1kunj said:I've found that to get the best performance/quality mix, I turned off all water effects (reflection, refraction) which dropped my framerate by about 15 even with no water
I still had shadow quality on high but in advanced I turned all of the shadow map sizes to their minimums. Can't tell the difference between minimum and maximum but get a huge frame boost.
It never drops below 20fps, and usually sticks at around 30 which for an rpg is perfectly playable. Playing at 1440x900.
I also set affinity to a single core, just in case. I just really wish there was AA because I hate jaggies
I'm really surprised how bad it looks considering the crappy performance, Oblivion played flawlessly on max settings with AA+HDR and looks a hundred times better.
I've just tried this, and the game plays much better, for some reason i also think it looks better (but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me)
Avg 30fps, sometimes up to 60 (not often though) lowest 25 @ 1440x900 as well.
Thanks mate, those setting have rescued this game for me, visually i've been disappointed so far, but now i think i can sit back and enjoy it a lot more.
