OK I am totally stupid - just got the game and loaded it. Am I supposed to spend my time walking around in the total darkness in the cell? If so how do I get into the light? Is it me or is it my settings? - probably me! Someone please take pity on me _________________ martin |

Increse the gamma and maximize fog distance in the video options, it will help it a bit, but be prepared for very dark parts of the game (think of thief games..). _________________ - Merz |

I worked with my gamma, contrast, and luminosity settings and they have lit me up very well. I've had no need for torches or ignite and can not see that it has interfered with my view in any way that takes away from the scenery. Good luck, I thought getting out of the prision was a bitch! |

I just ordered Arx Fatalis and should receive it in mail in another day or 2. After reading these threads, I am ANXIOUS to start playing! I am deep into Icewind Dale 2 (great game) and hope Arx will be fun. Any clues for me to get it running? Thanks. |

Hard to tell. It all depends on your style of playing, but I found that I spent too much points developing the necesary skill to pick locks, for example. If something important or crucial is in a locked chest, there'll always be a key hidden somewhere or on someone to open it. If you plan to play a melee oriented character, put points on strength, melee attack and defense. I put many points in ranged attack at the beginning, and I never used the bow: found it useless as most enemies get close to you pretty soon. _________________ "You may win a thousand fights, but you can only lose one" (Zaknafein to Drizzt - The Dark Elf Trilogy.) |

Many thanks for the advice. Unfortunately nothing worked and I am still in total darkness, I cannot find anything or see anything. _________________ martin |

??? You mean you increased your gamma/contrast settings and still can't see? Then I believe is a problem with your video card. Only advise I can give is download latest drivers. I played with my settings to the point where I needed torches or candles only in very very dark environments, and ONLY when looking for hidden switches
