I wouldn't put off buying the game because of bad acting. Not if the quests and the rest of the game were good.

But I am now having a sinking feeling about my near RPG future. I was looking forward to BD and Sacred to fill the RPG void in the market now. However "mighty stamar" warns of arcade sequences! Arrrrrgh. I'm not going to go buy myself a stroke knowingly.

I hope to read all your reviews here as soon as the games come out. I no longer intend to be first on line.

There have been talking about that it's difficult to hit the enemies with the mouse button in BD, I don't know if that's what you mean. I personally think it's much easier to simply press CTRL and the I can press all over the screen and I will attack it that way. But that's me.




Hmmm. I was putting that down to my bad hand/eye co-ordiantion. I had forgotten how to do the fighting from DD. It just seemed to be a royal pain in the demo. It also seemed hard to keep both characters engaged at the same time. My main character would get killed while the dark knight was lally gaggling around the dungeon miles away.

Another thing I've forgotten - was there a quick save in DD? I had to go through menu options to save in the demo, but that might be expected. Hope there's a quick save key in the actual game.

There is a quick save in the demo, same as in DD ctrl +S from memory.

There's quick save in both DD and BD, the key shows in the control settings and you can edit it if you want.

Press "select all" under the portraits to walk with both in the same time.


Btw people: Maybe you all know of it already, as you remember you could move the automap in DD just draging it. In BD you have to drag in the ends of the automap to move it, if you press anywhere on the map in BD your characters will go to the point you marked on the map, nice function for long walks

I was using "select all" but it seemed the game would forget I had it on after every fight when I'd loot the dead. I'm sure I'll get used to it when the game does come out.

Thanks for the hint about using the map for navigation. That's good.

Maybe it got something to do with running. Sometimes when you start running only the first selected character before hitting 'select all' will run, and the second will keep walking. If this happens just stop and hold till both have stopped and then run again and they both will run.

And they are listening. A friend got an e-mail from Larian today that BD will be delayed until the end of April so they can redo the English voice acting!

Good on ya, mate.
