Re: Is Book II Easy or Hard??

I think that overall it is just slightly too easy. Collecting money was the biggest hurdle for me as I never seemed to have enough to buy the good stuff and had to make it myself with the imbue armour spells.

Monsters overall were weak, especially the dwarves. Even the Taurax by the end were not ...

Make the towns more like Baldur's Gate!!

As much as I like Books 1 & 2, it would be nice if it was more like Baldur's Gate. Let me specify how :

1. The towns are really empty in Book2. There are no NPCs wandering the streets to talk to (they're mute) :(

2. There are very few houses to walk into that are not (a) empty (b) one of the shop ...

Taurax lacking shadows!

Taurax don't have any shadows in their graphics!! It makes them look very artificial compared to everything else in the game!

Oh, and some sounds still play when I've turned all the audio sliders to 0%, such as birds tweeting and button clicks.

Keep squashing those bugs, BW!! :D

Re: Game won't even launch!

I HAVE GOT IT TO WORK!!!!

Just try killing processes in the background and you should get it working fine. I'll have to keep isolating to find out which one, but I killed Comodo Firewall, Anti-Vir, D3D overrider and ATi Tray Tools.

Try that!! :D

In my case, I've narrowed it down to a graphics card driver problem - I think - (see earlier post) but I'm running the latest version from AMD/ATI, so I'm at a bit of a loss really. :(

Re: Game won't even launch!

That was the very first thing I tried. Strangely, it works fine on my xp laptop. Could it be a driver problem? I'm using an Asus Xonar D2 sound card and ATI 4890 gfx card (driver 10.4) ?

I've just noticed, that if I don't force the program to close, after a minute or two it says "exception stack ...

Game won't even launch!

Hi,

I've just bought the registration code for Book 2, and downloaded the game. Unfortunately after installing it and double clicking on the .exe, it won't even start!

I get the launcher window, but without any graphics inside, so I can't select screen res, windowed mode or anything!! It just ...
