Re: Why No Keyboard Movement?

Having to position the mouse properly, given the 8 directions you can move and the tiny, seamless grid squares, requires a little bit of guesswork -- and quickly becomes annoying. This at least is taken care of by pressing TAB. that will display the grid and perhaps ease some of your frustration in...

Personally, with the distance between areas and the ability to quick travel, I think the current speed is just fine. Running from one end of a map to the other in seconds rather than the 2 minutes it takes now would feel wrong. Don't be in such a hurry to "beat" a game and enjoy the advent...

I have been playing an almost pure ranger and I am now level 5. At first money for arrows was tight, but now it's not too bad. I ran into the dark dungeon problem as well, so I took swords also for those dark places. I then took a splash of divine so I could heal and get cat's eye and now leatherski...

I also run a D&D campaign every other Saturday. This is something I miss dearly. But with my kids hitting 12 and 10 this year, I'm hoping to start up a regular D&D session for them and a few friends. Just have to brush up on the rules. :roll: My boys (17 and 13) Haven't shown any interest i...

I stumbled upon a link to the demo over at 1up.com under their PC game demo section yesterday. I had never heard of it and was mostly just boredom browsing. I was instantly hooked! Now just 2 hours into the game I have just bought the CD version (mostly for the digital world map). Thanks Basilisk fo...

Nice, there's quite a few of us here. I am 45 myself and I love gaming. I still go to a local shop a couple days a week and play all kinds of games with my friends, most of whom are quite a bit younger than me. I also run a D&D campaign every other Saturday. Trust me, getting older does not have...
