Ah, right, so you can only save saves - as it were - with Steam hosted games, and not use it for other game saves like Neverwinter Nights, say? (An old favourite)

OK so I downloaded this Steam thing in order to get a demo for another game too, but I'm not sure what Steam is. I'm thinking it's, at 1.5mb, some kind of slimmed down GameSpy? No? Some sort of download manager? Hmmm. Why not just have the website with the downloadable trial demos already, instead of going through this having some software on your PC to get software middleman? Am I being thick or what? :-D

It's intuitive to click outside a window to close it too - having to click on a relatively small green circle with a tick in it gets pretty old, particularly when your mouse isn't the highest DPI.

I guess if you're patient to be a bit of a wheeler dealer, you can note who is dear/cheap and trade accordingly, though is the game economy that sophisticated in terms of buy low sell high?...

Just to be clear, it's not so much the looting she gets annoyed at, but the 'poking around in my private quarters', so don't trip the daemon alarm/trap by going in the room more than a few steps. Even if you stole nothing, she'd still be irritated. Maybe cos you snuffed her pet daemon. :-)

Hell, yeah..backstabbing FTW :-)

Moving those little icons around manually is just so clumsy. Key + click is no good for disabled players. I've no practical motor control of my left wrist and fingers, this means I can either use the k/b or the mouse but not simultaneously. Alternatives should be provided like mappable mouse buttons, double clicking, etc. Auto arrange button would be cool. Adjustable pathfinding nodes a la Icewind Dale. Adjustable HUD transparency. Battle anims on/off performance tweak. Environment anims on/off or complexity performance tweak.

Adding information to a thread that's been dead for several months isn't helpful because the question has been resolved and the original poster long gone. Thanks. Dikiyoba. I don't know if the person originating the point is gone or not. It could be ventured that a post cannot be "dead", as it were, as long as there are newer players of the game encountering the same problem or offering differing pov on the issue.

Ah, found a trapdoor that leads to an unexplored cavern of rainbow lizards to the east of the maze...hmm...aha! it leads directly under the river to the right bank...

EDIT: Nope, the woods aerea to the NE is inaccessable, and when I manage to open a tempremental trapdoor (a random game annoyance needs fixing) to get me to the northern maze, hedges block the way on the east side of that section.

Takes a few days to beat it the first time? I've had it for two weeks and I'm still not anywhere finding the shadowbeast after it ran off the second time...
