Good question. If Im working with a good character/team then stealing by default is prohibited. Unless the story, conditions warrant it. In ad@d Im typically neutral good alignment, which tends to carry over to just about any rpg. If my character/group happens to be evil, well it all depends. Often items available for stealing particularly at the start or early levels of the game are transparent options for power gamers. As such while their may be no ethical quandries for this course of action, extraneous considerations (e.g. challenge) may inhibit these activities.

as a rule, humans should never have the means to engage dragons. With respect to conventional definitions of the nature and power of the differing species it is nothing but egotistical to assume humans (the mortal kind at least) have a chance. It would be more consistent and less infantile if dragons were something of an assured death event. As such only the brave or exceedingly foolish and likely both would actively seek them out. This is not to say all dragons are evil, but as a whole they prefer to be left alone to begin with. I'll cease rambling.

No what I mean is even taking into account the slightly of centre view, my character will still walk 'diagonal'. To avoid confusion this problem does not happen in Avernum 3 where my direction keys and correspnding actions are in sync. Whereas Avernum 1 & 2 both have this diagonal walking problem.

Hello, simply enough my keyboard direction keys dont seem to function properly. They operate as though Im moving diagonal to the direction I intend.
