Hi Yaaj,
The skills you mentioned:
Aura of Command
Repair
Sword Expert
Augment Damage
Resurrect
-are skills I use quite extensively throughout the game and to date cannot fault them. I do admit that the game is buggy (scripting and a few suspect crashes) but on the whole the game has been stable and compelling enough for me to persevere. Thankfully I bought the game after patch 1.34 was released so I can't begin to imagine what like was life before :P
As with any PC game in development, it's pretty difficult for the developer to cater for all the combinations of system configurations out there given the broad standards that are in place. I sympathise especially for PC developers (especially debut ones at that) in that regard and it's no surprise that there are stories of developers flocking to the next generation consoles.
Anyway, Yaaj, it's good to see people like you keeping the publishers on their toes. Ultima 9, Temple of Elemental Magic, Myth Drannor were disasters and were released knowingly to the public and that is unexceptable. I don't think CDV and my good mates at Larian Studios are in that category though :P
I am not really enthused about the ethos of releasing a piece of software now and patching it up later. I'd rather see a company released a final, stringently tested, stable working build even if it means delaying the game for a few months.
There's so many unknown facets to this, it's really hard to get a clear picture.
Meh, I'm just thinking out loud.
edit: spelling
