Hello all. New to the forums and this game. I actually bought it years ago (2004?) and kind of forgot about it - never played it. Stumbled across it the other day cleaning out some boxes and decided to give it a go. I was pleasantly surprised! The hack n' slash fun of Diablo II with the character development, depth and humor of and Elder Scrolls game (pretty close). Even with just 2D graphics (which are very well done) I'm enjoying it a lot and finding it very addictive. Since it's been out so long I'm finding a lot of good tips and "caveats" here in the forums and my warrior seems to be doing well (level 12 after about 10 hours of play). Only really question I have (and it maybe should be posted in Hints) is should I pursue the Lockpicking skill? Will it gimp my game not to have it as time goes by? Anyway, kudos to Larian for this hidden gem of a game that I discovered very late!
