The longer I play the game the slower the game gets. Trying to run in Verditis with the entire map uncovered is like trying to run trough a vat of molasses with this evening being the worse. The game would pause for 3 or 4 seconds every 5 seconds when trying to move from Sir Patrick's house to the Inn. I have this same problem in the Dwarven halls. When I first started playing the game everything moved pretty fast.
My system configuration is as follows:
Full Installation
AMD 1ghz processor
512 MB ram
Windows XP
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 graphics Card
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer Sound card
