Why Banzai I'm SHOCKED you suggest such a thing!  SHOCKED, I say.

Well I've begun clearing out the slums and the game is exactly as I remember it, but to be honest my memories wanted mouse support to be there.  It's not, but the game is still awesome.

I think my party breakdown is as follows:

Fighter - Human - male
Fighter - Dwarf - male
Thief - Halfling - male
Cleric - Human - female
Cleric/Magic User  - 1/2 Elf - female
Magic User - Elf - female

Now this is diversity!

Unfortunately, my AAR is a sausage-fest. When I played this game before I almost always made my Cleric and Mage a female, sometimes the Thief as well. Ah well...there's always the sequel.

Also, the menu navigation is something of a pain, but not terribly so. I remember being able to fly through menus using the arrow keys, but none of that works (not even the keypad) now. That's okay, I'll get used to it. I'm just happy it works!

If you're meaning me, don't worry, I will! I'll have it more loaded out later tonight and tomorrow. I want to shorten the posts up a bit as that first one was too long.

What the hell are you two on about?

Also, man that looks like some serious RPG-nerd goodness going on at GOG.  I really don't have the time, nor the need, for more games right now but damn.

Somehow I got ignored by banzai; no matter I'm clearing the slum with my own band of vagabonds...uh...heroes.  I meant heroes.

Well scheisse, Bison, I saw you post but didn't see that you said you wanted a spot. Sorry if I missed it.  :buck2:

It was a silent implied task!  Come I thought you could read minds!

On a semi more serious note: I instantly fell back into my habit from 25+ years ago and use colors to identify my characters/classes.  Soon the color becomes second nature.  Pink do I need to cast a heal?  And damn it why can't clerics use ranged weapons?!  Time to move in and hope she doesn't die.

I'm doing the same thing with colors.

Though I gotta remember that mirth's character is a fighter/mage. The dress-wearing makes me think the character is a mage so I don't move them near the front line. I gotta get over that.

Maybe change the icon to have a sword and shield with the dress?

I made one of my clerics with a crossbow, because I foolishly thought that they could use them.  Surprisingly thieves cannot use crossbow or bows, so I'm rocking the sling.  Very sad indeed.

I'll have to check tomorrow...I didn't think you could change the figure icons, except at the beginning when you're creating the characters.
