I have to agree with the previous review. After the Balder's Gate series (1+2+Throne of Bhaal) and the IceWind Dale set, this game is a disappointment. I have not experienced any crashes on Windows ME, but the bugs are just too frustrating. The scrolling of the screen is too slow. The comments made by the previous reviewer are spot on with regards to graphics, combat and character generation. I only gave 2 stars because the bugs prevent me from seeing more of the game. Anybody reading this should hold out for the patch first. The crashes must be due to Windows XP(extra problems!), but the bugs are very unprofessional for a first release. Come on guys, you cannot even complete first level quests due to bugs... how much beta testing does it take to discover that? Shame on you Atari. I remember TOE from D&D all those years ago, hence the interest. What a shame. Tis a few steps backwards from BG1+2, IWD1+2 and NWN.
