Planescape: Torment had noticable pauses on my Athlon 800MHz with 128MB of memory when scrolling. That's because you're moving around on one giant bitmap instead of on reusable tiles.

Saying tile based is like the Build engine whereas the One Giant Bitmap design is like the Quake3 engine shows your complete lack of understanding of the subject. Writing an engine that uses one big bitmap is MUCH easier. You're only showing one graphic and moving and scrolling it.
 
Now posting my opinion, that's I'm doing. So what is so wrong about saying the negative aspects of a game. The way I see it, the more people complain about a game, the more developers know where to improve on the game. If no one ever complained about a single game in the first place then we would still be playing Pong on the over sized console. (Not that Pong sucks)
Also, why would I kill myself over a bad DEMO of a game that I didn't even pay for? If that's what you would do then I suggest serious mental help, and you might stray away from any recent games you might have been playing lately.
Finally, I never out right said I hated Baldur's Gate. In fact I believe it's a decently made RPG game just with a weakly made story line, and I have no idea what those books have to relate to the story.

In closing, you make no sense, and what does "If you have I doubt you have this blind rage to the Baldur's Gate system." mean?

Sorry you feel that way.

Agreed, this is currently broken. We're working on it.

We're still tweaking some of the Perks. The Doctor and First Aid skills will probably get a little more tweaked. It is a concern.

We're trying to improve the interface, and that means we have to make changes.

The text screen is still there, click on the toggle button next to the tactical map on the interface bar. In my opinion, it should default to the text screen.

Pause and Issue Orders will be in the final game.

I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about. The final does have more death animations, but I think you're talking about the Player Dead end screens. I think...

Yes, it's broken.

I'll see about increasing the speech radius.

Not appropriate to the game. Especially with no dialogue trees. They would have been very expensive resource wise to create with limited payback. Unfortunately. I like them a lot.

We just disagree here... :)

>But the developer probably say, "But

>only a fragment of it."

The demo is a small fragment, but that doesn't excuse all of the problems with the demo. Some we knew about before we shipped the demo (moving up and down ladders, for example, no pause and issue orders), but other comments have been very helpful.

Nice quote.

Your a very mean person! I hope you burn dammit!

In conclusion *raises finger* Uhhh.. Quit y0 bitchin!
Im going now. Cya.
 
Yet another that cannot stand a differing viewpoint. (nt)
