The interface is completely screwed up. Combat is a tediously long affair, with endless clicking here and there for the simplest moves. And, as an added bonus, when you have the upper hand and the enemy offers to surrender, and you accept the offer... guess what? Either the games crashes, or loads your last saved game! Unbelievable bad, right down there with "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (the movie). Compared with it good old Pool of Radiance is tops: wonderful interface, terrific combat rules, exciting story. And I sign: a very, very, very pissed-off gamer.
