Menzo is definitely better than Ravenloft (A game which I thought was
HIGHLY over-rated).  Combat, graphics, and all that jazz is all improved.
If you are an avid reader of R.A Salvatore's novels, however, I would
recommend you stay away from this one.  It is a little hokey and most
definitely does not capture the true "Coolness" of his books (one of the
main reasons I purchased the thing).

You can only make the standard AD&D races when you make your characters.
The centaur is an NPC.
