I really am enjoying the game despite its glitches (everywhere),
occasional crashes, and the fact that my 486/66 can't handle moving
thru a city on a sunny day (I know, the last is my fault).

My main gripe is the useless automap.  I sit there for 10 minutes
staring at the thing, rotating, scrolling it this way and that (could
you scroll a little slower please?), and generally I can't make heads
or tails of it.  Oh sure I can click to make part disappear but it's
little help.   So like above poster I just wander around until I've
seen the corridors so many times I can't possibly get lost.  Related
to this is the sprawling dungeons.. I like the 3d-ness of them, but
just a little smaller would be nice.
