I was shopping for another title during lunch. What's your assessment so far, Mr. Bender ? ^_^
Are the bugs fixed already ?

Save often.

The codex implementation sucks more and more as the game goes (PS3 version) - finding anything new in the long lists is impossible as the highlighting disappears when you scroll over it but you cannot see the item until it scrolls on screen. I also find it pretty confusing with you get an alert after a conversation with a party member that says "skill acquired" but no indication of what this skill is or how to look up the details. (or even what member got the skill).
I also wish there was a tactic of "run away" when team members get hurt. Too often they seem to just let themselves get hammered to death instead of just moving away for a minute.
That all said, I'm like 40+ hours in so I must be enjoying it.
=)

I have several middling complaints about the game, but considering I had clocked just about 105 hours in it when I finally completed it they obviously weren't game breakers.
One of the most nagging issues for me, however, would be the inability to easily identify fallen comrades in battle (when casting Revive). Particularly when there are several slain foes on the field. It just seemed like an odd oversight to me (especially given the long cool down time for Revive, making a miss quite damaging). Or perhaps there is an easy way that I'm overlooking?
Oh, and the ability to queue multiple commands per person with the radial menu open (console version) would also be nice.

Yeah, a bit of a step-backwards from KotOR... I get the feeling they were trying to emphasize the use of the tactics scripting, but that's a rather one-size-fits-all approach that they may have wanted to reconsider for consoles given the controls...
On console.
Oh, right.

I am now 15 hours in: elf magician.
Already found my first specialization: Arkane Warrior.
Question: what is the best (second) specialization that fits to Arkane Warrior?
The game really has a lot of dialogue, and unfortunately you really have to be carefull what you answer or ask (I constantly have the feeling that I did it wrong)...so it takes a lot of time to listen/read all the stuff!
I am now at level 11 and unfortunately lost Wynne (my healer): thus for me combat is really difficult and challenging...and my team member really die often during battle.
Some hints for effective battling with the (arkane warrior) magician would be very helpfull and appreciated (usually I cast inferno and then I cast electric storm and run away from the enemies
).
All in all, the game is somehow really special...thinking about it I would right away say its average...but it happend yesterday, that I started the game at 10 in the evening and played straight to 6 in the morning without checking one time the watch - this doesn't happen to often to me and my conclusion is that despite the really 'slow' gameplay, the game itself is addicitive and somehow phantastic!!

I also had an Elf Mage, with Arcane Warrior specialization. Strangely enough, Spirit Healer worked really well for me as a 2nd specialization. All Combat Magic buffs, plus Cleansing Aura was quite effective for my play style. However, I also had Wayne there, focused on healing, for the larger battles (like the final battle).
