Your second question: also how playable is the original?
My answer: The original? Playable how? Well, the original seems to work fine in what comes to running, jumping, climbing, etc. I did not like the combat too much. Hitting the mouse button like crazy is not my thing. The game can be played to the end, so I guess it is fully playable.

how playable is the original in dosbox.. and i tried it and it doesnt work very well.

A statement from you: from what i can tell they havent got combat working but most of it works.
My comment: Wha? What are you talking about? Combat is fully working in U8. It's an ugly combat system, but I guess that's all Origin could come up with those jerks in EA pressing and hurrying the release.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
that was about pentagram. i dont see on their page that its finished yet and thats what i took to understand the status of pentagram at the moment.

Your third question: the pictures on the site are they as of current version? if so its got a bit more to go
My answer: What site? The official U8 site? I guess some are from Lost Vale, the others I don't know. What do you mean it's got a bit more to go? They are done with U8. No more work on it will come out.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
the pictures on the pentagram site. they show eggs and active parts of the screen and objects. not what you would normally see in normal play.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Your fourth question: are they going to have a cheat system like they had in U7+.5 ?
My answer: There IS a cheat system in U8.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
i was talking about the pentagram project. are they going to have cheats like the exult program does.
>>>>>>>>>>>>
A statement from you: i like editing my stats to the cap so i have much less to worry about
this would be great.. never managed to finish it when i got it because it seemed like stats were too fricking hard to gain and then because the add-on and then frustration with UO interfering with U8 and U9.
My comment: Fricking hard to gain? That's a very wussy comment. I beat U8 with no cheating at all, and with my stats maxed out, and I never "trained". My stats grew at a rate suitable for me to max them out near the end. Before getting the Ethereal Travel spell, I had max stats.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
thats the diff between you and i... i played u8 when it first came out and i found it hard to gain skills. that and pre-patch jumping and such was a real pita and stats determined jumping ability. havent really tried post patch and was waiting for pentagram to be finished to try.
so as i said i wasnt very clear on what i said.
Thanks!!
