I've been playing all the way through from BG (which I never played before) and now am in the middle of SI (finished SS already). I have noticed a few problems.
1. In Silver Seed: Monsters regenerate wayyyy too quickly. I'm not done killing half the automatons in Aram-Dol's lair when they all suddenly regenerate. Seems to happen with every monster in Silver Seed (haven't killed a great deal in SI yet, so don't know there). You kill something, it regenerates literally seconds later.
2. Not all the keys show up where they're supposed to be, and when they do, sometimes they don't work. I encountered this in the Test of Courage in SI and also in SS after killing the three witches. I got keys from all three witches, but the doors to the Silver Seed area wouldn't unlock. I had to resort to hackmove to get past the doors. This also happened when I talked to Marsten to free Iolo. He said, "Here is the key", but no key showed up in my pack, and I had to hackmove the door off then back on again to get Iolo out. (If I only took it off, Iolo still acted like he was in jail...putting the door back on after taking it off seemed to "unlock" it.)
3. This one is from BG, which seemed to have a lot fewer issues than SI generally: Are the Lich Lords supposed to be able to cast that fast/kill you in a fraction of a second? I and my characters were seriously strong and had all the magic stuff, and yet it was not possible to get past the liches without cheating. I understand the lich casts some sort of death spell, (killed me even when I test-cheated my HP up to 255
) but there should be at least a second or two where you have the chance to run up and stab the crap out of him before he can get the spell off. I know liches are SUPPOSED to suck, but running into three of them who kill you instantly in the same area isn't much fun. Give the players a chance. Other than that, great game interface! I never thought I'd be able to play U7 in windows. You guys are amazing.
