Love the character generation, basic game play and the rules. I haven't had any problems yet, and my Ironman menu (as previously mentioned) works just fine. It runs smooth, no lags - one of the best D&D games I've played thus far. Who knows, perhaps I'll run into some problems later...

Oh my God
this game could have been awesome, but there are some bugs that get SO FRUSTRATING that, while playing, you suddenly realize you're not having fun anymore, but instead you are trying to get around all the problems to win that impossible dungeon battle out of sheer hatred for your overpower enemies and reckless game producers.
I have a LAWFUL GOOD cleric, worshipper of Pelor (a Neutral Good god) and he spontaneously casts INFLICT WOUNDS SPELLS!!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???
I sure hope a patch is coming out. If it doesn't, damn it's gonna be a shame. The game just looks awesome... such a waste.
Highly anticipated....however TONS of BUGS!!!

Once I heard this was being released, I rushed to purchase it right away. I was rather disappointed with regard to the constant bugs and system crashes...Wait for the patch before purchasing...

What a frustration. There must be a patch out there I can't find. This game suffers from such slow game play it is a wonder it was ever released. Did any of the developers actually bother to play there finished product? Maybe so but it was too late to do anything about it by then. You will spend 90% of your time waiting in combat for your turn. Good luck with it.

I've really been enjoying this game. The only problem I've had so far was that I had to install it twice because the computer didn't read some stuff the first time. I've had no other bugs or problems so far. If you don't have XP then maybe you could, I can't say.
Other than that it ROCKS! The graphics are very well done, and the monsters are also very well rendered. The attention to detail was so awesome. They have bugs flying around and mice scurrying around on the floor of a dungeon. The torches look real with realistic flames and sparks! This is a turn-based RPG so please be advised. The battles go well, and it's so nice to be able to plan your attack. Sure it's slower, but then you can use proper formations and not end up with your wizard in the front or other frustrating things that happen in real time action.
I'm running this on my 900mhz AMD system with Windows XP, NVIDA4 420 with 64megs of ram, 512megs of ram and I'm set on 800x600 @16 bit and I've only gotten lag when facing many adversaries and it's still not too bad.
It's not fun if you can't play...

Geez, the only success you can have in this game is exploring the first town! How are you supposed to play if you can't survive? I understand (and am all for) a challenge, but come on...

I can't believe I paid $50 bucks for this game...it is slow, awkward, poor mouse response, and it takes forever to get anything done. Either you are walking around talking to other NPCs or you're fighting some impossible monsters. It is difficult to gather points for leveling up...and so it makes the whole thing seem just...endless.
I've been playing it now for approx 30 hours...thinking, this HAS got to get better. It never did. I uninstalled and moved on...I recommend you do the same.
You'll love it

If you like the real D&D rol playing game you are going to love this one.
Buggy, problematic, and addictive as heck!

Okay, so this game got pushed out the gate a bit on the early side, but despite some quirky behavior (e.g., crashing to desktop if your party uses the World Map while a bard's singing, monsters spawning inside walls, ranger's entangle spell working a bit TOO well, etc.), I've found this game to be an addictive squad-level tactical dungeon crawl where I've managed my fledgling party through some utterly hairy fights. On one hand, this game requires a much longer attention span than what I was accustomed with Diablo II, but on the other hand, the party development and melee combats make for some rewarding gameplay.
I suspect the diehard D&D-ers may balk at the questionable and/or buggy implementation of the pen&paper rules, but for someone whose last D&D rulebook was the early 80's AD&D Dungeonmaster's Guide, I'm still finding ToEE an enjoyable experience.
