Well,
	after a completing the first dungeon in BTIII, I can say,
I'm not impressed. The spellcasting interface sucks. Scrolling
through a list of spells is pathetic. The characters take forever
to have their images loaded, (I assume that is what is taking the
most time when you select a character to view.) and the images
are pretty poor. (At least compared to BTI & II). ANd there are
many other little things like that.

	It seems that the chances of an encounter are MUCH greater
here than in BTI & II. In the first dungeon, I probably spent 95%
of my time just fighting. Does this get any better. The dungeons
weren't hard, but PAINFUL.

Why can't special characters carry items ? They could in BTII.

The hard disk installation is far from smooth, if you don't have
CLI/ENDCLI. 

Yes it does run smoothly on a hard disk,  and apparently
takes advantage of extra memeory, but I can't say much more for it. 
All this is great, except the games not very playable, compared
to either BTI or II.

Please tell me I'm missing something. I wonder if EA would take change requests.
