  No, everything you said is correct. BT III has many unpleasant
features that will discourage most of the players from playing it. Maybe
we should gently point all this out to EA (we mustn't dishearten them
from releasing other products!).

  Personally, I'm still playing...

   And regarding the frequency of the encounters, you should consider
asking a bard to play the song #2. It will give you a little more
freedom to move.
