cool game, all 23 hours of it I'll look forward to playing with patch 1.03 in a couple months when I go through with an archer build.

I'm around 23 hours (with my first char) and still don't think I've reached halfway. Hmmmm…..

I gotta try to finish it today finally. *graps a coffee*

I really like this and am so enthusiastically waiting for the Mac version as well!

could have been 25, but ya, I'm not lying about it, and I got all three endings, and cleared every quest, so, despite me loving it, I thought it was a pretty short rpg.

Have any of these patches improved the movement rates or added keyboard controls?

No.

Actually, one control was added: hitting 'x' will open all 3 char windows; inventory, paper doll and stat sheet. hitting 'x' again will close them all as well.

Hah, that's pretty nice.
