After reading all the complaints on the tech issues sub-forum, I was bracing for the worst. However, as it turns out, almost everything worked fine. Mouse works on the menus, no crashes so far, no texture issues or sound issues. It's not completely bug free, though, because my left hand (magic casting arm) sometimes stays extended even why I'm not casting anything.
Who else had their game run near flawlessly? Are we that lucky?
It seems to run fine here, but only about 7 or 8 hours into the game. The only issue that I have after 8 hours is that I'm still not getting used to the whole left and right hand stuff. Especially when it comes to hot keying (1 through 8, where is 9 and 0) spells, and weapons and then which hand they will appear in when I press the associated button on the number row of my keyboard.
For example if I have fire in my right hand and lightening in my left, and then press the key for my sword, it might take away fire in my right hand but in reality I wanted it to go to my left hand so that I still have fire available.
