Yay! After a pretty large (but not hard) fight I got the Xanathar key. Unfortunately one of my party members died in the process (I hate the hold person/instant kill combo). Oh well. I decided to forge on ahead nonetheless..
Piece of cake. A few well placed lightning bolts and game over for Xanathar. (yes, the Beholder).

I ended up enjoying this game mainly due to nostalgia for RPGs of old. (Bards Tale and the SSI Gold Box series). It was ok. I enjoyed it even though it has some annoyances I got over eventually.

Signing off...

I love those old RPGs too. The old AD&D RPGs were really great. I never got into EOTB though, mainly because of the interface problems you mentioned. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime though.

I kind of hope they'd re-release the old Bard's Tale games...but rose-tinted glasses can change things a lot. :-)
