Elder Scrolls: Arena...

[Ming Hao Ho]

Hi, is this game really out or what? Some people were saying that it's
been released in Europe already. Aren't there any European subscribers
to this newsgroup?
Will the game support keyboard motion and actions?
I hate playing games that require you to do everything by mouse!

Yes, the game is out. It does support keyboard actions. Its pretty much
like the demo. But it NEEDS lots of power if you want the highest resolution.
I am using a 486 DX2 66 and I can tell a SIGNIFICANT deifference in speed when
playing in highest resolution and lowere reesolution. BTW the game is 21 meg
when installled and no small install routines.

I'm pretty embarrassed to be asking for help after one day of play,
but...

I'm trying to win the Test Of Knighthood. I've gotten to what looks
like the last "phase" of the Test, where you enter the tiny maze with
the claw & the assassin. I've killed the assassin, and used the claw
on myself, but I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I spent nearly 3
hours trying silly stuff to see if anything would make a difference.
No such luck.

Any help would be appreciated... thanks!

Go south after the last door you came through to the area where the assasin
came from. Single click along the west wall until you see "Wall". I believe
there are torches near it. Normal walls are identified as "wall", while
secret doors are identified as "Wall"(Just in case you didn't know). Just
double click on the "Wall" and you'll be on your way.

Near where the assassin appears, there is a secret door (looks like a wall)
which lies between 2 particularly close torches. Double click on it to
proceed to the ash.

Yep, it's out. And as for as I know it has no keyboard motion.
And it's kinda slow, You need at least an 486/33.

No, it hasn't been released in the Netherlands yet. Still waiting for
it to happen.......

I don't know if it's out in Europe yet, but I did pick it up here.
It supports keyboard & mouse, it's a great looking game, but it's
frigging slow on my 486 33 w/8mb's. Too slow to appreciate, even
playing with the detail controls. And the control, ie; fighting
is very sluggish. Without doubt, I much more prefer Underworld.
Although on a quicker system, I think the game would be great.
Right now I feel kinda ripped. Bethesda software has a knack for
making GREAT looking products, but slow engines(?!?).
