I can run it.
however i get quite a few messed up 2d images that result in making it unplayable.

not that I enjoyed it much anyway.

character creation isnt as free as i id orginally thought.
basicly.

infact its so damn restrictive.

if you want to be a a character to appears black your basicly stuck being a certain race from a certain region.

and all elves are white apparently.

just becuase it lets you have darkskin doesnt necessarily mean you can have brown eyes. oh no, quite a few restrict you to only blue or green.

then the hair styles are all pretty much straight hair styles with very few exception.

in the end...

you wanna be black your looking at being a drawf with either bald or with a classic mr.T mohawk. aka barret (2.0)

in addition to these limitations...
certain races just can NOT be certain classes.
for example, elves cant be theifs.



hopefully I dont have this problem in conan. considering James earl jones played a lead role in the first movie and grace jones played a badass in the 2nd.
