I have a:
XP 2600+
1 GB RAM DDR PC 3200
ATI 9600 AIW

so my setup is pretty similar. It gets slowed down at times and I have to play in 800x600 but overall it could be worse. During combat, framerates drop to the high teens. It all depends on what you can tolerate.

I'm loving this game. I've been playing with an entirely different strategy than I used to with MW. In MW, I'd charge headfirst into combat and trade blows with people. I got owned a few times doing this by Deranged Zombies and groups of goblins so I've resorted to trying to use a sneak attack (now at 3x damage) with my bow (sometimes with a poisoned arrow). Then I'll keep spraying them with arrows or spells till they get close. Once we get to melee, their health is pretty low.

I'm at level 7 and I just cleared out this vamp lair. Usually I'd kill the regular vamps with them only getting a couple of shots off at me. I also took out a vampire patriarch, he was a bad mofo. Each melee attack would take about 20% of my health but I kicked his ass by backpedaling and throwing fireballs at him. I got a nice set of heavy armor from him.

Now if you are a guild member, you can take pretty much anything inside the guild, does this count for what is in the locked cases? There is a glass sword in a case in a fighters guild and I want it.

Sneak kicks ass, I never used it in MW, it's really easy to raise skill points in it. Find someone who is sleeping and stand on the other side of the wall and walk into the corner. You can get about a point per minute.
