Beta testing style and experience by Jamie "Skyle" Clark


I play Blades of Exile mainly on a Windows 95 Cyrix 120 Mhz computer, but I
also have a Windows 98 SE AMD 433 Mhz computer.  Thus I cannot provide much
Macintosh help (such as creating graphical meg resource files or saved game
files).

My main testing strengths are at the technical and tactical level; solving
complex logic puzzles and long dialogues are not my forte.  I look closely at
spelling, grammar usage, and how space is used (I dislike large towns with
underused space or that could fit into medium towns).  Combat is not too
difficult for me, but there is always a twist.  Over time, I have lost some
patience and it is hard for me to observe the subtle aspects of some logic
puzzles.  Recently, it has been hard for me to follow through on npc dialogue
response clues.
