I was playing a magic user with a knife weapon, I found a Holy Avenger(nice sword) and put it in my second weapon slot put a disposable dagger in my primary weapon slot and my "Super Knife" in the third slot. When the disposable knife broke I was kicked out to windows. Later i tried several magic swords in the primary weapons slot they all kicked me out....
Lesson: Magic Users can't use swords
although with further testing nonmagic swords worked ok?????
It would be nice if the game simply would tell me nicely that I can't put a particuler weapon on a magic user or some other character and why doesnt the program produce a dump file or traceback when an error occurs, it sometimes seems that game programmers try to get away without putting error handling in their code, somthing that systems programmers or even buisness programmers would never get away with you should always write any kind of program assuming there will be errors, so that they will put out enough information to fix those same errors easily
