Hi, The one problem I am really, (I say really becase I have started to get use to it) panning in the game is when I am trying to fight something like a centaur with the sword. The sword used to be an ok weapon, especially once you upgraded it a little, but now it is virtually useless.

Hello, I'm sorry. Though I read so many mails saying different stuff about different things though with the same subject line, I was a little bit confused. I do understand, and I can live with it. I was just finding it a little bit odd. The problem with the panning surtenly doesn't make the game less enjoyable.
