Yesterday Brian Fargo took part in some Xbox Live Q&A and someone asked him about this. He suggested that new players start with the pre-configured party because creating / customizing your own characters could be overwhelming to begin with (so many choices).
Thanks. Not sure how the quirks thing works. Probably should read the manual.
I don't have a lot of time to screw with stuff as I grow older. Meaning I don't want to get the Ag center and realize my character choices are complete crap and I need to start over. Reading over things it sounds like the camera zoom is borked but they are working on it.
No biggie. Loved Wasteland on my C64. Loved Bards Tale...looking forward to the enhanced versions with the automap. This was my first Kickstarter.
