Well I've just started the game in ernast.  I seem to have run into a problem though.  My mage seems to be emitting ice and I can't get him to stop!  It's not a big deal though I wish he wouldn't do it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Icy weapons spell?  To deactivate it and save on the upkeep mana, simply click on the skill again.  It should cease having the glowing/illuminated look of an active ability to it if done correctly.  If you wish to reactivate it, simply click on it once again.

Wouldn't that which is better for you in the long-run by definition be the individualist option? That which is better for the person making the choice, I mean. The immediate, gratifying one is more like the short-sighted option. The difference is not in what is good for you, but in what you perceive is good for you.
Yeah, that is probably a better way of looking at it.  What is "true" isn't as important as what you perceive as true.

It's a glitch.  Saving and reloading fixes it.

Ah.  PC glitch?  I am wondering if/when they'll update/patch things for people like Martinus and I on the 360. :(

I'll tell you I really like this game.  Just talking to the NPCs is a treat.  Excellent writing and voice acting so far.  I am a mage and loyal to the chantry and the circle.  I try to make decisions that an idealized version of me would do.  Respect authority, treat others with mercy, but wary of demons.

Yeah, the voice acting is really good.  I usually dislike voice in games because I think it limits the amount of dialogue compared to using only text,  but they obviously put a lot of work into conversations and voice, you don't get the same half dozen people repeating the same lines over and over again like in some games.

I am going to restart a game al;ong these very same lines, and see if I can get past the ennui of the midgame by exploiting the roleplaying element (which isn't strong, IMO, as the game is designed).  As you say, the voice acting is excellent.

Is there voice acting for the player's main character?

It always drove my ex-wife crazy that the NPC's would talk in games like KOTOR but the main character was all text based.

No, main character does not speak.  It wouldn't really be practical in this game.

I prefer that my guy stays silent anyway, I don't want to choose a line of dialogue then watch it play back.

Its pretty uncommon for the main character to speak in games like that. The only ones I can think of that I've played would be the later Final fantasy games. I think in the Gothic series the main character says when you select, but I agree with DP, its better he/she just STFU.
