Well, this failed right at the start. I was creating my Bg 2 char and all went well on my samsung galaxy tab, right until I had to enter a name. No keyboard appeared so I was unable to do so, and I couldn't continue.

...i can play but not enjoy! -scrolling needs more options: autoscroll. -exiting menus easier. -Option to size fonts. -alternative way to navigate talk options.

Took a full day to load and tweak, finally got it working. Still trying to make "highlight containers" work. I love this classic game but it really wants a mouse sometimes. Awesome port!

Runs Icewind Dale with some Config editing, but everything is super tiny and hard to be precise with clicks. I know there is a touch pad mode, but I would prefer some kind of selective magnify (like chrome when links are too small and dense)
