Well, I broke down and bought Bard's Tale II.  So far, after one
evening's play, the game looks fine. Like the original, of course,
it's slower than molasses in January, from constantly loading up
all those little pictures (oops, forgot, er, "graphics" 8-)

Soooo,... tonight I'll start experimenting with ways to speed it up.
I'd also appreciate any help anyone out there may care to offer.

My system is an Amiga 2000 with 2 megs of expansion RAM. I'm operating
under 1.2 (out here in the sticks (! ? ) most of us are *still* waiting
in line as 1.3 trickles in... another reason to hate California), and
have FaccII.  Happily, the game disk is not copy protected  (wow !,
thanks, EA !).

My first guess would be to copy the entire game disk to RAM: and assign
"Bard's Tale 2 Game disk" (or whatever the disk's name is) to RAM:
Naturally, the character disk must be left as is, so you can save your
game. Has anyone tried this ?
