I'm using P4 with ProPack. (Two 10 year olds keep causing me to spend the money I keep trying to save up for upgrading...) Okay, darker background ; I'll experiment with a castle ; and I'll try to get better reflection / metal-ness for the armor and weapons. I'll try the other recommendations as well. Thank goodness I keep incremental saves - wm1, wm2, etc. Again, Thanks all! And when I get home tonight I'll give some things a try.
