About the slowdowns: on my Desktop I7 10th gen processor, slowdowns were rare on very specific points of the game, and software rendering fixed these as well. Since it can be done fly-by from PCSX2 in-game menu this really just a minor inconvenience. If you have a modern Intel PC this should not be a problem.
However on my 10 year old notebook which is already picky about PS2 games only Act 1 was played fullspeed, and software rendering was not really helpful. Between these two extremes, your mileage may vary.
Sorceress the best!
★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆
1. I'd recommend the play order of Archer -> Fighter -> Sorceress and play through those on Normal. There is no advantage to playing on Hard (at least regarding the RA set). Don't be turned off by the amount of playthroughs, once you've beat it once, subsequent playthroughs only take a few hours (if using some of my tips below).
2. As other have mentioned, Sorceress is best for the Extreme playthrough. Max Ball of Lighting first (which will make the beginning of the game very hard but it's worth it) then max Melf's Acid Arrow for the final boss in the Extreme playthrough (check out the tips on that achievement's page for help with that boss).
3. There is a way to exploit the "Change Players" option essentially allowing you to get free xp up to max whenever you'd like. Simply save before you do something that'll give you xp (like a quest turn in) in File 1, turn the quest in / beat the boss then save on a new file (File 2). Load File 1, go to "Change Players" and import your character from File 2, turn in quest / beat boss again, rinse and repeat.
Keep in mind that the game will reorder the save files by newest to oldest, so be careful when saving, loading and importing.
4. JUMP! Jumping in this game provides way more maneuverability, is faster than walking and negates any stagger from being hit with projectiles or poison. Put this on a turbo button for maximum effect. You'll be able to buzz through sections of this game in no time. I'd recommend turning the sound off for this... the jump sound can get annoying quick.
5. Load up on potions before you cross over from the Sinking Temple to the Onyx Tower (essentially the last part of Act 3 and the end of the game). Sleyvas, will sell to you before you cross this threshold and it's the only shop left in the game.
That's about it! Thanks for the set and good luck to all!
