Okay, so I figure I'm going to try out FotD. Not sure how long the urge to play BG1 will last, but we'll see.
First, though, I'd like to offer some feedback and ask a few questions.
Are there any plans to make certain components optional? The poison one in particular, I think, could/does seriously unbalance the game. Hobgoblin elite were bad enough with their arrows that did 1 damage/second to begin with, but you might as well have arrows+15 on them now. I know you're probably adamant about changing this, because I've seen other discussions between you and someone who disagrees with something like this, but the ability to opt out would be nice.
Then there's the store buy/sell ratios. I don't know how a store that works on a 110% sell rate vs. 90% buy rate could stay in business. As an example, there's an awesome record store in Calgary called Recordland. They buy CDs for like a buck, and sell 'em back at $10-12. This could be reflected by a 75% sell rate, and 10% buy rate. Stores that sell stuff brand new, like a smithy, wouldn't buy stuff from you to begin with.
So far that's it for things I think could change for the better or at least be offered as a compromise.
Then there's bugs. Are there any that have a work-around I should use? Are there bits of the game I should avoid?
Oh, and one last question, are the items that've been repositioned fixed, or are they random with each new game I start?
