Freedom to roleplay has nothing to do with spamming 50 traps at once. But you do have the freedom to type iroll20s into the console, which is the equivalent. Hyperbole is real with this one.

It s not your place to judge how someone wants to play. Players need freedom to roleplay.

This is already in the game. You just need to have these skill points on separate characters. Hoy joyful... instead of one skilled engineer we have full squad of PhDs and tons of completely unnecessary play with equipment slots. A solution to a problem that doesn't exist. And here you are whining over people wanting to have zero challenge that doesn't exist, which if present, could be easily avoided. GG.

So you want to add a completely unfun feature like encumbrance yet limiting traps is not ok. Haha. Traps are useful free damage as is and if you want to spam 6 of them (which will completely win 95% of the encounters in game) take mechanics all on your party members. If you want to spam 30 traps then mod. People proposed elegant solution where you can put more traps if Mechanics level is high enough. Also if, god forbid, we would have the freedom to use items we gather as we please there is a simple solution for you to avoid spamming traps to have "zero challenges" skirmishes... Just don't do it Crazy idea, I know xD

At some point in history 3D was just in demand. GTA 2 had problems because it was not 3D while competition made that jump. imho fall of cRPGs is separate matter that just happen more less at the same time. Anyway I am glad to live in the times where there is little something for everyone: Pillars of Eternity, Shadowrun <3

Don't forget music. Not only it is poor (why, on good old earth, they didn't stick with gentle theme we can hear in first few seconds)... it also restarts after every load

To have a lot of cash you need to: 1. Play with that unlimited space easy access storage (because I do not believe anyone would go back for 5p junk) 2. Do all quests 3. Murder everything Then sell all you collected, every shop has unlimited monies after all. But you are right of course. Upgrading keep should be worth something. Investing in it should at least leave you with tons of cash. Well, at least one can count for achievements on Steam, right? Right?! Well, they refuse to kick in, at least for me Interesting thing, I have one for finishing Act II but nothing for Act I, my character has some serious powers :D As for possible add-on.... I seriously hope it will be after the main adventure instead of BioWare's Mass Effect parody, where they just put additional stuff under main story's skin... including having a party while whole universe burns.

Yeah, but traps in BG were a skill, here they are an actual object. And very often not a cheap one.

Those are fortune gods laughing at as

Would be nice, as long as it is not Skyrim-like romance. - Heey, check out this pretty necklaces I have, wanna be my wife? - Okay! [black elf wife acquired] xD BG2 romances were actually very good. Different levels of complexity, chances to screw up and so on.

I agree... they ain't for free after all.

This quest is just badly written. I mean, Knights patrolling the lake attack you on sight? wtf?! Who even does that? They don't know you, there is no crime to be around those ruins. They should throw some kind of warning your way, send you back to their stronghold or whatever. Gladly, so far, it is the only quest with troubles.

Yeah, firearms in this game are awesome! If Tolkien lived longer we could see some in Middleearth. https://youtu.be/j__NeCooKJk

It actually is the part of at least one quest.

My biggest WTF moment was when I realized it can affect units which fly or have no material body to speak of Also spiders should be immune.
