Limitation brings forth the option of magical bows with unlimited ammo like in BG2.
Also, with limitation, it would nice to have the option to recover some of your arrows. Especially magical ones that shouldn't break as easy as normal ones.

I'd go with shaman. I consider a druid a shapeshifter.

It would be nice to be able to play a rotund character that isn't a dwarf for a change
I love custom portraits very much!

Obsidz has already said that you get to choose between STEAM or no for the hard copy. I'm going for STEAM, but you won't be forced to do so. In fact, I'm going to look for it now.****! Does this confirms physical copies are DRM free too then?
That means I'm gonna up my pledge <.<
EDIT: here you go! :Cant's cheerful smile icon:
Thanks! Awesome!

Pretty cool.
Would still like another playable race or two, and to know if the hard copy will have drm or not.
Hard copy is DRM free.
YES!

The Planescape: Torment ones had the best effects ever. In fact, I haven't seen a single game since then that made magic look nicer.

I'm pretty sure that's not the direction this game is going toward.

Yep, seems like we got enough classes, especially the addition of cipher adds nice variety.
Wouldn't mind 1-2 more races though

They can sure add flavor to the game-world and lore if appropriate.
Fit nicely to Fallout. Even soft drinks and alcohol can be addictive
-
I find it more realistic if the NPC auto level himself. However, in most games auto-leveled NPCs aren't really smart.
A nice alternative to complete control would be just having an influence on the direction the NPC should go to, so you can fit him to different kind of parties in different play-throughs.

Is it just a little little bit too early to be talking about expansions? o.O
-
Well, I didn't want the 2.4 goal. Tough luck

I'm content, so I would only vote for another (PC) race or two
-
Still waiting for an answer on that as well.

Well the spell system sure sounds like something new, so that works for me.
Overall good combat update.
-
You sir, have just made me want to replay those games.
-
If they will be text only like Fallout, and with an option to to toggle them like Fallout, then yes.
Problem: Real time combat...
BTW! You're examples aren't combat taunts at all, they're just pip-boy descriptions o.o

That's the nice thing about the memorization system. A mage, like a warrior, preparing himself for a specific scenario.
Doesn't work much in computer games that you have no way to get info on your next location.
To make it work in computer games, some adjustments are needed.

What's the difference between Arcanum and ToEE? Both are turn based no?
There should be a mana based option, without cooling, but with other stuff.
-
Eeew crafting.
I hope it at least going to be skill related, rather than have everyone in the world a chemist all of a sudden.

I like the Vancian system but it needs a lot of lore around it to fit a setting (e.g. I liked how it was explained in the DragonLance novels).
Regardless of how much I like it, it fails in computer games, because there's no place for most spells at all. Even a lot of spells that did make it to BG2 are useless (BG1 was small scale anyway). Most use was combat oriented spells.
This brings me to another point, no matter what magic system they end up using, I hope they but general and toolkit spells in and have a use to them! Really, I think the Quest for Glory series had the best variety of useful magic.
A Mana system could work, in my opinion, if it doesn't regenerates. Combine it with the elements from Vancian, that you'd have to rest to recover your "mana". It also doesn't have to recover fully! It should be like health, making you think carefully about how you use it, without having to memorize specific spells.
A systems like ad&d sorcerer could also work. Having a certain amount of spells you can cast from each "power level".

It kinda sounds the exact opposite of RP, so the topic is wrong.
A warrior shouldn't care how is armor looks but how good it is in keeping us alive. That's roleplaying a warrior.
"Roleplaying" your ugly armor is beautiful doesn't sound so valid to me.
(Indifferent toward the idea itself, but at least make your point valid)

It's is such a computer classic, I would love to see an updated version of it in PE.
