In PoE, it seemed like once you were past first level, there was little to distinguish between the different races. I mean, sure, they had altered attributes and a talent, but after that there was nothing specific to each race; the spells, skills, talents, equipment, deities, and classes all worked the same (as far as I know). At least in D&D-based games you had race-specific prestige classes and magic items. Drakensang, for example, had some significant differences in spells and classes. I'd like to see some of that unique flavor and depth brought to PoE2. Okay, so probably the developers don't want to have items, spells, or talents that only work for specific races. But what about a racial bonus or penalty? A dwarven-made magical battle axe could have some special attribute bonus that only works for mountain dwarves, for example, or an boreal bow could have a hindrance when used by fire godlikes. If just 10% of items, talents, and spells had some racial modifier, wouldn't it add a lot of distinctiveness?

This isn't a good argument for a cap of six on the party, since the same argument can be made for seven, or eight, or even twelve (eleven companions/sidekicks in the game). Moreover it ignores the fact that the game is balanced (however poorly) around the party cap: raise the cap to six then anyone who takes five will be at a disadvantage. The key factor is whether the game uses RtWP or turn-based. Seven character parties work fine in ToEE and Wasteland 2. RtWP is better with small teams because party management doesn't scale well in that mode.

Ahehehe... good one.

I particularly liked the water running down the statue effect. Wish I could stop the action to get a closer look.

Dogs I can believe -- after all, they are trained by humans and can pick up on those owner biases. But yeah, the last one is just silly.

Hey...

Okay, that is funny. I guess it's funny in the sense that it's true. We're wired for cognitive bias as a survival trait.

Ever heard of Haumea, Quaoar, or Makemake?
