Since Quick Save has its own mechanic (f5), as does Auto Save, why do they even need to be listed? As tinysalamander suggested, they could be put under their own tab with the normal saves as the default. I would just like a quicker normal save process: esc, click, click, click, done.

I too enjoyed the wound system in Drakensang. A benefit of that approach is that medical supplies such as bandages became useful, even during combat.

Why not just turn the god-like heads into a unique "soul-bound" items that can't be unequipped? Their level up goals can be made deity specific.

Survival skills provide a chance to scavenge up extra camp supplies. Each time a camp supply is used, check cumulative skill levels for percentage odds to scavenge a replacement.

When I do a (non-quick) save, the list of save files comes up with the stack of quick save and auto save files at the top. This forces me to scroll down every time to where I put my normal saves. Can the quick/auto-save entries be put at the bottom?

To me what the monster lore books provided was nuanced information. Yes, you may have killed it a few times, but the resulting lore allowed you to fine tune your attack thereafter. Typically I used them that way for the more difficult monsters.

Speculation: you wouldn't necessarily achieve the level 20 cap in the normal course of playing Deadfire. They may be saving that for a potential expansion set.

How tech ate the media and our minds My favorite part: "human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds to eight seconds since 2000, while the goldfish attention span is nine seconds." So, in other words... wait, where'd everybody go?

Perhaps an "iron rations" camping supply option that can be used an unlimited number of times, but the party takes various "Exposure" penalties for resting.

An oldie but goodie: A new CEO was hired to take over a struggling company. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. “Open these if you run into serious trouble,” he said. Well, three months later sales and profits were still way down and the new CEO was catching a lot of heat. He began to panic but then he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.” The new CEO called a press conference and explained that the previous CEO had left him with a real mess and it was taking a bit longer to clean it up than expected, but everything was on the right track. Satisfied with his comments, the press – and Wall Street – responded positively. Another quarter went by and the company continued to struggle. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, “Reorganize.” So he fired key people, consolidated divisions and cut costs everywhere he could. This he did and Wall Street, and the press, applauded his efforts. Three months passed and the company was still short on sales and profits. The CEO would have to figure out how to get through another tough earnings call. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message said, “Prepare three envelopes.”

Nice! Thank you. I read that the company name was based on Black Isle, Scotland. Perhaps then it could have an old abandoned castle?

The only part of The Expanse I don't like is that the first season was only 10 episodes. More, dang it! More. The Flash... is too whiny.

Seems like a general trend though; it's getting more and more difficult to stay moderate in the polarized U.S. political environment. It's not a very healthy environment for democracy.

Good call. But I wouldn't call D:OS over-the-top but tongue-in-cheek. Yes, it's a bit of both at times. At least to me. Difficult to take it too seriously, at any rate.

The art in PoE seemed fine to me. The look provides a realistic feel that takes the renaissance culture and temperate setting seriously. I think an overly warm palette would have diminished that experience. Please leave the bright colors for the more over-the-top cRPGs like D:OS and Torchlight.
