The half-races (will there be an inclusion?)
But I'm guessing this would not rule out chimera in the general sense, since these are magically created. Hence, you may still have griffons, centaurs, pegasi, and so forth. This might also permit mixed breed humanoids to be created by the gods, or perhaps even by mages or magical forces. That could make for some interesting plot lines that consider the repercussions of creating such "abominations".

Oversexualization of females in video games
Remember the supposed slanterns in Baldur's Gate? Do you recall their pick-up line: "Hey sexy, do you want to take a look at me ditties?" Well, you may be surprised to learn that a 'ditty' is actually a short song. Hence, despite their attire, these young ladies were really just aspiring musicians; pop tarts, if you will. Isn't that charming?

Thoughts on Firearms
Since you missed the point... I was pointing out that even for us it took "thousands of years of history" which was something he hated about games. It was something they thought was unrealistic, and yet something that we know occured in our history. No need to be snarky. I was making my own point. Cheers.

Thoughts on Firearms
Just an FYI but even for us it was over over 4000 years from the the time of Sumer until to first firearms were made. If you want to go from the first cultures such as Hassuna and Samarra it was over 7000 years. It's not a foregone conclusion that gunpowder and firearms would have appeared in Europe when they did if the alchemical technique hadn't been imported from China. Instead, they likely would have appeared much later after further scientific progress had been made. We can't assume this new setting would follow the same sequence of progression as Europe.

Magic makes all things possible, and elves are a magical race.

This isn't middle earth. It's a different land, so name changes can provide a little color.

The half-races (will there be an inclusion?)
I'd actually prefer they use a term like 'fey touched' or 'fey kin' rather than 'half elf'. The latter just seems so mundane and mechanical.

I know I'm going to regret asking this, but... will the Priests be carrying holy hand grenades?

Arachnophobia, "no spiders", what should be important in P:E?
Yeah, if they can build posh mudcrabs, they can mod spiders into giant web-spinning kitties.

Well if they do have chainmail bikinis, you're going to need a magnifying glass to see them. Seriously, I don't think it will be a problem with this game. Many of the core audience are mature adults looking for mature themes.

This World Needs Gods
Sorry I didn't mean to have that effect; just pointing you to a related discussion. Personally I'd like to see some tutelary deities, such as a patron deity of a particular city.

Adam's Playthrough of Icewind Dale 2 for those who missed it
Not wanting to torture myself by watching somebody else play a game I've already run through on more than one occasion, please can you tell us how far he got?

Arachnophobia, "no spiders", what should be important in P:E?
There are some VR immersion therapies that are used to manage people's phobias. But I think it's better to do that under carefully controlled conditions with a skilled therapist. Playing games that are designed to initiate strong emotional responses probably ain't it.

Arachnophobia, "no spiders", what should be important in P:E?
They can probably do a lot of interesting variants of stock D&D monsters, just to change things up and challenge people's expectations. For example, a 'whiptail spider' with a barbed appendage that can be used to spit nets of spider silk.

Mmm... yes. I think I've seen a few of them on this forum, in fact. Anonymuse, the great deity of all trolls.
