hey guys. i am very interested in this discussion, because i like to play as a Necromancer as well and enjoyed the summons back in BG2 etc. what came to my mind is a little different approach on the ressurection oder animation of dead. what do you think about a permanent summon, which can grow stronger while you gain XP? that creature can gain certain level. for example it starts like a simple skeleton at level 1. with level 2 it is able to wear armour and weapon... and later it might be able to spit fire and becomes a demon in shape. that would be only 1 summon, but could be tactically very interesting. If your "demon" dies, it would be a hughe loss. apart from that you should be able to summon "other" minor or weaker pets. because this permantent summon would take too long to fully develop its skills. what you think?

In BG2 I was totally satisfied with the character costomization. To me it mattered more how the equippment was looking on my char. Some time in the game everyone of the chars wore either a cloack, hooded robe, or at least a helmet to distinguish him from the other chars. Apart from that I think that is much more important, to distinguish the character from others. maybe not the eye-colour but the physical apperance, which could be equippment, or even body posture. :D
