As the title suggests I would like to collect those things that cannot be found in your genuine walkthrough. Easter Eggs - Giant Miniature Space Piglet: Reference to hamster Boo from BG+BG2 - "You must gather your party before venturing forth" on area transition: Same as in BG+BG2 - Gilded Vale, Black Hound, glass-window: Reference to BG3 - Gilded Vale, Quest to collect shipment for the Smith: Once you find the shipment, one of the crates is labled "TSR" (original publisher of D&D) - Stronghold + the fact that you are a Watcher: Reference to "The Watcher's Keep" from BG2ToB - Defiance Bay, Copperlane, Expedition Hall: Expeditions are funded by people betting on them, but many of them fail. Reference to Kickstarter - Defiance Bay, Ondras Gift, Salty Mast: membership ring for the "Club of Refined and Prestigious Gentlemen" reads CRPG - Dyford, Dracogen Inn, painting: shows Will Wheaton & Felicia Day in "romantic pose", reference to "The Guild" - Dyford, Dracogen Inn, painting next to the previous one: shows Great Khan, reference to Fallout NV Secrets quests, riddles etc. - Caravan Camp: you can slaughter the entire camp as opposed to get water for them and get the appropriate quest - Defiance Bay, Ondras Gift, night time: in an ally on the right Curnd is selling gemstones - Dyford Village, Temple of Berath: Killing Harbinger Beodmar will grant you a vision revealing the location of the Engwithan ruin to the north - Od Nua Lvl 3, Statue with missing sabre: the sabre can be found a level below. Once put onto the statue a secret door opens Would be great to hear what else you guys discovered.

@Khalid the bear: I might should have added that I am against having more levels in the current scenario, because the monsters except for the adra dragon are so easy to beat as is. My first PoE game was on hard and by the time I left for Dyrford I just cut through them like a knife through cake lol

I completely agree with OP's comment on Encounter Design, Stronghold and Reactivity. 1.) Overall Athmosphere For me this includes a multitude of aspects, because it is creates the much needed immersion that is most important in an rpg. While I understand that implementing a day/night cicle that affects npcs location etc. might be to late to ask for, I believe it should be possible to do the following things to make the world come alive even more. 1.a.) add sitting or laying people. I encountered only 3 or 4 people sitting (on a throne no less) and a handful of poor addicts and mental patients on the floor. This definetly goes into the right direction, but as of now they stand out too much. Taverns, streets, your stronghold, the theatre they all need them, because in 90% of the time people just stand there with their spread leg looking akward. Apparently in this world nobody ever even heard of sitting around a campfire. 1.b.) add a variety of vendors to a supposedly large city like Defiance Bay, because it seems largely empty to be honest (First Fieres anyone?). BG2 had a skulpture, tanner and gambling for example. At least the last one could be implemnted as well. And how about a tailor that offers you fancy outfits and hats that you dont get from a smith? Perhaps an animal shelter that offers you pets, but more importantly also takes care of your pets, because seriously: I have 2 cats, 2 pigs, 2 dogs, a wyrm and that mini animat in my backpack. Does the record keeper offer any books for sale or is he looking for any books? What about a band, concert, streets artists, fortune tellers, street food? The list is endless. Also, I havent seen any customers except for the Twin Elms Market (besides me). 1.c.) open up some of the houses that have doors, but cannot be entered, for example. for some of those new stores. 1.d.) show some of the impact the rebellion had in Defiance Bay. Almost nobody seems to have noticed it when you return in Act III. What happened to the refugees for example? And why are the nights still patroling the street even though the Dozens are ruling now? Which brings me to my next point. 2.) Factions So far choosing a faction barely has any impact on the game. Granted in the final slideshow it will be mentioned but while you are playing almost nothing happens. At least a few more quests per faction would have been nice. At the moment it is really difficult to feel like you belong to one of them, because you only spent a few minutes in their headquarters. 3.) XP / Level Scaling First I like to say, that I really love the Quest-XP only mechanism, yet I can be tweaked. For example, when I arrived in Dyrford Village I was already level 10 - close to hitting 11, and I hadn't even done any bounties. Once I did I spent hours of walking around with maximum Level - slightly bored. Please lower the quest XP or raise the needed amount to advance to level-up. Other things I am looking forward to, that are likely to happen in the expansions anyhow, so I won't go into detail are more of that lovely music, new portraits, (hopefully large) areas and more riddles.

wait, what? I thought myself to be a completionist, but I never got one of those three bonus talents. What the hell did I miss, another bug? lol

Really? Never heard of this before. Anybody knows more?

my only wish so far: please add sitting/laying npcs and increase the overall amount of people in the streets/stronghold.

I'm still not sure why I would need to switch my grimoire. I'm playing on hard and am quite satisfied with my spell selection.

same thing here as OP, I talked to Durance both ways, but the option doesn't appear. PS: That priest is so damn annoying :D Gonna swap him as soon as I find another companion to fill up my party. ^^

Anybody else her unable to download POE from GOG, or not able to see it on the shelf?

well f*** me, my entire library just vanished including poe and all the free games

DRMfree is on top of my list for any game, so yeah GOG

another Inn without any sitting customers

I'm considering a boring wizard for my first run. Still not sure about the attribute points though^^

Ethnicity has nothing to do with those racial/racist attributes like skull shape, skin color etc. It is a socially defined term. Categorizing people according to a common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience, including religion, cuisine, ideology, dialect etc.
