PrimeHydra Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 It would be great if we could set how often characters played "acknowledgement sounds". I like to turn mine off after hearing "very well", "going", "very well", etc. enough times ) This was a nice little feature of the BG games. "Always", "Sometimes (20% of the time)" and "Never" were the options I believe. 1 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
Lephys Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 This is really minor (and I may just be not remembering things correctly -- I haven't gotten to play the beta in a little while), but... Having some music continue during loading screens really makes even short load times less jarring and annoying. Maybe just have whatever music was playing when you entered a loading session (went to world map, entered a building, etc.) continue, then transition into whatever's supposed to play in the new area. Hearing jolly tavern music, then abrupt silence for 8 seconds, then travelly forest music just kind of kicks you in the face with the Boot of "Hey, Your Game's Kind of Just Paused Right Now!" Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u
PrimeHydra Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 The wording of the Cancel prompt for hiring a new adventurer is a little confusing due to the button captions. "Cancel hiring of new adventurer?" [Accept] [Cancel] I accidentally clicked Cancel, thinking "yes, Cancel it." Of course, [Accept] is what actually cancels it. Possible new wording: "Are you sure you want to cancel?" [Yes] [No] 5 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
DCParry Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 There had better be a 24 hour clock in the shipped game, as opposed to the archaic am/pm nonsense you use in the colonies. But the game takes place IN the colonies! You imperial bastard ;-) 1

I'd post that in the bugs section with a "[301]" at the start of your thread title, then it will most definitely get noticed. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Bruiser Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I'm sorry if this has been suggested before, I haven't had the chance to read through the thread yet, but it would be nice to have a non-violent resolution when talking to Trygil after unconvering the Skaen plot. The options I chose were sympathetic to the conspiracy (spoilers: aligned with the blood pool and sent Aelys back to murder her uncle), so it seems strange that Trygil would be hostile towards me. I even wear the Skaenite robe and hood
ctn2003 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Aright i want to be able to drop items on the ground its just dumb that i flat out cant. and i want helmits to not be usless in the game their are magic helmits i know but their far and few between! i a think all helmits need a + 5 deflection bonuses PLEASE just ask the other backers they understand as well. Having helmits that are basscly just hates is just silly :/
PrimeHydra Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Would love to be able to set movement waypoints via Shift+Click, like in the IE games. This is great for skirting hazards, setting up sneak attacks, scouring an area for hidden items, and compensating for the inevitable shortcomings of pathfinding algorithms. Queuing spells and abilities via Shift+Click would also be cool, and could make battles less micromanagement-intensive. But please, movement waypoints at the very least!

PrimeHydra Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 The crafting dialog could use a filter to show only recipes for which you have the ingredients. Being able to scroll through recipes with the arrow keys would also be nice! 1 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
PrimeHydra Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Clicking the combat log entry for "Bestiary information unlocked: Wurm" seems like it should bring up the Bestiary entry on Wurms. Would be a nice way to immediately view information on your newfound foes. Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
PrimeHydra Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Is there any reason character damage is not shown in the inventory screen, while other combat-relevant stats like Accuracy Damage Threshold are? It's hard to tell at a glance whether switching out my weapon had a beneficial effect. Instead I have to go into the character screen, page over to the character whose weapon I am experimenting with, and scroll down to the damage. The info is there, it just needs to be on the inventory screen as well. Edited October 14, 2014 by PrimeHydra 1 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
PrimeHydra Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) To re-iterate a couple of points from siril_dana in the Fist Impressions Thread: Double tap the number of your character should center the screen on that character. Also if you hold the number the camera could follow the selected character. This was such a nice touch in the IE games.

BMac Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Good points, PH. Dave implemented shift-queuing last week, I believe you can do it with pretty much any action or spell. 5

PrimeHydra Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Crafting shouldn't require you to hunt for and haul out ingredients from your stash; it should automatically use components in your stash whenever the stash is accessible (i.e., in a friendly area, or when resting). (Suggested because I noticed that if I move an ingredient into the chest, the recipes no longer show it as an ingredient I have.) Wait, maybe this is a bug...will report on bugs forum Edited October 16, 2014 by PrimeHydra 1 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)

Wait, maybe this is a bug...will report on bugs forum I'm pretty sure that worked for me when I tested enchantments 2 weeks ago. Most of the material I add via the console was in the stash because there wasn't enough inventory space to hold it all. Azarhal, Chanter and Keeper of Truth of the Obsidian Order of Eternity.
PrimeHydra Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of having to confirm travel on the map. "Traveling to Dryford Crossing will take 4 hours. Confirm?" I get that it's to prevent accidental clicks, but I'd prefer to see the travel time either included with location labels, or shown when you mouse over the location. 7 Ask a fish head Anything you want to They won't answer (They can't talk)
ctn2003 Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 I want to be to drop items on the ground PLEAS! many backers are asking for it.
Grufflehound Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Possibly few people will share my wishes for this but is there any reason why we can't play with less followers? Personally I like to limit my party in games like this to three characters or less, as I like the additional strategy aspect this provides and most definitely the extra challenge. Periodically I try out this beta version to see if maybe the latest patch has finally included this number of characters option but after finding it yet has to appear, I no longer ever bother playing it any further. Hopefully such an option will eventually appear as was mentioned in a very early announcement I either listened to or read. In that announcement it even promised the ability to play with only one character if we so wished. I'm still hoping this remains the case. WARNING: Ferocious guard dog on site.
Lephys Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 @Grufflehound: You'll be able to in the final game. I think it's just not a function in the beta yet (sending party members away). Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u

Grufflehound Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I chewed over the matter of how many grats to offer you but decided one was a nuff while two woild be more than a nuff....though that's nuffing to do with it really. 1 WARNING: Ferocious guard dog on site.
