August 21, 201411 yr They look to be the same icons used in NWN2. As such, I'm seriously hoping they are placeholder. The neon coloring is very abrasive to the eyes and I personally would raise an eyebrow, and perhaps sneer disgustedly, if I found that the devs are actually planning on having NW2 icons in the final release of this game.
August 21, 201411 yr I wanted to comment on this too. Why in the heck do we have neon ability icons in a game like this? Totally runes the immersion factor forme.
August 21, 201411 yr The icons are from IWD2 and they look great to me. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
August 21, 201411 yr Yup, IDW2 icons, and pretty awesome. They have to be in contrast with the rest of the interface in order to easily recognize them. There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.
August 21, 201411 yr Pretty sure a lot of them are placeholders, they look almost exactly like the ones in some of the IE games. (Unless that's the point and they're supposed to look like that) Edited August 21, 201411 yr by Cabamacadaf
August 22, 201411 yr Most of them are placeholders from IWD2. The first level wizard spells are actual game icons though and they look pretty sweet. Just need them to be bigger!

The icons you refer to are temp, but thank you for your input.
August 23, 201411 yr Author The icons you refer to are temp, but thank you for your input. Sure thing. Thanks for acknowledging feedback. It's super encouraging.
August 23, 201411 yr I'd definitely prefer something more solid than these weird spell effects on black background. There are so many better ways to do it: runes like in BG series, some aboriginal paintings on stone or wood or leather, wood carvings, mosaic... stained glass, anyone?
August 23, 201411 yr Since many ppl here probably played here IWD2 they are probably get confused as hell, lol. One thing to note - with new resolutions and monitors, even on old monitor like mine IWD2 icons are too small now. Their size should get doubled and some other design tweaks used to make them easy to comprehend. I wonder if it's possible to scale them a bit in options depending on what player likes... Their location is p. good however, looks like a compromise between IE game and NWN2 quick spellbook.
