Since someone thought everyone who posted in chala the troll's thread was being immature for having gripes and/or wishes for game improvements. I decided to start this thread.

1) No I am not from Bioware or Interplay or even *GASP* IONSTORM http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif Im just a avid gamer like the rest of you.

2) No your ideas and thoughts will probably never ever be used in a future game.

3) But its fun to dream, so if you have an idea for a new spell, monster, item, or game improvement post them here. Maybe someone from on high will see them and say "Hey what a cool idea, lets try that!"

well I still am interested in the Mind Scan lvl 7 priest spell (mind-reading w/30% chance of failure & subsequent fight breaking out due to invasion of private thoughts)

My favorite parasite has always been the leech [no really] - I'd like to see a mass leech attack upon the PC.

This is kind of nasty (but backstabbing is nasty already) - perhaps an evil thief can use a garrote; sort of a variation on the backstab... downside is it takes 2-3 rounds to strangle, during which time you cannot let go and use other weapons lest the victim escape; plusside is you can be dragging the victim away to flee from nearby enemies who've noticed you coming out of stealth mode...

(BTW yeh I'm sort of a newbie & I may have dumb ideas at times and I prob. wouldn't spot a fake poster esp. @ 3:30 AM when my brain is all curdled and such but (a) I just like to throw out initial ideas without thinking too much and edit them later and (b) I'll get the hang of it as I get more XP around here an' probably more caffeine http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ...)

I'd like for them to incorportate some sort of "ironman" option to the game which would somehow limit game saves, allow only one starting character, and not allow re-rolling of stats. I realize that most people don't have the patience, or the will to accept such a challenge, but I think it would be neat to be offered as an option.

Secondly, I'd like for them to work on incorporating more D&D spells and rules into the game system. Programmers get lazy. I know... I studied computer science... so I realize that many D&D spells would be difficult to implement in this sort of gaming environment. Instead the programmers prolly decided to throw in a few of their own homemade spells to make work a little easier for themselves. Any new version of the game should include more actual D&D spells.
3rd Lvl spell (Fly)
2nd Lvl spell (Levitate)
1st Lvl spell (Comprehend Languages)
These are just a few examples.
Plus, the game system doesn't adjust for damage adjustments depending on creature size. In D&D each weapon does 2 different damages. One is versus Small/Medium monsters. One is for the Large/Titan monsters. Two handed sword is an excellant example. In BGII, you'll notice that it always does 1d10 points of damage. In reality, it should do 3D6 when you fight the big monsters.

Horses would be a great add-on as well.

In short BGII is very entertaining, but there is plenty of room for improvement.
