Minor Changes You'd Like To See

Kerneth · 08-05-2002, 03:37 PM

Everyone knows what I'm talking about. The little tiny stuff that you run across while playing the game and think to yourself "You know, I really wish they'd done it like *this* instead of the way they did it."

Example: I wish they'd made the katana a sort of rapier/longsword cross instead of nothing but a bastard sword with a curved blade. Say, 1d8 (or 2d4) damage with the rapier crit range (18-20 x2). Also, I absolutely despite the colors chosen for some of the armor, particularly the screaming bright red leather +1 and the equally bright blue studded leathers +2. No self-respecting thief or ranger is going to be running around in colors that bright, you should have a Hide penalty just from wearing them.

What're some other minor-but-annoying details you guys wish could be changed? Or am I the only person who cares about this junk? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

the way the game says that a rapier is an ideal weapon to use in the offhand, yet it gives the same penalties as if you were wielding ANY two weapons. rapiers are light, and quick, and make excellent weapons to dual-wield with. i had a ranger in 2nd edition D&D that dual-wielded rapiers, and i got a +1 to use them because i was an elf too. my dm is cool like that.

i dont like the way the legs look on all of the characters, they seem too small to me. aside from these, i have no REAL problems.

I would like to see a 360 degree camera angle.

They could have made better looking portraits!
Most of the pictures look horribly ugly as well as insane.

Curian The Paladin · 08-05-2002, 06:48 PM

well IMHO, i'd like that the level of monsters or enemies that i encounter will be i guess 5 ot 10 levels higher than my character's level so there will challange and i heard that dragons are just big wing flapping insects *easy to beat* i hope nut... for i have lot of expectation regarding dragons.... that it will take me a couple of respawning or reloadingto beat it... that would be all... other than that the game's graphics is so d*mn good!!!
