They probably are just throwing us crumbs, but that just makes the waiting more frustrating! What is the projected release date now, something like 28 June? *sigh* Two more weeks....

Last word from the designers was that they had submitted "FC1" - which is the FIRST version of the "final cut" of the game. For what its worth, IWD went gold on "FC5". [img]smile.gif[/img]

They are getting close. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Then I'll be more realistic and project the date to be more like the end of July. I'd rather know than not; knowing implies an anticipated date while not knowing is Limbo. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Well, then. I suppose I'd better just check the official site for release dates. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]

Hey! I just noticed something cool in the screenies! Look carefully at the quick weapon slots in the top right of the inventory screen. It appears that rather than holding individual weapons, it holds weapon combos. So slot #1 could be a sword & shield, slot #2 two swords, slot#3 missile weapon, etc.
Sure gives the player a lot of flexibility & simplifies things a lot. No more fumbling with the inventory in the middle of the battle to swap shield for bow or whatever. Just click on the combo and you're all set.
What do you think?

A gold star for Hayashi!!! VERY OBSERVANT!!! [img]smile.gif[/img] Indeed, the inventory screen will allow for weapon combinations so it will be easier to switch from sword and shield to bow for example. I LOVE that change.

Okay, now see if you can spot the improvement in THIS screen. [img]smile.gif[/img]
