Yeah. Yet another start. Blah. So why not the full four people? A Singleton became tedious. A duo, well, didn't hold my interest. The two nephil duo became a nephil and a slith because I couldn't resist, and then I had the idea that all of the races, the best and the brightest, should be represented. I suspect it will be like playing Secret of Mana or something. Unsure of party build, but I have ideas. -------------------- If I could make just one wish, I would want a tasty vlish. Geneforge IV.

Shouldn't be hard. I was effectively playing with a trio fairly often, since one party member was typically encumbered into near-immobility. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

You know, given all of Jeff's efforts to streamline the game, I'm a little surprised he didn't get rid of encumbrance (from weight, not from equipped armor). Heaviness rarely if ever restricts my equipment choice, but it just makes me have to constantly pick up stuff and put it down when exploring -- very annoying. Whatever happened to the idea of putting all your junk in a pack, and putting the pack down automatically when those chitrachs jump out at you? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

It's just somewhat tedious to manually drop everything and pick it back up. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

1. It still shouldn't take as long to drop a friggin sack as it does to cast a spell. 2. This is a huge hassle from the streamlining and convenience point of view. It's one thing if you're carrying 20 iron bars, but if you have a lot of 1 and 4 pound items it takes forever to put down and pick up. Even using keyboard and mouse at once. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Err... dropping items does not cost action points, but opening the inventory does. Which is quite a bummer. Having a base 8 action points, which would be just enough to attack and use an item, is now not enough, because you'll be spending four action points to use an item that is not in your quick use item slots. I guess that's the advantage of keeping things in your utility belt. RAmpaGE. Edit: typo.
