Crossposted to Steam.

okay, so I will do this one at a time. I am likely going to lose track and the numbering is going to get skewed.

+1

+1 (these could be viable DLC's)

+1 (lots of ways to fix her in-game, and lots of clver ways to get around those, trying to use ressurection magic could... turn her into a soul coin for example, then you gotta figure out how to get her out of the coin... then you have a potential long term reward for not using soul coins)

+1 (if you keep it, it should be signficant no matter what)

+1 (this is just, a really cool idea)

+0 (indifferent)

+1 (you should chose at the beginning, who do you dream of... love, or guardianship... something like that)

+1 (this one I think has been confirmed on some level to be absent due to glitches)

+1

+10000 on this one, the hags were super interesting (also her soul is in her talisman thing, and feeding it to gale should absolutely have an effect on the story)

+1 to Dame (thats a title btw), +0 on Orin (Neutral), +1 Sazza (Maybe this could be how they re-implement Helia and the werewolf plot thread? IDK, werewolf goblin), +1 to Alfira, +0 on Abdirak (Neutral, but a solid shadowheart replacement on evil path), -1 on nere (eh, we dont need a second drow)

+1 to all of these, I want to see Us learn to get along with Scratch and the owlbear cub... so damn bad. Shovel existing at camp would be fun to, especially for necromancer players.

+1

+0 (not for me)

+1 them removing consequences for using them was likely because they didnt want to deprive players of the gameplay mechanics of using tadpole powers, which... I really get it from a development perspective, but the story suffers because of it. Take it from the fans, this was a decision that you all made that was a sound business decision, but ultimately violated your artistic integrity on some level, thankfully you as a company larian have plenty to spare... The best way to bring back consequences, is to add long-term rewards from abstaining from tadpole usage... In bioshock, you gain more Adam in the short run if you destroy the little sisters, but in the long run get more and get more rewards, by curing them... you sacrifice a short term boost for long term gameplay benefits... perhaps in this instance, you build up mental defenses against mind flayers, or even antibodies to tadpoles, or some ability to control tadpoles and dominate them... also wasnt there an intellect devourer form for druids in EA? thats way cooler than displacer beast... displacer beast makes no sense as a mind flayer form. Point is, there is a way for Larian to get what they want, and whats best for the story

+1, more is always better

+1 (this would work better as DLC, and if they were classes rather than races)

+0 im very indifferent

+0 indifferent

-1 this is just development time taken away from fixing story problems

-1 I dislike this idea, but not very much

+1 Yeah sure (would go well with including Artificer as a new class I think)

+1, im really sick of redoing combat because shadowheart was talked to for some reason, even though my settings say that shouldnt happen

+1 sure

+1 sure, +1 why not -1 doesnt really work with this game

+0 indifferent

+0 indifferent

+0 indifferent

+1000000

+1 yeah

+1, I did not know there are timed quests

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000, especially with romance

+1 sure

+1 yeah this would be a toggleable in options I think

+0, indifferent, this could be done through character action, but it also wouldnt hurt anything

+1 im not asexual, but I know a lot of people who are who would appreciate this

+1, indifferent, but it wouldnt hurt the game and would make it more accessible for people who have issues with this kind of content for whatever reason

+1 sure

(there is no way on gods good earth I dint miss a few or screw up the numbering, I shoulda copied the list and just posted my responses, but hindsight is 20/20)

Fun list! Let's see...



[+1, DUH, though I *really* think we should have dialogue scenes with our companions, not slides, like after Act 1] Chapter 4: Epilogue and Ending Slides detailing the outcomes of our choices.

[+1, fun!] Make Upper City and Avernus into playable areas. Both are mentioned quite a lot and from the looks of it they both were planned at one point.

[+1] Flesh out Karlach more. Let us fix Karlach's heart. Possible methods: Let Astarion turn her into a vampire. Let her make a deal with Mizora or Raphael. Let her live in the House of Hope. Add more Blacksmith quests to fix her heart. Make her into an undead using Mystic Carrion? Give Karlach more things to use Soul Coins and Infernal Iron on.

[+1, why not, sounds fun even if not my thing, adds *reactivity*] Keeping the Githanki egg should tie into the romance ending for Lae'zel. Show us an ending slide of us raising the child together.

[+?, I mean, I'd personally engage in it and have fun because I do love decorating and collecting crap, but I'm not sure it's necessary for this sort of game] After defeating Raphael, allow us to take over House of Hope as our permanent camp. Also give us the ability to decorate it using items found in the world.

[+0, I would like it, but I can see how much effort it could be to let us travel back to Act2 area in a satisfying manner, it'd be a low priority for me personally] Global map for fast travel and don't lock us out of old areas.

[-1, from all I know about Daisy, I liked the Guardian better, he kept me guessing if to trust him or not, I'd never trust Daisy for a second] The Daisy storyline was better than Guardian story and should be added back.

[+1, not for me whatsoever, but fleshed out NPCs are always great to have for players that do like them] Flesh out Minthara. Give Minthara her pregnancy storyline back.

[+1, sure, why not] Finish Mol's storyline.

[+1, hags are fun, more quests are fun, more outcomes are fun] Finish The Hags storyline. Won't she just come back to life again? Why can't I help Mayrina cure her husband? What happens to Vanra?

[+0, can't say I care about any of them this much] Dame, Orin, Sazza, Alfira, Abdirak and Nere should be companions.

[+1, yes!] Let us invite more NPCs and animals to stay at our camp. Araj (Potions), Mol (Fenced Goods), Dammon (Blacksmith), Exxvikyap (General Goods), Zethino, Ellyka, Us, Lump, Quasit, Malta, Squire, Blue Jay, His Majesty and Steelclaw.

[+1, fun!] More romantic dates similar to the Karlach one.

[+1, fun idea for a specific playthrough] Let us have a harem ending.

[+1, shocked it isn't so!] Consequences for using tadpoles.

[+1, sure, the more the merrier] More mega bosses. Add the Orin dragon fight.

[+1, big replayability, *but* only if it's accounted for story-wise and companion-wise; getting this and no comments/content related to it other than combat abilities, I'd rather not have it at all] Let us become vampires and werewolves.

[+1] Better inventory management and more sorting filters. Color coded bags or separate inventory tabs.

[+1, though I didn't really need anything... I hardly engaged in alchemy as is, this would be cool if there was scarcity and challenge accompanying it making crafting feel rewarding] Crafting. Make all those trash items useful.

[+1, not gonna happen, but sounds like a blast] Endless Dungeon.

[+1, sure, these can be fun] Gladiator style Arena.

[+1, definitely needed, I played 2/3 of Act3 without getting any more XP] Increase the level cap.

[+?, could be finnicky, but could do some work, unsure] Allow party members to switch during dialog.

[+?, no opinion, pickpocketed 1 item all game] Improve the stealth system and pickpocket.

[+1, definitely good idea] Extreme Tactician, Ironman, Solo and New Game+ modes.

[+1, a nice touch] A graveyard for dead companions and camp NPCs.

[+1, very much necessary!] A mirror at camp to change and dye your hair.

[+0, ambivalent, I'm okay with it as is] Party formations for travel and battle.

[+1, fix = good] Fix non-lethal attacks. Quests flag a lot of npcs as dead when you knock them out.

[+1, don't really need it personally, but if others do, it surely wouldn't hurt] Show Companion Approval in Dialogue History.

[+1, nice to have, I only noticed 1 quest being timed in the entire game actually] Add a clock icon next to timed quests in the journal.

[-1, could make it feel dialogue-wheely and I *despise* dialogue wheels] Add icons next to dialogue choices to show tone.

[+1, sure why not] Add icons to books to show which ones have been read before.

[+1, yeah, would make everyone seem less of a carbon copy, stat-wise] The option to Roll for stats during character creation.

[+1, simple way of sorting out issues some players have] The option to select a sexual preference in character creation.

[+1, as above, easy solution to sort out some complaints] The option to disable all romance when starting a fresh game.

[+1, any "option" is good in my book, it doesn't take anything away from the game, and lets this or that player enjoy it more] The option to turn off all blood & gore.

[+0, I mean, all good for people, who'd use it, but for me personally a bit of a time waste] Advanced Photomode. Perhaps Nvidia Ansel.

I'm sure it is already a known issue but it just happened to me again at a critical moment for me, but the bug where you only get "Continue" as a dialogue choice instead of the actual line of text but the character reacts as if you said the first option that you could not even read is a big problem. Please fix this as soon as possible.

Not a bad list! I totally agree with an epilogue, im also a fan of dates with your romance option. Photomode for sure!
