First off I would like to say I know the game is in alpha and that is fine. I do hope it gets completed soon smile

I love the game but there are many thing I have issues with.

1. Repairing things doesn't seem to work, and if it does work then the game gives you absolutely no instruction on how to get it to work/what you require to make it work. Going to a vendor does not work. Anyone know how to make this work.

2. The crafting system in this game is very dull. I like the aspect of guessing on what stuff combined makes what, and seeking out books to help gather knowledge on recipes, but the thing I cannot ignore is how dull the other crafting mechanics are. crafting with a steel bar makes an axe....always an axe. Large steel bars make scythes...always scythes. There needs to be a more in depth crafting system, something where you put all your materials into an interface screen in an order or pattern of what you are wanting. At least it allows more variability toward crafting.

3. Quest markers seem to dissapear and there is no true way to keep track of a main quest you are on. Game eventually becomes a "run around until you just get sick of searching and stop playing" game.

4. After a combat in multiplayer, your partner seems to be standing still the whole time but in reality he is actually invisible and following you. The game must be reloaded constantly to see your friend again.

5. I would like to see more combat or more strategic battles involved in the game. Obviously this will probably come with the additions you are working on.

6. Some areas and many skills do not have sounds to them. Hopefully this will be added.

7. Gold and other items can't seemed to be stacked once separated. I have seen this issue in other games before and I know you can easily fix it smile

8. Some kind of short tutorial should be implemented for using certain crafting areas and designating where those areas are in a major town. (such as the anvil, grind stone, smelter, etc.)

9. Slightly more freedom of the camera would be great and making it flow better. Having your camera getting stuck on a mountain when trying to run is a bit annoying.

10. additional item models such as robes seem to be missing. This seems like it would be an easy implementation considering enemy wizards are wearing them. Plus adding benefits for wizards to wear robes as opposed to just full armor/leather.

11. Character model while holding a scythe seems to be broken.

EDIT 1:
12. The Removal/deletion of a quest from your quest log when a key quest person is killed. For instance, the kitty love quest can no longer be completed because when I pissed off the mayor and had to fight him, I also had to combat against his cat. Now that the quest can no longer be completed, it should be removed from the log or scratched out so I can see I can no longer do it.

13. Skill book locations for warrior/ranger are broken/glitched. Many times when I talk to the person who sells the books, they don't actually have a sell menu, yet when I come back and talk to them again it is now all of a sudden working. The NPC pictures seem to glitch out sometimes making them regular citizens which I think is the cause of sometimes not being able to find or buy the books.

surely more to come....

A great list and summed up very well.

I would like to add to this comment about the inventory system.
To add to your #7.
Some form of quick organization button would be great.
Cause stack-able like items to stack, and other like items to be grouped together. Move everything up to fill empty spaces etc.
Also the icons on the side of the inventory (armor, weapon, etc) do not seem to do anything. I only assume the feature hasn't been fully implemented.

Another UI request. A quick way to close all windows. I find myself pressing escape to get out of inventory windows, or NPC dialog and it just brings up the game menu system. I would rather menu system to only come up if all other windows are closed.

Fun game so far, keep up the great work.

Some points from my first 2h:
- Why do i have to use my keybard (wsad) to change the camera in fights? (to see the ememy instead of my Char). That should be possible by pressing Mouse3 or so. Or the camera should zoom out a lil bit, so i can se my selected Char AND the Enemies.

- Can we get a preview of the theme and ingame music, pls?
I dont like the actual titles, so i´m playing DOS with the Elder Scrolls main themes atm :))
