first off yes i understand it is Alpha and they are improving it but just to pitch ideas/reminders so the overall game experience can be fully enjoyed.

one of the problems i immediately notice is the lack of autosaves, autosaves only proc when theres a event/epic fight nearby and never proc again ever ingame, consider the option to implement autosave timers that procs after *time example: fallout4. the current autosave feature ironically doesnt "save" time or effort redoing everything you done after 1 mistake.

2nd is the option to adjust the camera-see-through-building option which currently compare to the first game is way way wayyyyyy smaller, i cant see a chest with a giant boulder blocking all my screen.

3rd is the buy with gold and sell for gold option in vendors, one of the most troublesome thing to do is to measure exactly so that the vendors wont reject your offer because u took 1 extra gold from them. not to mention when i want to sell my junk which comes up to like 16 coins and i have to make sure to get 16 in a 1000 gold slider.

4rd is alternatively to add a counter for items which u then type in a box how many you are going to buy

5th add a sort button in inventory. self explanatory.

all these features are small yet very important for a player that is new. by implementing such features it would lighten the tediousness of the game

Your 3rd point already exists. The balance scale at the top center of the menu makes your offer match the item you are buying.

The second option should be extended to make the camera see through the area like in diablo 3 cause a lot of people I play with are telling this is causing trouble.

1: I just have a keybinding for quicksave and quickload. I have learned to press save whenever I completed something I don't want to haveto redo.

2: Not sure what your issue is, I have no troubles viewing things if I just rotate the camera and/or zoom in/out a bit.

3: as stated there is a button for this already.

4: have you tried using the arrow keys to adjust the slider? Usually things bought from a vendor do not come in large enough stacks to make the slider a problem.

5: will come further down the road. The original game had it, its just not implemented yet.
For now have a sorting system to make it easier for you. ^^

1) I think no autosave is better. Making such a feature in easy mode (explorer mode) why not but when you just have to press F5 for a quicksave, I prefer to chose when I can do it, autosave popping randomly (and after X Min that would mean even in combat) isn't a think I'd like.

2) True. The camera should be more zoom out like the first one. I don't like the new angle too, it was more "vertical" in the first one and we had better visibility

3) Already exists. You have gold, you can pay with gold, you can seld for gold (but vendors have a certain amount of gold, to make it more realistic). You can also use the scale button.

4) Didn't encounter the problem, I rarely buy things in more than just 2 or 3...

5) Already been said it will come, it's the alpha, give them some time, it wasn't the first thing to experiment, you can hardly mess up a game with just a "sort" button.
