Can anything be changed at this point?

For example I think there wrong with initiative not sure why u cant do to it individual initiative.

I am one of the few who still like to roll for my ability scores to. Think that would be a nice option

How about atleast 5 nods not 4. 4 seems weak to me.

I wish they would actually list the gameplay rules there following as how close they tie this to the rules is what I care about.

Things are fairly subject to change i think but some less so because it could have balance issues. but with mods all of this seems possible.

Initiative seems to be because its faster (especially in huge battles) and better for multi player, there might be an option but i dont see it happening as something beyond one of their "mod pack" things from DOS2 due to its effect on balance

Ability scores i see as a mod thing most likely. Mods or editors should be able to fix this by rolling in game or just at your table and editing in a file. i would love to see ability to roll but i also understand using a buy in because in BG you would just randomize to get bigger and bigger pool and allocate how you like and you could gimp yourself heavily if it was just normal rolls and you rolled terrible.

I would love 5 but the UI seems to be built around 4 with a follower. Lets hope this changes or mods can change this

Rules i guess we will get to see when it goes EA but a tutorial which they said wasnt in the game could do a lot to teach you and see how close it is but i would like just a list of changes and such



For me i would love to see an option to display attack rolls as a dice over the head, not a change to how it works but just a visual would be nice

Different rule set for DM mode if we get it so things like potions are not BA but more true to Tabletop but also maybe room to add in house rules

I'd have to agree with regards to initiative. This change also affects how some feats, class abilities, and items would normally work as well. You also have the problem of one side dog-piling a single individual of the opposing group, taking out weaker characters in a single turn.

I really hope for individual initiative as an option!
Making it a menu toggle should not be overly complicated.

More than 4 party members will surely come as a mod, but I doubt they would allow it through a menu toggle, as it would destroy the game balance (by making the game too easy).

Its odd I dont mind iniitative to be honest, I love the hell out of my xcom, but playing wasteland it builds tention your praying you survice the next 3 guys before your strike etc.

But then lets looks at Battletech, a lot of times people suspend or push back there initiative would that have to be an option.

Speaking of whcih will there be oportunity fire or readying an action?

man do I want a proper gameplay video not just a graphics show off, which I like.
