Ok, so not sure who will see this but I bought the early access game for something so here goes.

1. Overall, I love it so far, it has a few bugs and issues but I am enjoying it.
2. I REALLY like the character interactions, whoever wrote the dialogue for this game should get a raise. Feels very real
3. The art department did an amazing job, I love the 3 dimensional feel to it, climbing on roof tops, jumping off rocks, its fun
4. Items - just enough stuff to pickup, not too much to feel tedious. I don't pickup every spoon and bowl but finding a ring here or there feels appropriate.

Now on to my suggestions.

1. The camera - I know this has been mentioned but holy cow its impossible to tilt your head up? Please give the camera a way to tilt the Y axis, I want to look UP the stairs please
2. Ability balance - I'm not talking about classes, those can be tuned, I am talking about things like shove and hide. These are WAY too powerful in my opinion and the baddies don't seem to shove back. Sneaking up to a baddie on a hill and pushing them off does feel rewarding but when there are no consequences to doing this the game becomes all about how much you can shove something.
3. Food restoring health? I get the idea but this is also WAY too powerful, just carry around some apples and plow ahead.
4. No penalty for resting. Why not long rest constantly? Doesn't seem to be any reason not to
5. getting spells back on short rest? I can see some abilities coming back but restoring spells, seems a bit much
6. Lastly inventory management, this probably needs the most work, I cant even find a way to put something on to a different hotbar? I see that each character has 10 rows of hotbars that you can cycle through, how do you add stuff to the second bar? I would love to have one set for spells, one set for scrolls, one set for potions. Trying to get that to work is very hard. I found myself just using stuff immediately because storing it was not fun.

thats it, thanks for the great game. Please consider the above minor annoyances rather than "game breaking". Those will not stop me from playing but would be nice.

What spells are you getting back via short rest? The only class I know of that does that is the Warlock. Cleric and Wizard need a long rest.

Rangers are long rest as well. Wizards' Arcane Recovery is supposed to happen during a short rest (but BG3 just lets you do it whenever).

I agree - overall just a few more tweaks to these mechanics and we're tracking in the right direction.
