Hallo,

I only had one comment on the new game items well actualy two but only one annoys me. This is if you get an item when solveing a quest i have no idea witch item i get and even if i get one. I just see the "Aquired item" on my screen (the level up sign is great! i love it) and look in my inventory but because i pike up loads of stuf i never seem te figure out witch item i got and even worse i always have the feeling of being robbed. No xp and have the feeling i didn't get the item to (but probably i did) so maybe it's more fun to tell us what we got or show us or what ever so we actualy get it in our hands?

The next thing i find a bit sad, the story and quests in devine were more fun and non linear, so more freedom but i'm only in act II so can't tell mush about it.

and last what does "when you quickly want to close a plate right click on it" mean? I've been wondering what it means since devine.

greetz xd

The last thing...

It means that when you open a window like the inventory window, the skill window, the charm window, the crystal bag window etc... You can close those things, by right-clicking on them anywhere, instead of left-clicking on the little X.

I agree with your first point however. Alot of times I don't have a clue what I got, and even after searching, I'm reasonably sure I didn't get anything. In fact, the only thing I have "aquired" was the holy water. All other quests haven't given me anything as far as I'm concirned.

So telling me what I got would be handy, yes.

If the acquired item is not gold - you can see it on the left top corner of your inventory, regardless, which section you have opened - as soon as you click on a button, it then vanishes into the appropriate section.

You get gold, runes, crystals, special, unique items, weapons, armour, skill books, sometimes only potions or in one case, 2 tiny bottles. I can assure you in my games => if you get the "acquire" message - you really GET an item. [color:"yellow"]Tell me, which quest you wish info about - and I will name you your reward.[/color] How I know? Easy, as soon as I approach a quest giver, I make sure, I take my char: her inventory is pretty empty, so I can keep track - and I leave no gold in her inventory, so I can see how much I got.

IMO, it was easier in former times (with one inventory for all and no buttons selected) to simply keep this left space free and therefore view what you got.

Suggestion: Keep the upper left space in all sections - then you might see it better. View it, then remove it to another location. This is what I do.

Quickly right click => never tried it out - as I keep a fierce look at the minimap once I open a container/inventory etc. Guess, it's for combat alarm?

About the quest items...
Forgive me if I am wrong but no game had a text telling you what item you've gotten. In Baldur's Gate, you can get "A party has gotten an item". In Arcanum, the inventory icon becomes red... Usually you know what item you've gained through the dialogue.

Naming items+gold, where you got the "acquired" message:

Act 1 => Deathclaw, 300 gp, 1000 gp (500 gp), 800 gp, key

Act 2 => 2 speed potions, poisonous dagger, 1600 gp+crystal, bone amulet, rune+1000 gp, 5 stamina potions, 2 tiny bottles, 1200 gp, bone ring, holy water, mace, rune, chain helmet, 800 gp, crystal+400 gp, skill book

Act 3 => 2400 gp(1200 gp), Raanaar wand, Pag-Umn rune, Holy Sandals of the Damned, Marksman's Rope, Markman's cloak, 2400 gp, perm. con potion, shadow leggings, perm. surv. potion,large fire crystal (rest. potion), 1200 gp(600 gp), shadow shield, Pag-Ustr rune, skill book, 2000 gp

Act 4 => skill book, Yit-Koor rune

There are more rewards, but you either see them on the ground and pick them up, or get a key to open a reward container. Rewards in parentheses are due to the way you solved the quest, I merely listed those with a message.
