The armour and weapons are devided into classes. So no mages with plate armour but a robe. I realy like this. If it was not party based it would have been wasted (3/4 of stuff you can't use). but with a 4 member party it realy works well.
The map realy sucks. Come on I pass a building i know have to get back to but you can't olace any marks. took me 2 hours to explore the intire map again.
