Hopefully, this is the right place to post feedback. I'm probably sure that some of this was reported by others, but I haven't been actively reading the forums, so please pardon any repeats.
Feedback
Version Played: 1.0.47, Alpha
First of all Larian, I have to say I am enjoying the game a lot even in its alpha state, it’s looks great. It's been stable for me, no crashes so far. I love the music that was added in 1.0.47. It adds a lot of great atmosphere to the game. I have been playing for about 4 hours and have some feedback and suggestions for improvement. (More to come!)
Interface Issues
Level Up - When my character leveled up, it wasn’t clear to me what I was supposed to do. While I had an idea from watching the D:OS videos, the abilities and talents almost seems hidden away. In addition, I’m not sure how to select new skills. What I think would be nice would be a new level up screen, where you can select your talents and skills (while not removing the existing screens). Or maybe some visual feedback to indicate to the user where to add new talents and skills.
Mouse / Camera - I have to say, this has been the most frustrating thing in the alpha so far. Sometimes I want the screen to pan, and it doesn’t. (i.e. when I want to move down/south and my mouse cursor is blocked by the quick bar) Sometimes when I want to double click on Scarlett’s/Roderick’s inventory, the screen would pan to the upper left/north west direction. Perhaps my mouse is too sensitive? While the arrow keys, WASD keys work great for panning (and I really like that feature), the mouse panning has been a source of frustration. I also really like how you can just click and hold and the party leader + camera pans.
Saving a New Game - When saving a new game, a dialog first appears to ask to user to input a save game name. The background dims slightly to focus on the save game dialog. When you click save, the screen flashes for a moment when the Save Successful dialog appears. Probably because when the previous dialog dismisses, it unfades the background while the Save Successful dialog fades it again. Not a big deal, but a minor annoyance.
Loading Games - List of saved games are not sorted correctly by time. It appears to be sorted by time, then date.
After loading a game, Roderick is always selected as the party leader even though I might have selected Scarlett during the save. When I move Roderick, Scarlett does not follow. It only works after I switch party leaders does the follow mechanism work again.
Quick Save - No visual feedback. (Of course I know this will be fixed later) Just wanted to note it here.
Quest Issues
Beach Guards - The two Legionnaires guarding the bridge agreed to follow me. However when they did, they disappeared somewhere. I saw some shield and sword artifacts, but the NPCs themselves completely disappeared when the NPCs were off my screen.
Cyseal NPC Dialog - The dialog appears to be random but repeats too frequently.
