I've only put about 5-6 hours into the game, but wanted to give a bit of feedback. I apologize if this stuff has already been mentioned - I tried searching on the forum for more appropriate threads for each aspect of my feedback, but this was the best place I could find.
1. I feel burn damage is a little low. It just feels like insignificant damage. I'll be fighting guys w/ over 100 hp and *if* they fail to save against burning, they take 1 damage for a few turns. As it seems like elemental interaction (burning oil, freezing water, etc) seems like one of the more unique mechanics to the game, I would expect it to have more of an impact on my choices. It also seems to make spells like Firefly only useful when lighting barrels & oil on fire.
2. Stealing things (using sneak) which aren't under a stationary guard who is staring directly at what you're trying to steal, seems too easy. Patrolling or wandering NPCs can be robbed blind since you can rob them as soon as you leave line of sight by immediately activating sneak, opening the container and hitting "loot all". Doing that usually takes less than a second. I'm not sure what would be the best way to go about changing this. One idea would be to give the sneak ability a 4-5 second cooldown after leaving an NPC's line of sight (maybe reducing the cooldown based on the character's sneak level). Just a thought.
3. I would love to be able to use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out of the map. It just seems natural to me to use the mouse wheel to zoom, rather than having to click the zoom in/out buttons.
Overall I'm loving the game and can't wait to see how it develops, but just wanted to add my 2 cents of feedback after my first good-sized session with the game.
