Here are a few items I uncovered while playing through the recent Beta release.
1.) The Adventurer's Field Guide, Volume VIII - opening sentence, "The first trick my dad thought me was how to use....I believe the word you're looking for is 'taught' instead of 'thought'.
2.) Merchant Trade sreen - I appreciate the ability to now scroll through your party members during the trade screen. Big omprovement. I believe, however, I have found an issue related to how Skillbooks are displayed. Example, main character opened trading screen with Capt. Aureus. I now scroll to my 2nd character which is Madora who happens to have the Way of the Warrior ability. If I hover the mouse over the Way of the Warrior skillbooks, it will indicate that none of the skills have been learned. If I exit the trade screen and then enter the trade screen with Madora, the skillbooks properly indicate which skills have been learned and which have not. This issue it evident with all merchants.
3.) While we're on the merchant trade screen, if Madora and Jahan can individually trade with a merchant/NPC, why present the NPC dialogue "What are you, some kind of wandering minion? You can tell your boss I'll have no dealings with a go-between. If this is true, how come Madora and Jahan can still trade. BTW I believe that any party member should be able to trade. Just modify the dialogue to reflect a "preferred" trade, but since your here, what can I do for you!
4.) Stackable Resistance/Abilities Items - After some experimenting, I found that you stack + resistane items by wearing the highest resistance item first, then the 2nd highest, etc. Note, however, that I only tried with 2 stackable items. So I had body armor with +15% Poison resistance (#1) and a ring with +10% Poison resistance (#2), together I showed +25% Poison resistance.
On the other hand, items with +1 Abilities apparently do not stack. Disappointment. Bug or intentional?
5.) Party members still walk into hazards (fire, poison ooze, oil slick) when reforming party or moving forward. This is very annoying.
