I think that one was changed in the patch after it.
Still downloading, but starting level looks exactly like I imagined it. Lady Vengeance as homebase sounds cool, implies we'll be sailing around a bunch of islands or coastal area. Formation screen looks amazing. Can't wait to see the scope of the relationships. Nice to see crafting can take several ingredients (or was that the case before? can't remember).
Yeah, the idea of a ship sailing around to be your home base seems better than the Hall of Echoes (big mysterious fortress was done in DOS 1).
Formation changes are good too.
Interesting news that the shapeshifter stuff will be tied to the undead race. Suppose that solves the whole "OMG it's a SKELLY KILL IT!" issue.
And yay Sep 24. Doesn't feel too far away.
Part of me thinks it should be annoyed that the shapeshifter mask is seemingly Undead-only. But most of me just remembers that I never liked the concept of the shapeshifter mask in the first place and I swore to never use it anyway.
Sep. 24 feels too close, actually. Larian hasn't done basically anything with Talents and Racial bonuses since the beta began, and with the release date coming up and nothing on either in this patch, it's not looking like they ever will.
