Please, for the love, please, please, PLEASE add initiative by character as an option instead of initiative by team. That completely breaks the immersion as a D&D-based combat. You can even leave party-based as the primary...just add an option that allows us to play initiative by character. PLEASE. That is such a CRITICAL part of D&D turn-based combat, especially in 5E. There are so few other things that I saw in the gameplay that I would even mention as things I'd like to see changed...it's really just that. Please. I don't know if I could get past that.
Other stuff, which I really don't care too much because they're easy to just not-use, is like dipping a wooden bow into lava grants it the ability to deal fire damage? Is the lava magical? I would never use that feature...that's just not D&D either. But, again, I can just avoid using that feature and I'll never notice once I'm actually playing the game.
Literally, this game looks so incredibly amazing I can't wait to buy it the second it hits pre-order or EA. It looks so close to being a Babe Ruth size homerun...but please....please...don't ruin the whole game with team initiative. That is so, so, so bad.
