Having attempted to build my own game in the early 70s and discovering Tunnels and Trolls and the Original D&D ruleset ended that process quickly. I have played just about every BG title to completion and run 1000s of D&D games including a persistent world in NWN I have a little experience in all of this. I REALLY want this game to be as good as it can possibly be. There is no way to please everyone and nothing is easy about making useful NPCs with a good story. Remember this is a video game not PnP tabletop play and it is very hard to translate those things into something enjoyable. We should all be applauding Larians effort at such a difficult task and do our best to give them useful info to improve the game as playtesters. Thank you very much Larian Studios !
