I wish all these threads and Niara's focused feedback posts would be moved to the Mega-Thread section (which is not large enough to really justify being its own forum's section, and still struggling to find its purpose.) That section should be renamed "Comprehensive Feedback", and reserved only for stuff like this.
These threads are too good to just get buried beneath random one off posts, especially as the Feedback and General forums sections continue to become indistinguishable from one another. These peeps have clearly taken the time and are giving very solid and thorough feedback, the devs need to read this stuff.
Thanks. That's an idea for Vometia to consider and decide I suppose. One could indeed imagine that the Mega-Thread sub-forum would be for big feedback lists, and the S&F forums more for single-topic feedback. On the other hand, there would certainly be a lot of overlap. On the other, other hand, there is already some overlap between General and S&F, as you say.
I don't know if Niara plans to send all of their Focused Feedback series in one go, or sends a feedback form to Larian after each chapter/part/focus. I'll send mine in a single, big form when I'm all done.
I wish you could control characters in the same way as BG1+2.
Yes, that system worked well. I don't know how much the current group controls are deeply tied to the game engine they are using, and much work Larian would be ready to put to overhaul the controls. I also don't know how much they like the feel of the current system (which, to me, feels more inspired by console controller and touch-screen than keyboard+mouse). But even within what they are currently going for, there is a lot of room for improving the controls. At the end of the day, I don't care what the controls will be, so long as they are good, i.e. they provide a smooth experience.
Being the controls in a video game must be a shit job, compared to being the cinematics : if you're top notch, most players won't even notice how good you are.
