What I like to see in Patch 6....

1) Rescale and/or redesign the weapons. Majority of the weapons appear to be the same size. IE, the longsword and greatsword are barely indistinguishable from one another. Another example, the hand axe should be the size of a hatchet. And the daggers. Can we talk about those? They do not exist. Every dagger in the game thus far look more like knives. If I recall correctly, daggers are double edged where as knives of this period are only single edged. And all the "daggers" I have seen in the game thus far are single edged. So, again, the weapons of this game needs some serious modifications and repairs.

2) I would love to see more freedom in character creation. A lot more options if you will, please. IE, the ability to choose our starting gear based on class and background like in the PHB. The ability to dictate where our weapons are sheathed. For example, longswords/shortswords/rapiers/hand axes/maces/etc can be worn at the hip too, not just the back. And for the love of all that is holy and unholy, take the extra time to create sheaths for the swords and daggers, please. The ability to choose our own color scheme for our clothing and gear. Add cloaks to gear options. More tattoo options to choose from and not just for the face. There is such a thing as body tattoos too, ya know. And I would love to see you all bring back the dice rolling options for stats like in BG 1 & 2.

3) The cinematics are in dire need of fixin. For example, The cut scene where you speak with the hobgoblin and his Mindflayer friend in the underdark. Before patch 5, it was working well. After patch 5, it is not working at all. A bit of repair/polishing of all the cut scenes are in order.

4) I'm not fully expecting this in patch 6 as this could be a huge giant undertaking, but can we have the option of modifying the origin characters a bit? Like changing their sex, color schemes, hair styles, and starting gear just to name a few. Cause I seriously hate Astarion's and Lae'Zel's hair styles with a passion. And I would love to see what the opposite sex of the current companions be like.

5) In all my play throughs, I found that I could possibly achieve level 6 in Act 1. So I would love to see the level cap increased to lvl 6.

6) Wizards should not be able to learn divine spells through scrolls. According to 5e rules, it is not possible. Divine magic is way different than Arcane magic. Unless the divine spell is also available for the arcane. IE the Animate Dead spell. It is available for both the divine and the arcane. This is something that other players have brought up. As far as I am concerned, leave it be as I am loving it. But fare is fare.

7) Please drop the advantage/disadvantage due to having high/low ground. Just cause you have high ground, don't mean you have advantage over others. Unless you have the sun at your back that will blind those that try to look at you, high ground will only make you an easier target for range attacks. Especially during dusk and dawn as your silhouette will stand out more. And just cause you have low ground, don't mean you are at a disadvantage. Snipers love taking cover in low ground. Makes them nearly impossible to be seen. And they can use the high ground silhouette their enemies make to their advantage. I mean, snipers love high ground too but only if they have total concealment and/or cover. Therefore reducing their silhouette drastically to out right removing it completely. So again, remove the High Ground advantage and Low Ground Disadvantage please.

8) There are many bugs in the game that are needing fixed. For example, weapons not properly placed when being held at the ready. Bodies ragdolling uncontrollably long after being killed and then glitching. Interactive objects/ladders/vines/etc unable to be interacted with due to being out of reach for some odd reason. Inability to reach areas that are supposed to be accessible. Even with the jump action. Keep getting messages like "Out of Reach", "Too high", "Not enough space", etc.

9) Only rogues get to use the Stealth option as a bonus action due to their cunning skill. It's one of the abilities that makes the Rogues unique. Let's not take that away from them. So, make the stealth option use up an action for the rest of the classes. Leve it a bonus action only for the Rogues. Please and thank you.

10) I would love to see more subclass options for the current classes. For example, add more traditions for the wizards. Add more domains for the clerics. Add stuff out of "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything", IE the Psychic Warrior subclass for the fighter (Would be perfect for Lae' Zel).

11) I would love to see new playable races. IE the half-orc, gnome, goblin, human variant, asimar and even the custom race from "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything."

12) Maybe adding the Paladin, Barbarian, and Bard classes to the mix for us to toy around with.

13) And for the love of all that is holy and unholy, destroy barrelmancy for good. Seriously. Let it die the horrible death it so rightfully deserves. It's a bit OP. And besides, who in their right mind would leave barrels of explosive substances laying about just waiting for some jackass to hit them with fire? Even goblins are not that stupid. If they are part of the story arc, fine. But in random dungeons or in places where people eat/sleep/shit? Really? Those things would be placed in a storage room faaaaaaaaaaaaar from people's living domiciles. And even then, they would be in areas where they would be used say like, mining storages, construction storages, and even military storages. All though, these storage areas for explosives would still be faaaaaaaaar from civilization and domiciles for safety in order to prevent accidental exploding and death.

14) Can we have the ability to turn off the voice responses our characters make when we give them a command to do something. IE I point to a spot and click for my party to move to that spot. The character I am currently controlling makes a comment akin to, "Will I ever get a break?" It was annoying in BG 1 & 2 and it is just as annoying or more so in BG 3. So, again. Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have the ability to turn that stupid thing off!?!?
