I always have a laundry list of ideas/changes when I'm playing, but when I get to actually hopping on the forums, my mind blanks... I just hate that... So, I'm just going to post as they come to me. Most, if not all have been stated previously, and being EA, I'm sure there will be a lot implemented via the ideas of the players, hence why these are only ideas.
1. The "Metal Gauntlets". A good idea, bu they are light armor. Any kind of plate armor, should be heavy. I like the idea of separate body pieces of armor, granting different things, but I think there should be leather gauntlets and plate gauntlets. Leather gauntlets, would be light armor, and might give a bonus to to Dex checks, where plate gauntlets, being heavy armor give a bonus to Con checks. Where scale or chain gauntlets (medium armor) would give the Str check bonus.
2. I think I mentioned this when the druid patch came out, but remember, druids cannot where metal armor of any sort (hence the suggestion above). If they do, they lose all spells and benefits of being a druid. The only exception to this is he scimitar, which due to it's design as looking like a crescent moon, is allowed by the circles. (same reasoning as the sickle) Druids cannot wear scale armor, unless it is dragon scale, and the idea of wearing metal gloves or boots is just wrong to a druid.
3. I know this has been said before, but I would like throw it out here again. A 5 member party. This way you can have your balanced party (tank, healer, rogue, mage), and also have a spare slot to pretty much play with however you see fit. I understand this would require rebalancing, but I think it would make trying to figure out what character to give up, in order to play the character you want, much better.
That being said, I LOVE the new dialog options for the druids while in the grove! It makes playing a druid (my favorite class) much more worthwhile in understanding much of the story with Khaga and the others.
As always, Larian, great job with what you are doing! It's been a long raod and it's going to be a bit longer, but I, personally would rather see a completed, balanced and deep product, than one that was rushed out the door.
