Yeah. I also have a problem with the sense of timelessness. Larian, please redo a few things like:
- From the telescope, I can see Waukeen's Rest burning as if the attack on it just occurred. But then, I spend 5 LRs to get there and it's still burning and they say they just got attacked. We need to remove the burning inn from the telescope. Have it NOT burning when you look at it from the telescope.
- I do the entire Waukeen's Rest quest, and LR several times. Then I head to the Gith Patrol, and the inn is still burning and the Flaming Fist are still there mourning the dead. If I've completed the quest, the fire should go out, and the place should become abandoned. Either that, or the Flaming Fist leave a small patrol to guard what's left. SOMETHING besides leaving it burning and them mourning forever.
- If I talk to the three tieflings in the grove, and I get them to agree to stay and help fight, they make their way down by where Ethel and the other cook are. Then they talk endlessly about how Rolan "cares about our lives, our futures!" Even when you talk to them again at that location, once you say goodbye, they STILL carry on that same conversation. I don't know why, but that one drives me the most insane. I mean, others do it too, but that particular one just hits a nerve or something. I'd rather have background ambiance conversation-sounding noise than actual conversations repeated over and over and over again. Maybe the first time I make my way through, that's fine. But after that? No. Repeated conversations are fine for NPCs in video games where they aren't voiced. Once you voice them, they get REAL annoying REAL fast.
