Also....texture loading / pop in. Good god. I'm guessing this was done to reduce loading times, but having that unloaded armour textures similar to Unreal Engine 3 back in the day doesn't make the game feel polished.
But I guess if they loaded in the game only after all the textures are fully loaded, I would then be complaining about the load times - which to me, was a gripe in DoS II. Long load times. I can never get over the fact that the loading percentage shows 100%, but i still have to wait another 10 seconds for the game to start.
