When I first starting playing DD & then BD, on the very easy selection, it was so difficult to do anything that it always causes me to give up. Later on a patch is devised to correct this, but this is something that should be corrected before the game hits the shelf. Doesn't anyone play this game from beginning to end, noting all the bugs and errors before release? I know that could become potentially time-consuming, but wouldn't you rather that a near perfect game was released than a bug-riddled game? 5 patches later, lockpick & alchemy still doesn't work the way it should. Overall the complexity, graphics and sheer magnitude of DD & BD were excellent, & also very original. A 'hearty well-done' to the staff of Larian. Definitely keep the attack method of point and click, don't need to make things more complex than necessary. Spellforce did that and it sucks. Another thing I noticed was that the trading skill really doesnt do anything in BD. The costs of potions is so expensive when the game is first started that you cant even afford to buy any. I think that should be adjusted as well. I definitely look forward to the next game, when will that be released anyways? Will it be years from now perhaps? I hope not.
