Character comments during combat.

[Gaseous Games]

It is probably to late for this but I would really have liked to see characters make comments during combat. Example: Spell casters hits a friendly with a spell and says "Whoops". A fighter goes for a fighter gets his about to hit a target and says "Strike True!". Anyway you get the idea. If it is in the final game i would be elated. If it is not, I already now the game will be AAA material.

On a side note I played Divine Divinity when it came out and was not impressed with the graphics but I is still one of my top 10 games of all time. I am 56 and have played at least of portion of over 7500 video games in my lifetime. Your studio to me represents quality that shines through with every product. I wish all of you well with this and future projects.

Could add a good bit of flavor, but is definitely one of those things that if it isn't added won't break my heart or anything, i'm still extremely happy with them making casters say unique incantations for every spell, as well as the bard's suite of insults:

Larian has become one of my favorite companies, they clearly have extreme respect and passion for their projects. I can't wait to see what they do in the future.

There's already quite a few 'wildlines' for things like Hide and other common actions. I really like this kind of banter, I hope they expand on it.

I agree, they have yet to make a game that made me think they are losing touch with players. I have seen a lot of companies that made great game after great game succumb to series of bad decisions that led to their downfall.

I love a success story and I have every game they made. I like some more than others, but none of them made me say "What the hell were they thinking!".

I am sure they will make other games and if they see this, just maybe they will add a feature like this to a future project. It is one of the only things missing from small party turn based and realtime rpg's. Fingers crossed for the future ( I have not even played this yet, and I have a wish list for something else...Jjjeeessshhhh!!)

What I'm saying is that these sorts of lines are already in the game, just not fir everything a character does...yet. It exists, but it could be expanded upon.

[Gaseous Games]

I understood what you were saying. As you said I would like to see it greatly expanded upon. I have watched combat videos and was hoping for something to really draw me in.

One last comment. I love the combat in every game the company has made. I am not a major rts player but Dragon Commander was still a great game. If I came of as saying anything negative about the game that was not my intention.

This has been one of my complaints, In DOS2 the characters are just so lifeless in combat. They could do somekind of Battle Personality feature. Everyone is quiet in combat when combat is over, then people start talking, thats like me with the girls.

Maybe too late for this game but they should really consider it for their next game. Character in combat and out of combat.

Hopefully Larian learns from it's mistakes with BG3. There's a lot of unfortunate corner cutting in the game just for the sake of arbitrary dialog options.

Committing a little too much to indifferent things and poor planning results in a lot of missed opportunities.

I would have also liked to see more life from the characters when traveling the world.

I hate to say it if they tried to cram everything in the game might be in the oven to long and get burned. Combat is usually a major part of rpg's and they have certainly created a great combat engine that offers a wealth of options. Also there are probably a 100's of great ideas thrown out for one reason or another. I would like to see this in a game in the futrue if not by larian (Even though they would be my top choice) Some other developer. Anyone can add dialog during combat. The trick is to make it sound believable, and not like someone wanted to give their girlfriend a chance to act.
