<hr />Quote: Just a small thing really, the possibility to click on placables without them falling through ones placed below them.<hr />Heh. This has to be in the top 5 of the designer pet peeve list. Needless to say, if I don't make "snap to ground" optional, I'm going to have an angry mob waving pitchforks and torches outside my office. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif

<hr />Quote: go on nwvault, find the owners, email em, whoop, you have your mount with no work involved!<hr />Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but this may be the most optimistic statement I've seen in quite some time. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_biggrinno.gif

Request: Inventory Management (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=412897&post=3431642&forum=98&highlight=)
Inventory is being changed fairly significantly. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Question to devs - texture size? (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=414521&post=3431817&forum=99&highlight=)
<hr />I'm doing most of my development of textures at 1024x1024, with the assumption that I'll probably reduce it in size to 512x512 or even 256x256.<hr />That sounds about right.

[Suggestion] A return to the classics (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=414362&post=3431407&forum=97&highlight=)
I think Dr. Boron must have snuck in and read some of our design documents. What you want, is very close to what we're shooting for. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

GUI Customizeable? (http://nwn2forums.bioware.com//forums/viewpost.html?topic=410187&post=3431700&forum=100&highlight=)
<hr />I think what I'm vague on is whether or not the custom GUI only allows you to reskin existing controls and buttons, or allow some degree of custom interaction. If you can display specific messages in a window or create a button that sends a signal to the module, then things get pretty interesting. In terms of some way to bring one's adventure around with you, I've toyed with the idea. I'd probably end up using a journal object whose tag changes subtly as you make your choices.<hr />Reskinning existing controls and windows is roughly where it's at right now. Being able to add custom callbacks (via script) is where I'd like to take it, but that's down the line.
