1024x768 is minimum.

1280x1024 would be great for most ~19" LCD users - for me (CRT user) it doesn't matter as long as my 8800gts will be up with it.

Same for me. After some time of thinking about it I'd better stay with the Book I engine and work it out.

Add higher resolutions, maybe races or multiclassing, new items, et cetera and just don't make Book II a clone of Book I with other story.

I would say #1 but I'm not sure. I need time to think about it. It would be nice to see a co-op in Book II, but a party based singleplayer in Eschalon, err? Maybe. But then the fighting system should be replaced with a new one. What do you think about adding an action points based on speed and/or ot...

You must have rolled almost all 14's! Only about a 0.003% chance of rolling stats with a collective score that high or better. I see that I was preety lucky. An early taken screenshot: http://images29.fotosik.pl/118/ce06a91cd086f09dm.jpg But hey, it's after adding 15 points from the "starting ...

The bow skill would be kinda useful for a warrior, although it takes some points to train it and I don't know how high ToHit ratio on the first level of skill is. I've spent much time on rolling and I after some time rolled an interesting stats - 18/17/18/17/14/14/11/14. So my concentration isn't to...

But how are you going to implement (explain) this into the storyline?

All in all it's a good news :).

Re: Wish List for Book II?

please give us the choice of sex, at least Male/Female. As far as I know it's impossible, becouse Book II will be sequel to Book I. I mean - second part will begin, where first has ended, so it would be strange if character would have changed his gender [ugh, don't know if I wrote it well]. My requ...

it would be perfectly at home on retail shelves if it wasn’t for the fact that 2D games have been long abandoned. Oww... Well, it's true but personally I think that the best RPG games was in 2D. I don't like those 3D RPGs like Witcher, Neverwinter Nights or whatever. Look at Ultima, Baldur's Gate...

Breaking some NPC's out of Jail would be cool too. For some reason I enjoyed getting thrown in Jail while playing the Ultima games...maybe I have an evil side somewhere in there.. :shock: Ultima Online jails, that's it :). On the server, on which i played, we had a 'work camp' instead of jail. If y...

No problem Vennor! The issue really comes down to development resources. I often point to Fallout's credit listing...there were 100+ people on that game and probably 3-5 million dollars of development cost. Basilisk Games has barely a fraction of those kinds of resources. :cry: We'll see where the ...

This is really a question about game design in general.... A town with many people would appear realistic, but what purpose does it serve in the game? In a town of 200 people, not everyone can have a quest or an important piece of information, right? So to fully populate a town, that would make for...

A question from me: will we meet many people in towns?

It would by nice to see prosperous and densely populated city than only few persants and traders (I'm not talking about some abandoned places of course) :).

Yeah, I said this in other topic too ;).
