Easter Eggs

What use are these save for leveling up in the goblin citadel? Is that the only use they have or is there any other?

A couple of questions

-The Slider on the crypt in Tangletree Ossuary: How do you find the answer? Just random clicking every number until one works, or is the answer somewhere in the gameworld? -I found an easter egg in Tangltree Ossuary. What can I do with it? Is it just to look pretty? (which it is ;) ) -Where can I fi...

So there is no upper cap to skills? Technically, you could spend all your skill points on one skill after level 1 and take it up to 80 or so?

U7 had some amazing innovations that have never been replicated until this very day.
I mean, you could take a bag of flour, a pail of water, mix them, ut them into an over, cook them (all of this animated IN game) and make bread.

Whch you could then eat or sell. :D

I'm not a big fan of vampires in fantasy settings, especially not as PCs. Seems to mash genres and become a focal point all too easily. Plus, they've been done. It's not at all unique to have vampires; there's very little left one can do with them that hasn't already been done and overdone. You do ...

Vampyre in 2nd edition?

Would it be possible to include a vampire race, or an option to become a vampire in game? You could have a mesmerize ability, ability to shapeshif into wolf/mist. Additioanlly, if you attack unarmed you gain health for damage dealt (blood drain). Plus you have a massive bonus to speed, dex and Stren...

Option 2 will be buildin gupon the first game. basically its just the first game + party (either you generate the party or people join you). Would it really require that much reworking of the engine?
