I haven't read all of the topics, but I would like more details in the game.
Like in Exile or Avernum (www.spiderwebsoftware.com).
I'm sorry if somebody already suggested this.
I look forward to Book II.

More detailed game.
Probably more detailed story, Spiderweb tends to go into excruciating detail via text. Which is fine, Vogel is an incredible writer (in games and otherwise). I haven't felt that Eschalon lacked anything because many of the things that would just be described in a Spiderweb game is graphically depicted in Eschalon. I enjoy Vogel's detail, but to be honest I don't want Eschalon to add much more than it has, it's quickly become my wind down with a brew RPG. Spiderweb RPG's are usually accompanied by a pot of coffee.

Kind of.
I mean. . . in Exile you can lift even a plate, drinking glass, bread. The stories, not only in books, are longer. The explanations are detailed for everything. You have to think MUCH. There are so much objects you can lift, like every sword, every shield, every scroll, potion that you see.
Now, i like Eschalon Book 1, and this is just my idea for Book 2.

Yes it's true, Spiderweb games allow you to pick up everything. That doesn't mean it's necessary. I think Eschalon did an excellent job with inventory items, and such. It was a great game.
However, I do think that it would be cool to have more character detail. Not just your character but those that you interact with. It would be fun to have more dialogue options when speaking to NPCs. And it would be cool to have longer and more detailed quest chains.

Sure, it would be nice to have more items (and more detailed item descriptions) as well as a more interactive environment, but I don't think we need to go to the other extreme, where every item is useable/pickable. I, for one, don't really care if all the plates, cups and spoons on a dinner table can be picked up or not. I am content in having some items as decoration/local color only. Having said that, it would be great if there would be items e.g. on tables that you could pick up and not just in chests and barrels. Finding a correct balance between decoration items and usable items is up to subjective tastes and values, but I have hope that Book II's world will be more interactive and not just bigger than Book I.
