Thank you for an excellent and honest...Hi Shatiel,<br /><br />Thank you for an excellent and honest post!<br /><br />I believe you summed up my precise feelings about crafting prior to my own improvements. And it's great to see you have recognised all those points that I have made to try to make crafting both easier and more fun!<br /><br />To add to comments I have already made about crafting, I have also made sure that items *can* be made without having to spend too much time "searching". The idea is that crafting items will be more readily available, with the main "puzzle" being that the player is left to put the parts together in a way that appeals to them. As the world of Althéa is considered a low level magik environment, then the items created can quickly better any found (in theory). I aim to place enough crafting components within an immediate area to enable crafting to be possible according to the player's current abilities at crafting.<br /><br />There are quite an amount of random factors involved too, which means it may be possible to craft some items earlier than even I realise. :)<br /><br />Your English is very well written, and I thank you for the time you took to write the post. I hope after playing the module that you feel crafting becomes more interesting ... most of all though, I hope you enjoy the module anyway. ;)<br /><br />Lance.Lance Botelle (Bard of Althéa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16124192098553066324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776163819760508132.post-18860023563860287982011-01-18T11:46:07.874+00:002011-01-18T11:46:07.874+00:00Sorry, I'm not a big fan of crafting in nwn. I...Sorry, I'm not a big fan of crafting in nwn. I've always found a bit boring all the wandering around you have to do in order to find all the ingredients you need to built something. <br />Probably the fact that in the main campaigns the objects you could create were also weaker compared to the ones you could find didn't help either. Why create a +4 sword enchanted with ice damage when you could have [insert cool name in nwn style]?<br />Probably in a no magic setting crafting would acquire a new fondamental meaning but otherwise is difficult (for me) to find that activity appealing.<br />I admit that all the improvement you have made help a lot: first the "all in one" recipe book then the bag that automatically carries all the components and lastly all the info you can get from the description surely are a big improvement. That said, even if I chose the "hell no!" answer in the poll, I'll try your implementation, at least once, to see if they can sparkle some interest in that skills I always neglected, probably you won't make a blacksmith out of me but who knows, maybe I'll finally use that simple sword with the ice damage!<br /><br />[whoa, I cannot belive I have written that much in english!
