The quicksavers are more passionate than the ones that need decisions made for them, so I don't get why he's screwing around with this and turning people off. Is it because of the first one where you couldn't quicksave? Docking was something that happened in the original Elite and annoyed people, but nobody wanted that back. What a bunch of extra work (not using the engine's built-in capabilities for saving) for no benefit.

The party thing stuns me as well. Bard's Tale has always had the problem of one of the least-interesting classes, the bard, being eponymous. I get that they are making the bard class more exciting for this game, but with 4 spots you get one real class choice, since everyone will have at least 2 spellcasters.

They don't know if they are animating the party or yet for a possible third person view, but it is very odd to me that they're going with 4 + a monster + an NPC. ESPECIALLY if there won't be an option to pull the camera back for fights because if you can't see the spot reserved for the monster then who gives a shit enough to have one? "Oh great, this thing I didn't make and can't see and don't care about did 20 damage."

Weird, weird, weird. I'd hate to have one real choice between Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Monk and Rogue for that last spot.
