Hi,

The idea of the packmule was in Dungeon Siege. What do you guys think of adding something similar to this in RiftRunner or Divinity 2?

Thanks.

The horse could be good for travel, if they can successfully implement it into combat, etc. As for the pack-mule, it adds too much to the desire for loot. I know we're all looters at heart, but it's not what the game is about. As long as the Teleporter Stones are there, a pack-mule is unnecessary. And with a party of people, you'll be able to carry more loot anyway.

Horses would be cool (If they already have thought and dev ideas on how to impliment it).

Pack mule, no. It was essential to DS but I dont think it belongs in the DD universe. (Though a pack mule could make a guest appearance)

ugh... being in the game would be great...but going through the game 10 times and credits 100 times and not seeing your name in there would really dissapoint people...like when i woke up and my tooth was still under my pillow... or thinking that you would get invited to one of your friends party but not getting invited..and you have to ask him about it...and he says no in front of your face...thats what it is like i fyour name isnt in the credits or isnt in the game...so all im saying is....dont get your hopes up....

Lynn,
Since you are so busy with the game, maybe you could name somebody a moderator for your abscence? I do not mean myself, I mean Kiya, Raze or Alrik, but I guess it would be keep forums in a better shape and you wouldn't have to worry about.
Of course that's just a suggestion, it can be an awful suggestion too :0).
