1. the enemy archers do not work
2. break the game to get in some areas
3. There is a ring found in a house PhortPentyrich can not be sold or removed from inventory
4. Witch's sword to kill the child vampire not working properly, it can be killed by any weapon.
5. NPCs are clustered around a single point in the area (bug?)
tips to improve gameplay:
1. enemies are few and weak, mages need more power and better spells.
2. conversations with the NPCs need to be further shortened, but more speech options
3. why wait and talk to many NPCs to solve the quests?
4. add new items in the game, the existing ones are very weak
5. after solving the quests get more xp
6. split the xp for each sub-quest solved
7. add more minor quests in the game, especially in the new area of the district
8. especialy and more challenging encounters with good rewards in gold and items
The game is very good for your first release, and new areas of the graphics are excellent and the idea of quests, but needs improvement to be even more attractive.

Possible problems;
1. Where?
2. More details please!
3. Again, where? Which area?
4. As long as CHARNAME is holding the Vampire Blade when the child vampire is killed the quest will update. It was not possible to do it any other way.
5. Known bug
.
Suggestions:
1. The entire quest was meant to fit in with the original game, thus enemies etc. have the same powers, spells, weapons as any Bioware NPC would. XP is also given out to the same general levels.
2. Most NPC conversations can be bypassed.
3. It's meant to be a roleplaying mod, so I deliberately did not include hack'n'slash. I don't want to go down that route - there's far too many Hackmaster +12 mods already, IMHO.
4. As (1)
5. As (1)
6. There was a very good reason for not doing this, but I've forgotten what it was...
7. I had to chose a time to say 'enough is enough', otherwise I could have been developing forever.
8. As (1)
Many thanks for the feedback - especially the bug reports!

2. stairs in Celendor (some times game crash)
3. in one chest in house
4. yes is possible. I kill with minsc without sword
5. =(
1. need improvments, ia is weak, especially the wizards in Celendor (spells the end very fast). I deslike mods with overpowered weapons and enemies.
2. conversations could be more dynamic, as in the original game with more choices of speech. (the contents of the speeches is very good).
3. roleplay with action is the best way for fun =) (the roleplay is very good, need more action - no overpower itens enemies).
4. no overpower ones! diferent itens, this encourages players to visit all areas of the game.
5. hard work need one good reward!
6. in original baldur's this works so well =)
7. okey
8. (1) (2) (3) (4) xD
good luck in the future releases!

Known issue - I mentioned it to Yovaneth some time ago and suggested we could address it in Elminster's dialogue, but IIRC he said that might break the "fourth wall" (understandable). I don't think we can solve it short of some sort of TobEx hack (which I asked about here). You can restore your portrait manually if you need to.From another thread:
Spoiler(perhaps randomly?): here
Known issue as Yovaneth says, but also I thought a *fixed* issue. I offered a quick patch for this a while back but he said he fixed it manually (apparently missing a few). It has to do with the Destination Coordinates in the area file actors section being different from the Current Coordinates (typically these should be the same except in very special circumstances).5. NPCs are clustered around a single point in the area (bug?)

Are we using different versions of the mod?
In the TP2 of the one downloaded from SHS there's no such code, just downloaded to recheck.

Well I'm probably looking at a prerelease v1, but in that tp2 the section is somewhere between copying //2da and //Items //Cloudpeaks. I edited it rather heavily around this time but didn't think I took out that section. Anyway, it sounds like it needs to go back in.

I had some closer look at the game after the installation. Haven't played the mod yet though. Here's the list of issues reported.
1. YS1001N.WED is reported corrupted by NI. Opening and saving in DLTCEP solves the problem.
2. ARE issues reported (with comments, except for WAVs - they are missing, so I do not know if they will cause a crash or not):

Note that area files (in BG2) typically ignore actor-level script and dialogue settings (they're more prevalent in IWD etc.) but the other items probably bear closer investigation.

Hi Yovaneth,
I've just started to play FFT, which sounds very promising.
When I moved from Docks (or others districts in Athkatla) to Gov. West, I spent eight hours for the journey. Is it intended?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

The problem is in the worldmap patch - it isn't absolutely perfect and one problem we had is that we weren't able to define a travel time from each area to each area, just a global travel time. Consequently, local travel from Government District West says eight hours instead of zero.Hi Yovaneth,

Talking about govt district west, it seems kind of well empty. I did find a dwarf who told me not to go upstairs and that was about it. In the bioware bits, there is usually a few npcs that point out hey go this way and hey this is what's going on in this area (town criers and exposition npcs). The district doesn't seem to have that just empty houses and the only way to find anything to move the plot forward or even interact with is to open every door and peek inside.
edit: and the other bioware athkalta city areas are explored already (except I think bridge) and have the labels on key buildings (five flagons playhouse, copper coronet, etc)

There are as I recall more the West Govt. district than you see then. I can recall three other small quests and there are other houses to look into (with interest). Labels on key buildings: It's up to Yovaneth, but I'd rather avoid those...
And you can attract vampires there too

Also after beginning and leaving Chateau Irenicus then the Promenade, gov't west was available along with slums. All parts of the city are supposed to be greyed out to force you to go to the slums to meet gaelen bayle.
