I noticed that you are no longer able to learn where the companions are(you were able to at the version v0.955).When you ask the traveler where your companions are and after he asks who you are looking for,your character says nevermind and you can't learn where they are located.Is this a bug or was it intentionally removed? If this is not a bug then there is no point of even still keeping this question at the dialogs py. since there is no point of asking where your companions are,if you can't get an answer.
At v0955 this was possible and the travelers pointed you to the right direction where the companion you were looking for was exactly located.It was a brilliant feature and saved the players from the trouble of searching each and every tavern at Calradia for the specific companion/s he/she desired.
Apart from that why on earth is the Great Lance completely removed from the game? I checked ingame and couldn't find it,and then suspected that it was removed,unfortunately saw that it was true after I examined the item_kinds.txt and couldn't spot the great lance.. Two types of western typed lances were great:
- Jousting lance (does not deal lethal damage)
- Great lance(lethal damage) and if the player wanted to roleplay a western(medieval) typed character,great lance was arguably the sole type of polearm weapon and the best choice for roleplaying a knight or a noble,completing the harmony of your equipment.. Now it's gone.. And I can't understand why.
Also the new texture and model for the bastard sword(introduced to us with the release of v.950) is clearly inferior to the previous one,judging by how it looks.It seems too simple,too plain and probably a little shorter.The previous bastard sword was excellent looking,dangerous.. seeming like ready to strike any moment.. Sorry but I don't understand why the devs ever bothered to replace one of the best(coolest) looking weapons with an inferior texture...
Moreover,why is the blood toned down a considerable amount? Does mountnblade have profit concerns to the gore and being rated +18,mature or something? I keep killing the foes,and my sword is as clean as a white sheet of paper,no blood on it... Unlike the previous versions(especially v.0903.) Please bring the blood,blood stains on the sword,axe,lance textures back.It kills off the realism.
One last thing.. I haven't noticed any significant changes at the character gen screen..The old harsh face isn't back either.
I hope there won't be unpleasant surprises at v1.00... It's better to build on something rather than taking out or botch some material people got accustomed to.Thank you.
