Well, hopefully it will actually matter in the game. If you are not a Shaper, but can make creations and use magic at the beginning of the game, then it's not so interesting.

Err..."big '?' ". The thing on the map denoting an important person. Fixed.

Initial impressions - pretty much what I expected, feels like more of the same but updated a bit. Somewhat annoying that there are only 2 slith and nephilim graphics...if I wanted a party of all one or the other, I could see a problem. Most of the streamlined things, like the elimination of arrows and the big "?" by NPCs I like, though I could see it annoying a few people. The circle for area of effect spells looks cool but I think a grid system like in Exile would do a better job of showing who is in the radius and who isn't. Overall, about what I expected so far (only played a round a bit).

Besides having to manually reset the screen size (unless you don't mind playing it in a box), it works just fine for me. I recently started it up again as I found it to be the most compelling spidweb game to date in some ways...I'm hoping whatever Jeff plans next will recapture some of the magic there.
