Since
that last post I fixed almost all of the bugs identified in the last
playthrough, and have just finished up another test playthrough. This
time I got almost to the end and got stopped by a walkmesh issue
(transitioning to an area with a complicated walkmesh), so I made it
maybe 90% of the way through the main path. I'd guess about 20 hours of
gameplay if you do everything I think.
[counts up screenshots I took of bugs...] About 50 bugs or so from
this playthrough. Some are basic things like typos, some are stopping
some sidequests or are related to the custom class/feat work. This test
was more focused on the main plot though, so four larger sidequest areas
didn't get any testing as I wanted to check how combat balance would be
if the player was main quest focused. Combat balance was somewhat
improved with this playthrough, needs further tweaking, I ran into a
couple of spots where I needed to break out the testers dagger of doom.
