HomeLAN - What other improvements and additons will be put into the expansion?
Ian Davis - We've focused a lot of attention on the UI and AI. Characters are more responsive to their party-mates' situations, and the player will find the additions we made to the control-grouping scheme priceless. In LOA, using the ctrl-groups lets you store not just which slot is active, but which spells are in the active slot. This really opens up quick access to the whole variety of spells for the user!
Tara Teich - One of my favorite new features is Redistribute Potions. With the click of a button, your party members run together to share out your potion stash - melee fighters getting the bulk of the health potions, and mages get the mana potions. Right before battle, I always hit the button to make sure everyone will be prepared!
If they add a move to the nearest monster button, you could play the entire thing by just clicking two buttons. Wouldn't that be fun?
