I think the combat poses look a bit too lax. They should be more ready with swords (and staff) pointing at their enemies, not casually chilling around.

I mean, I can understand the different poses from an artistic point of view, but the fight scene looks almost too relaxed to me.

I am aware of that, yes. There's been a lot going on with the first photoshoots and a lot of changes in the meantime, and I am inclined to redo them all in the future. Really time-consuming stuff, but will be probably necessary by the time the game is ready for a beta.

I really like that mechanism but it can be really tough on non-native speakers.
Here, for example, there's only one word i can find but i'm not quite sure it works.

FROWN

Well, at least, it's better with the letters, there's no way i could find the solution of this one without them.

The solution is
SWORD
But the nice thing is that there's a limited number of letters on each tumbler, so you can brute-force it if you want :)

If its anything like Betrayal at Krondor, each box has a selection of letters which change with a click of the mouse. The answer to this one is probably
'Sword'.

Edit: Damn, beat me to it.

Well, it's probably easier when you know how it works, well, as long as it's sword like words, i think i'll be fine.
Doubt you'll have much to worry about, though it may take a few readings to fully process. If a riddle aims to be fun, simplicity is key. The answer should hide right under your nose. Most answers in BaK were 3-6 letter words. Here's a classic you may have heard before:

A barrel of rainwater
weighs twenty pounds.
What must you add
to make it weigh fifteen?
The answer is 'Holes'. I would've also accepted 'Duck' out of pity.

How many wordlock chests were there in BaK? I don't remember if I've bought it yet, but I've been seriously considering it.
