<blockquote>Previously, a fighter was a fighter, and there wasn’t much difference between two melee-based party members. Now with the skills and powers you can start to create more specialized characters. One fighter can be the traditional tank, where he can soak up damage like a sponge but not deal out much of it while the second fighter deals out fast damage, but can’t take too much of a beating.</blockquote>Huh? A tough fighter who can't fight vs a good fighter who can't stand. Tough choice.

<blockquote>The pack mule is back, but has undergone a hefty redesign. In the original game, you’d end up with so much crap loot you were letting significant amounts of it rot on the ground since you already had 15 rusty axes or didn’t have a party member who could use the item. You can now feed those items to the pack-mule which will force him to level – in addition to being your valet, now he’s a garbage masher as well.</blockquote>Loot-eating mule, that's something you don't see every day. And they said that Shrek's donkey was cool.

There are no words...... :shock:

A lot of stupid stuff happens in fantasy games but a loot-eating mule is by far the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. If a game developer can't come up with better player rewards than equine feed, maybe leave it out of the game?

On the upside, at least that guy that was suggesting the curved lightsabres has found a good job over at GPG.

I'm looking foward to this game as much as I am looking forward to getting a good dose of rectal crabs. Even reality TV has more excitement than point, click ,watch and yawn. At least give me a donkey that will feed on dungeon walls so that I can tunnel the hell out of this yawnfest.

Maybe we can put that mule to work cleaning up NWN's garbage crates

So the Barrel Master prestige class was only for mules.... Who knew?

The loot-eating mule reminds me of the Simpson's ep where Homer is sitting at the dinner table, making a circus tent out of mashed potatoes, and finally blurts out: "That's it - you people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to Clown College!" He runs out of the room, and Bart looks around at the rest of the family before saying, "I don't think any of us expected him to say that."

I thought it was Goats who ate garbage and stuff, not mules...
