I guess if I had to go into "dreamland" features that I'd REALLY love... hmmm...

I'd think some little, for fun mini-game style things to play with your companions. Particularly ones I can play with that may involve the lose of clothes, woooo! *Murdered by everything*

Well if it's a sequel maybe someway to transfer a save file to represent your choices? If not at least some sort of option to determine what choices a person may have picked last game? (Akin to Mass Effect 2's Genesis) Some people may not have gotten the expansion and will be very wierded out is Sauzer appears out of the blue as... well you know "blue".

The other thing is probably a few more sprites like that of getting injured or some fighting stances. Felt a bit wierd when frozen standing characters charged into each other. Perhaps some of the important dialogue/interludes may have more actual scenes depicted.

Other than that there is alot one can add to the world of Loren the Amazon Princess. Which from what I've seen is being done very well. I can only guess what villians there could be.
Demons, Undead, Golems, Elementals, Dragons, etc.

Yes there will be choices at beginning of the game to set what happened in the past.
About more sprites I'm going to try adding as much content as I can, within reasonable time/money constraints. The game already has much more CGs than the first one, almost double! :)

Well... I always had that little dream with Rei&Saren...
I think it would be interesting to see some "only hetero" or "only homo" characters switch to other team. Like after the time in Loren 1 they're starting to see Saren/Eleanor in different light. (Or maybe it's just me feeling like frustrating womanizer Rei with his feelings for Saren and making Draco/Myrth finding save heaven in arms of my strong, strighforward Eleanor~)

I remember when in Planet Stronghold 2 initially made prince Cliff and Lisa, most people really commented on how it was lame/unrealistic... :lol:
But in any case, changing the sexual orientation of some characters is impossible right now because all the romances have been drawn (and also most of them already colored). Sorry :)

I think it would be interesting, if there would be a slightly different storyline depending on the character you are playing.

i.E. if you play Elenor, you might be able to rally support from Karen for some sort of conflict because she likes females whilst as Saren you might just be ignored as some slave of her daughter. The Lizardmen you discovered in her personal quest might be such a support, if Karen was able to establish diplomatic relations.

I think this could be done with some small side quests, depending on 2-4 NPC's but may be a nice twist to the storyline to encourage multiple play throughs :-) Should not be too much storywriting / difficult scripting I think.

Dragon Age Origins used this to perfect the illusion of many different possible storylines while you where marching along the same old main storyline over and over again ;-)

Yes, but if I do that will be done as last thing, or in any case balanced (same amount of extra content for male/female players). It's not an easy design decision because from the info I gathered on my own and from other sources, very few % of players bothers to replay a game (and RPG in particular) to see the various differences. So if use development time to add several side quests instead of the main quest (the one that people will see for sure) it could be seen as making the game shorter for the highest % of people who won't bother with all the side quests.

hehe true.

But that is what I thought of. You get the same things just in another fashion ;-) (Elenor gets Lizardmen and Saren gets Dumbledor's ehhhhh Draco's army ;-) ).

From my experience (I am Gamemaster to a P&P Group and know the pain of developing a plot ;-) ) this won't be very much work and can be done with a few backgrounds and a bit of text.

Ooh, I thought so, but felt that great urge to share my desires here :P

If at all possible, I think it would be nice to have a feature that would let you reset and redistribute your skill points and abilities. There were points in both Loren and Planet Stronghold wherein I thought being able to do that would have been quite useful.
