R17 with Sir Hemlock

[GRAPHICS]
10/10
Well done Portalarium... my jaw dropped. I could not believe my eyes in Owlshead; the vibrant colours; the foliage. Shroud is becoming a heartbreakingly beautiful game to behold.

I maintain my suspicion that someone on the dev team has made a pact with Satan to achieve such incredible graphics


[OVERLAND MAP]
8/10
Looks great!

It now feels like I am progressing amply across the map thanks to increased movement speed from a dawdle to an amble.

Travel speed would be perfect it were just a fraction quicker on both the overland map and within hexes. Getting close

GREATLY appreciate now being able to freely look around the map so I can see where I am heading.


[CRAFTING]
'unrated'
It will be tested. But not yet.

Since I am not a fastidious crafter I am waiting for this system to be more complete and refined before testing.


[COMBAT SYSTEM]
'unrated'
I did not revisit combat in R17 either, sorry.


[MUSIC]
'unrated'
Completely forgot there was music, sorry lol. Was too busy gawking at the nice graphic work.


Please see my previous release feedback for the rest. I realize there is a lot more I should review and at a depth only possible in 'Hemlockian land'- but time is running away from me and I'll never catch up to it unless I get back to work
Overall score 7/10

Ultimately, will I play the game? Not unless the card/hotbar system is discarded utterly and a more traditional 'Ultimaesque' system introduced.
