Character selection Screen.

[Kromize]

Hmm, I want my old, outside view back.

So, why don't you put in option in that lets us choose our background? (;

Just a thought.

[Laith]

more options wouldn't hurt. maybe a different one for each race (like many other games).

my only complaint is that it takes so long to load my characters in that screen that i generally select one and go in the game before it finishes. might just be me though.

It isn't only you... same here, and it is annoying.

I also really want to loot that chest off to the side, but that is another story.

The background could 'progress' as the character in question progresses through the game.

A possible solution would be to base the background on which quests the character has completed.

I.e.

#. [as background (what should be completed)]

1. Korthos
2. harbor (as soon as the character has left Korthos)
3. marketplace (WW / sealed writ of commendation)
4. generic wilderness or crypt (TR / SC / Gwylan's / Delera's)
5. Tempest's Spine (Sor'jek)
6. House Kundarak (Velah / VoN 1-4 completed)
7. Zawabi's Refuge (Lailat / Wiz King, OoB or CoF completed)
8. Gianthold (Stormreaver / member of one of the brigades)
9. Necropolis (Abbot / all 3 crypts completed)
10. Reaver's Refuge (Sor'jek mk. II / EtK, PotH or MotS completed)

Race and/or class could be other possible variables.

I.e.

Paladin: temple of the Sovereign Host
Barbarian: wilderness
Wizard: library
etc

or (the character creation screen used to have these set by race)

Human: House Deneith
Elf: House Phiarlan
Warforged: generic factory
etc
