I have been following the development of the map in your map development thread, and it was a nice play, however there were certain aspects that weren't too optimized/polished.
First out, I'd like to congratulate you on the voice acting, and the quests. The quests are great, and so is (most of) the voice acting. The only voice actor I feel was a bit worse than the others was Eleanor (hope I'm not offending any of your real life friends). It was nice to play a map with custom UI. Overall I enjoyed the map, and found no major/game breaking bugs.
There should, in my opinion, have been more spells. Not only for the hero, but for the normal units as well. Maybe even another hero entirely to add more diverse game play. The talent tree could have been expanded on a lot more than it already was. The 6-slot vanilla bag was also a pain to deal with, and you should have rather made your own UI bag to go along with your UI inventory (which I liked a lot by the way).
The item variety was great, and I got progressively better items. The only thing I was missing is maybe another chest piece item as the only one I found was the one at the vendor in the city.
I found a Fel and Void Keystone, but couldn't figure out what to use them for. I think I explored pretty much everywhere (at least I completed all the optional quests), but there must have been something I missed. Maybe with the arcane catalyst? I could never figure out what to do with that. I got an arcane item, and could also not figure out what to do with it.
Also I like how you managed to make the old-style terrain look good. It's well made. I think some more custom models (especially trees) would do it great justice (that's just my personal preference though). Nonetheless; Good job.
Some things I'd like to mention;
- I think closing the books you're reading should just re-open your notebook instead of closing the whole UI completely.
- When I had 6 items in my bag and tried equipping an item to an occupied inventory slot it would force the already equipped item to be dropped rather than just going back into my bag.
- After I completed the quest "Old Hatred" Eleanor and Adeline's voice lines started playing simultaneously.
- There are lots of pathing issues. Lots of rocks I can walk inside, and pathways through trees etc.
- The units I purchase don't change team color (they're red).
- There are missing DISBTN icons.
- Not sure if intentional, but there are some troll critters with rubber ducks floating around in the ground. They look like aquatic critters, but are floating on the ground.
- I'm not able to use the teleport stone for some reason.
- There are many language mistakes. Grammar, pronouns and general spelling errors.
