And pleeease don't forget the ocassional purrrrrring.
Must have that.
It would be so hard to take someone seriously while they're planning a battle strategy and all the while they're purring. lol!!!

If there were purring, I think it would be an emote instead of something that just always happens.

We want so much detail we can HEAR that purr, dangit!

yes...
It doesn't occur all of the time. Randomly, not constant. Not overbearingly loud but very subtle, soft. You'd have to be standing right next to one to hear it. Last for maybe er... 10 secs then stops. Only returns like every 30-40 min or so; so as not to eventually drive the player insane... with tick box option under "Preferences':
Pur: On Off
0MG I can't stop laughing!! Must be me... That is soo FUN!!!! even in the imagination.

The above are my favs.
See, I can't help but wonder if this is why the art department had to show some extra love for the Suwari thereby delaying thier implementation.
If they try to add anni's to even a third of those it would be great. Add a brief fading chat bubble with the anni giving the pertinant description as mentioned and bingo!!

Don't forget to mention things Prydaen cannot do!
Like whistle or snap their fingers.
>whistle

You make weird whistling noises with your lips.
R>snap
You rub your furry fingers together but don't get very far.

Learn something awesome and new every day. I bet Tsuim is seriously peeved she can't do something a human-type can do.
Dear Diarrry,
Today I learrrned I can't snap my fingers and the Diviana juggles a mean handful of stuffed drrragons.
~Love Tsuim
PS: And also Shoskal smells like a dog.

That herb pouch is so full... The only things I really use a lot of are jadice flowers, yelith roots, cebi roots and the hisan salve.
Then again, I don't really get hit often either. (Although a bit more since evasion just took a hit in the gut.)

Thank you. That strikes me as somewhat brilliant or thoughtful for some reason. Does it work like that in DR and GS?? It's an aspect that I wouldn't have thought of i.e. 'What something can't do' as Tyrswind stated.

That's from DR, I don't play GS so I don't know.

Speaking of herbs...

Will their be an herbalist in game? Few things I have loved more than going around Mulgore in WoW with my Tauren and gathering herbs! ^__^

Hehe, Shoskal gets some funny messages when he tries to do Moonskin things when he's out of Moonskin* XD I can't remember them now but they're neat 
He also gets combat bonuses when he's a wolf like bonuses to CLAW when he's brawling and the ability to BITE mobs without needing to grabble them first. Great fun to fight alongside a barking, growling slavering wolf. Beats the hells out of Vulmane.
((*Required Blurb: Rakash spend most of their life very human like, but when one of the moons is full they turn into half-wolves. When he's "in his Moonskin" he gets emotes a lot like the ones above. He gets ear, tail and howl emotes. The howl are AWESOME and mean different things to other rakash. Me though? All I hear is a wolf howling ))
Herbs? I haven't heard much about crafting/harvesting in HJ, there's an extensive system for both in DR. Isn't the wound system in HJ suppose to be similiar? I'm not sure if they could do healing herbs the same and still make Healers needed. It works in DR because DR is a much more harsh and hard game than what HJ is shaping up to be, which is expected because they're a different genre. Your normal MMO player would balk at the threat of permadeath if you're not smart or needing to spend a good half hour to get raised with Empaths prepairing your mangled corpse in order to hold life and the slow ritual clerics perform to bind your soul back to your body. In DR it works.

The permadeath is quite easily avoided though if you just get some of those darn favors!

*hordes her favors* I'm far too terrified of losing my character not too, hehe. DR is the first game I've played where death feels ... well, like death. I've played lots of games where "death warp" was a common term meaning using death to get back to town and it seems a trend (VG is working on it now in fact) to lessen the sting of death.
The current formula is make lots and lots and LOTS of easy fights with very little exp given. Make death pretty common and pretty painless. The oposite of few long, hard fights with lots of exp and death as a rare thing avoidable by skill and talent with death being a big deal always appealed to me.
