I have a question... do you ever intend on smoothing out the land on paths and in towns? I can't stand the way the 3D terrain is used, because it's not really realistic. A town sitting on a million little bumpy hills just doesn't exist. It's hard trying to fight on the bumpy terrain also. I just wish the terrain was a little less bumpy. (yes I know the world should be bumpy in SOME areas, but not everywhere)
Also, I don't know if there is a way already, but can you make the inventory toggle? It would just be a little easier if you don't have to hold down the Q button the entire time I think.
edit: nevermind, I realised you could click the player to open the menu. 
There definitely needs to be an instruction guide of some sort for 2k2, because it's become quite complex.
