Why do boars have boots? Where do they keep them? Any intellegent being (thinking,walking,talking) could have anything but the mundane creatures like ants, bees, dogs, worms, etc, should not have clothing/weapons/gems/potions/etc.
many animals such as Rats, racoons, a bunch of types of birds, and more have a habit of hoarding shiny objects
True, but they would keep it in their den/hole/home, not on their person....
Just then a giant boar wearing a pair of sunglasses, a gold chain, and a top hat walks by.
Take a stop by my game thread for some forum fun!!!
It's a commonplace in RPGs for beasts to have gold and even magic items as drops, from Nethack to Diablo. This is just a tradition. I'm good with it...
I know, I just find it funny because it's so odd. Ever play Boulder's Gate Dark Alliance or Champions of Norrath? It is hilarious to see a sword/bow/armor to come skyrocketing thirty feet into the air out of the corpse of a rat.

First: I love the game and am looking forward to the next release with more quests. I have no interest in mere level grinding - I have to find my brother...
But one issue of the game are IMHO the poor and unrealistic economics. Equipment at all shops and traders seems to cost the same. In reality the shops in remote areas as Prim, BMW and Remgard would be thirsty for items from meat to weapons and be willing to pay much higher prices than in Loneford. (Which of course means, that they would also sell you that stuff for a tremendous amount of money).
It is also unrealistic that any shop or trader buys anything in any amount you try to sell them. Why should a blacksmith buy 50 meat? The innkeeper would maybe do so, but he bought already all leather boots and gems I had to offer.
Regarding demand and supply those NPGs who sell and buy should have a limited budget of gold and preferences for certain items, e.g. weapons, potions, animal parts etc. You could sell them all other stuff you like, but then for a lower price.
If there was an artist who is in desperate need for small rocks and an alchemist who bought some Irdegh poison gland for an adequate price I would be more than happy to walk an extra mile to service them.
Maybe in release 0.8?

Great idea, that would make more of a trader role in the game a reality.

I really love this game, the fact that I stopped playing for quite some time when my first character reaches level 19, got stuck some where which I'm unable to kill the enemies. Then recently I started a new character (just reached level 20 yesterday) and very happy with it. I tried to install AT into my tablet but find it hard to play because the screen is not optimized for tablet and while playing with my phone, I can press the menu button to save my progress but there's no such button when I play it with my tablet. Could Admin try to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the forums Zen, for your tablet issue, have you tried playing with the d-pad? It is a nice feature, you can even choose which part of the screen the d-pad is at. I think it helps when playing on the bigger screen.

Welcome back Zen!
Which tablet are you using?
Operating System?
There might be an easy fix for this, I'll have someone contact you if i can't find the information myself.
I play AT on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, love it. Only sometimes when pressing the map, it starts in the top left corner and you have to find where you are hiding
Don't recognize the save issue, it is in the task bar for me.
