[QUOTE="NMcCoy, post: 5378465, member: 61546"] First impressions as I get them: * Hangs when I try to import my current character. * Hangs when I try to recover my current character from the crash. * Trying to recreate him from scratch. Choosing a class, [b]scrollwheel doesn't work[/b]. Major, major UI fault. * The pop-up bubbly thing when choosing an option annoys me, though I may get used to it eventually. Currently feels like needless bling. * Making a Lv12 Dragonborn Sorcerer; I get two buttons labeled "Choose a Dragon Breath option". Bug? No, one is for an ability score, one is for elemental type. A clear case where the older CB's transparent options worked a bit better from a clarity standpoint. * Ability scores. No way to drag/drop to swap them, from what I can tell. Dropdown box for choosing level up abilities is [i]still[/i] a terrible interface for it. Seriously, give me a horizontal list of "STR CON DEX INT WIS CHA" and let me click two of them.
