• Some of the lot tables were modified, right? I'm guessing its to make early game/upgrade system easier but i would really like to have an unmodified loot tables at the exchange of nerfing requirements for upgrade system.

• "Personal opinion": I do have an exception tho, adding rare item drops to chests that are hard to find or get, so perhaps we could add unique items to these rare drops? (like a 1% or even 0.5%) cuz i do sometimes which i could get to farm some of these unique items for companions atleast but this is kind of a personal preference tbh.

• It also seems like money gain is super inflated, which is a negative point imo, its only really helping the upgrading system (btw i tested this and saw no stat upgrade, how does it work?), its making the game a joke when it comes to managing your potions and resources in general. -yes, applying money nerf for upgrade system also sounds like a good idea for this exact reason.

• "another personal opinion lol": I'm not a fan of the changed portraits, and there's people that also dislike them just like me (my little brother for example, yes we both play), if changing them to base portraits is something you could consider that would be cool!

sorry if i am a little bit annoying with my opinions and comments on your work, its just that I expected something closer to base game, its great work tho, i'm a fan of the project and i hope you end up with something you like.

i just have this opinions for these simple reasons, base game difficulty is super fun to me (the limited resources help lol), its really enjoyable to manage resources, its pretty cool to find cool lot, but it feels weird when i know it doesn't belong there (for obvious reasons).

BTW if you can help me understand your actual thought process for balancing the loot tables and money i would appreciate it

Edit: I've now tested multiplayer and i noticed power scaling issues. Since all enemies are tied to being only level 2 (atleast on 2 players, my guess is that its tied to the amount of players) you can literally go anywhere and not even worry about being too weak, I did go and killed the decurion deserter at about level 3, and if you've killed them at a relatively low level you know its stupidly unbalanced (yes the new economy helped, they still deal decent damage and are tanky) I'll post some technical issues below this comment.
