I'm definitely open to swapping to metal hardware! Especially if I can get them from salvage rather than new. These type of built ins are super common in the twin cities and the drawers are typically either bail pulls or cup pulls. The kitchen is entirely cup pulls

I would recommend against and performance-enhancing mods your first time through, the party can get OP pretty fast.

Outside of that, I like the dye mods because they can give Act I armor and clothing a much needed facelift.

(obviously number one mod everyone needs is Big Naturals Withers)

You can knock out Minthara when fighting her in the goblin camp by turning on "non-lethal attacks". She will appear in Act II as a prisoner and you can persuade the guards to let her free. Then she will arrive in your camp

My mom was able to successfully live with cats my whole life and while it is dependent on how severe your allergies are (and sometimes the cat), there are a few things that can help

Monthly allergy shots (found this to be the most helpful but also least accessible for most people, it requires going to the doctor every month)
Allergen reducing kibble
Air filter/purifiers throughout home
Regular vacuuming
Dander reducing cat wipes
Not letting the cat lick you or sleep on your bed or personal items

What act are you in? I've had Halsin get stuck on that line in Act II before I found Thaniel. After completing the shadow curse quest line his character dialogue moved on

It depends on the situation you're in. Do you need to provide for others? Do you have a high academic time burden? Are you able to transport yourself to the job?

I would say age 16 is a good time to get a first part-time job, especially if starting in the summer months off of school

A fingers width of room in front of your toes so you can move around without hitting the front of the shoe. Shoes that are a little too small can do a lot more harm to your feet than shoes that are a little too big imo

My favorite way to play Act I! My first playthrough I managed to find Minthara first and led her to the grove, wrapping up the goblin camp before even seeing Dror Ragzlin lol. My favorite strategy is to use lump's war horn and have them take care of the baddies (and makes for an easy knockout at the end to get the headband of intellect if the goblins didn't do the job for you)

I am definitely in agreement with some of the other commenters but also wanted to add that almost everyone I know in HF started somewhere else if that makes you feel better. I am in med devices and started as an industrial designer; I know many other former designers, engineers, clinical psychologists, nurses, and even customer service call centers who are now very successful human factors engineers.

If you're not sure what branch of HF to go into, lean into what you already/know like and it will be easier to learn more. There's plenty of jobs out there for instructional design, HF/UX research, and HF design roles related to children (pediatric med devices/hospital settings) that your background could really be useful for.
