Another question :)

[Exact420]

Would you or have you thought about being able the give hirelings an inventory? this would be a great way the haul some of your items around or maybe you could give them charms or something I don't know.

edit: also you mentioned you will be able to enchant you weapons or armor with other colors, will you be able to choose a color for better character customization or will it just be a random thing?

Like in the Diablo ripoff for kids, Fate. In that game you could give items to your cat/dog and then tell them to run back to town and sell them.

huh never heard of that game, it does look kidish but I still might try it out cause I love trying new games.

I'm pretty sure there are free trials available. Don't remember how we got it though.

This was dismissed very early in the development as only being cause of balance problems, the mercs are already a considerable problem when it comes to balancing, there will be other changes to how mercs work. As for item storage space, we have planned a few extra ways to store items beyond inv/stash/cube that stem from Infinity-engine games, but we will see to details of that at a later point

The regular dyes can be bought from a npc, and you can pick each of the 40 (IIRC since I don't remember how many I added to the palette) item colors.
