    Well another thing it should be improve is the view distance inside some caves for example in the trolls cave most of the times you can see the trolls ahead of you but you cant see the rest of the scenery and looks kinda ugly

    when using the crossbow most of the times i get this weird graphic glicht

    As well increase the time keep the weapons in hand its pretty annoying to have every few seconds get them out again

    I actually like the hardcore feeling of not having super-overt quest markers that shuttle the player to the exact spot, but instead have to rely on exploration to discover solutions.

    But yeah, it would be nice if the quest log could include the initial directions, to spare us the trip back to the quest giver whenever we forget :)

    Make the time quite long, and include some cleverly hidden way (not another button, that is. More along the lines of press and hold buttons to block or stealth) that allows us to sheathe weapons manually.

    Great Game, but...

    Congratulations, this game is beautiful, optically aswell as everything else.

    But there are a few WHYs, after I played the first hour:

    1. Why do I always have to wait two seconds to be able to loot. (annoying)
    2. Why does each member of an enemy type have the same loot. (boring)
    3. Why do half of the enemies constantly run agianst walls and do not react to me? (not quite good for the atmosphere)
    4. Why do I have to always fixate things to interact, instead of just tap? (old school?)
    5. Why do spawn enemies basically all around me instead of just being at there place in the first place. (insert adjective)
    6. Why are there not different sizes and colors of the same enemy type? (not quite rpg)
    7. why do all enemies act like chained dogs or if they were guarding a coordinate? (repetitive)

    I hope these many little experience killers will be addressed in the new year.

    But thanks for the great game, keep it up!

    Do the Dino cows not drop anything? I've killed a few and they stayin the ground like they have loot but I can't seem to loot them.

    Agree with all the above points, especially loot variation.

    Has anyone gotten iCloud to work in this game? Would like to know if everyone is having problems or just a select few.

    When you say same account what do you mean? My iTunes account? Both my Ipad 4 and Iphone 5 are using the same iTunes account, I am signed in to GC on both with the same account also. If I go to iCloud, and Manage Storage, Documents and Data I see it on both devices.

    Edit: Also I have other games that iCloud is working on.

    A couple of other things I've noticed. With the crossbow, I noticed that if I take my first shot and it makes contact, the subsequent shots always seem to aim too low even though I have the exact same lineup and the target is in the exact same position. I end up having to move to another location in order to get my line of site and shot back to where it should be.

    I also think I've unbalanced myself with melee weapons. It seems as though I spend a little too much time honing my archery skills and leaving my melee on the backburner. Now get mauled anytime I try to attack anyone with my sword or axe. Not a problem at all with the game, just something to keep in mind for those hoping to balance things.

    I have to say, I actually don't normally like these types of games that much, but I'm really enjoying myself with this.

    *spoiler*
    and what the heck is it with the dancing goblin in White Iron Peaks Inn!?!?

    hmm that's a new one. We'll look into it. Try to see if you can load a previous save with 'Load game'

    iPad - has a bigger screen and easier to control. Plus retina graphics and just as smooth framerate.

    Lacking realtime shadows though. Josh, will the shadow bug be squashed along with the camera in the next update?

    Reinstall the app might be the best bet. Give that a try and let me know.
