It may be minor to you folks, but for the OP, it must represent a big enough annoyance to warrant him bringing it up here. The purpose of the Beta is to test the mechanics and functionality of the game and to garner feedback. While this issue may not relate to your playing the game, the OP makes his point and it is something, that he/she feels needs to be addressed.
Giving input to his/her request is good, as long as you don't knock it into the dirt, thus, we'll have people, such as myself, that refuse to make comments about what we feel is right and/or wrong with the game, because someone else fails to see it from that perspective and dismisses it with criticizing remarks. Sorry to say folks, but no matter how good or bad you think his criticism is toward this point of the game, it's a VALID point in his eyes, and the feedback is warranted on his behalf. Let him have his say, agree or disagree if you choose, but don't knock it because you don't see it in the same perspective he/she does.
This game has a ton of good points and it has some very heavy bad ones in my opinion, but they will not get voiced here or even in private because of the peanut gallery. What I think is a critical issue, is critical to me, a selling point for me in most respects. While I have the game pre-ordered and I own the original as well, the fact is.. the Original should have been worked on more, and cleaned up.. not make another game with some of the same issues the first one had and were never addressed.
