    Length of game: It should be longer than IWD + HoW + TotLM. It should not be longer than BG2. If it is, either we or you are doing something wrong.

    Globe of Darkness not being in the game: Making a globe of darkness around a character's "head" is difficult because the engine doesn't really know where the "head" is. The result is silly looking misplaced globes that don't make any sense or gigantic globes of darkness that look equally ridiculous. The game effects, however, are easy to do.

    Ball Lightning: Ball Lightning creates a bunch of missile weapons (like Melf's Minute Meteors). You can huck them around pretty quickly and do electrical damage. They are ranged touch attacks, so Dex bonuses apply, but physical armor is ignored on targets.

    Status of the game: Nothing has gone horribly wrong. The game is fine. No joke, not trying to placate you. It really is. A few QA guys are still working on it, but the vast majority of the IWD2 team is on vacation right now. A well-deserved vacation, IMO.

    Quests and battles: There are quests you can do that will alter the number of enemies and/or allies that fight in what could be dubbed "the final battle".
