    What we asked:

    Q: Which new feature in Heart of Winter excites you the most?
    (195 votes total)

    New areas (51) 26%
    New weapons & items (46) 24%
    800×600 support (33) 17%
    New monsters (25) 13%
    New spells (18) 9%
    Gem, potion bags (15) 8%
    Other (7) 4%

    I was pondering why this poll got so few votes for almost a week before I remembered that BGC, oops PBG has been running a poll with the same question since almost the dawn of time.
    Ugh, there goes any interest of whatsoever in answering this one here. But lack of people willing to vote in the poll aside, we got what we wanted all the same.

    It would seem that most people can't wait to see the new areas Heart of Winter will deliver. Lonelywood, Burial Isle, Barrows and so on are all pretty exciting. Well, apart from Lonelywood which manages to be even more boring than in Salvatore's books. *snicker*
    Anyway, 26% of people want new areas, pronto.

    Only 2% less are most excited about the new weapons and items. Definitely a good pick. From what I've seen in the press preview, this will most definitely be one of the best new things HoW has to offer.

    800×600 support also has it's number of fans. 17% of people are waiting the most for it. Having seen it in action, I must say that it really makes a huge difference.

    New monsters didn't seem to make as huge a impact, but that was only to be expected. Aside from remorhaz and the obvious white dragon, it's more or less variation on a theme. But don't be fooled, new cannon fodder looks pretty cool too.

    New spells excite only 9% of people, in spite the fact that there are some really neat new ones coming. Seven Eyes comes to mind...
    But then again I suppose there aren't that many people who played mages in Icewind Dale...

    Gem & potion bags and scroll cases aren't major additions to the game by most people's reckoning, so they only received 8% of votes.

    Last place goes to other things, with 4% of people voting for something that was not on the list. The ALT key showing all items on the floor and highlighting all doors would be one of them.
