Technical Issues

• If the game does not full screen properly, try clicking on the far left of the screen to access menu options and disable Full Screen mode. Re-enabling it afterward should resolve any issues.
• Pressing the Tab key can toggle between windowed and fullscreen modes if parts of the interface are cut off or unresponsive.

Quest Fixes

• Fix incomplete functions and typos in the Workers Guild quests to ensure they complete properly. Note that Monster Hunt - Wolves still requires reliance on other quests for completion.

UI and Gameplay Improvements

• Avoid accepting quests without text as these will disappear after a day, preventing quest completion.
• The current UI is more complex compared to the prequel, with many clicks required and checks needed. Consider simplifying job management similar to the new spells system for easier handling.
• When equipping items, icons are not displayed unless you directly view the character's equipment screen.
• Add an option to review a slave’s stats before purchasing or capturing them to determine if they are worth acquiring.
• Include an automatic best tool assignment when assigning characters to jobs like woodcutter or hunter to reduce micromanagement.
• Implement a queue system for upgrading items so that multiple upgrades can start automatically once materials are available.

Traveling

• Implement proper traveling mechanics instead of using a list-based system to enhance exploration and reduce feeling stuck in one place.

Room Management

• Add the ability to split large groups in bedroom settings into smaller, selectable groups such as 5-person, 3+2, or 2+2+1 for more efficient use of turns and actions.
