First of all, the parts with the jumping from rock to rock and instantly dying if you miss DEFINITELY need to go. That was THE most annoying part of U8. As for combat, I think that, as suggested before, you should have a choice between turn-based and real time. If you go with the real time, you should be able to move without having to sheath your sword, run over to the spot, draw your sword again, and then finally be able to attack. Also, in U8, fighting more than one opponent was next to impossible. I'm not sure how you could solve that, but something needs to be done. Inventory needs to be improved from U8. It was next to impossible to pull anything out in time to use it combat, specifically against the Ghosts (in U8), who while you were trying to pull out you're little icon thingy for the spell were pounding you to death. I might be going against public opinion when I say this, but I think it would be REALLY cool if there was some sort of a MAJOR plot twist right in the beginning. Like, for instance, the Avatar fought and killed the Guardian, but now, he's been corupted and took his place. You have to play someone else totally new and try to defeat the Avatar. Just my humble opinion. Thanks for listening!
