1. Mouse requirement. Why does LoG require a mouse? This genre does not mandate it. EotB was best played from the keyboard with two hands
LoG requires a mouse because it's much more comfortable to play with a mouse. Why not mix business with pleasure?
LoG is not EotB.
Most people wouldn't even consider buying LoG if it had no mouse support.

You've got to be kidding me. Populous was an outstanding game. I wouldn't even dream of playing it without mouse support. Besides, the handling was absolute accurate. Don't know which version of Populous you played...

2. Also, EotB had the 'M' key mapped to manipulating doors, objects, and... yes, hidden switches. And it was still a worthy quest to 'M' all the walls of a dungeon, but not cripplingly so with a mouse. (imagine if Wolfenstein 3D required a mouse to open secret walls.)
1. This is not EotB
2. Awesome. Face each wall and hit 'M'. Couldn't think of a better way to find hidden stuff.... Dude. Seriously???
3. You're not really going to compare a FPS with a Dungeon Crawler?

This is not Minesweeper... Just display a list (and have it navigable by keyboard).
Right. It is not Minesweeper. NEITHER is it EotB. Besides, casting is pretty comfortable.
I'm getting the impression you've developed some serious keyboardphilia. No offense

4. If all the above falls on deaf ears: at least add an "All Attack" on-screen button which was a new feature in EotB3, precisely because players were needlessly annoyed of the badly designed mouse-controlled GUI that LoG has faithfully reproduced...
Dunno. Wouldn't complain about this feature, but I'm not complaining about LoG not supporting it. Personally, I don't need it. It's more of a challenge the way it is. There are not enough fights in LoG to warrant this feature.
Again, no offence ^^
