[1.2][DLC][QUEST][OVERSIGHT] Giant Skeleton yields no treasure...

from Elemental Forums

Just thought I would mention that the giant skeleton gives you no treasure upon killing... much to my disappointment. I'd be happy if it dropped a giant bone that allows you to summon a pack of wargs to fight for you... Or skeletal teeth that summons a small skeleton army (Jason and the Argonauts comes to mind here)

or how about a giant skeleton. XD

just sayin' ... having Tim on your side would be pretty cool...

Agreed.  For defeating him, I'd go with either a giant bone club weapon (with a unique over-sized model), the skeleton himself, or both.

doubt they'll update a DLC though...

If something doesn't have a good risk/reward, or there are obvious errors, I don't see why not.  It is a product with quality control aspects, just like the original game.

We are updating the quest DLC today (its the 2nd update since we released it).  We treat it the same regardless of if it is DLC or not.

As for the Giant Skeleton, not all of the unique monsters were supposed to have unique treasure associated with them.  Cnotta doesn't either.  But I did notice that I set Cnotta to drop a rare item when he was killed.  So I'll switch the Giant Skeleton to do the same.

I do like the changes you've made here. I agree that all unique monsters do not need to drop a unique item or even rare. Would have been happy with gold. Thanks for all the changes, did you adjust the pictures any... don't mind looking at skeleton knees but I didn't think it was the intended effect.

Really happy to see you making these changes, especially when you consider how many other developers don't bother updating/fixing/improving their DLC once it's released (no matter how badly it may need it).  This is precisely why I barely spend money on other games these days while supporting this game 100%.
