1: Still Spell seemingly allows me to cast spells without using somatic components, yet it doesn't let me cast spells while in forms without hands. Still Spell seemed tike an already-implemented way to cast while Wild Shaped as a Druid or Polymorphed as another character.
2: Alt=tabbing out of Incursion during character creation screens forces focus on Incursion. For most parts of Incursions when alt-tabbed out, I can still do stuff in the background like view web pages. Not so with character creation since focus quickly shifts back to the Incursion program.
3: The web manual says Druids get Wild Shape at Druid5, but they get it at Druid3. The feat Wild Shape Mastery still grants Wild Shape at Druid1.
4: The experimental races (Gray Elf, Gray Dwarf, Black Orc...) only generate one perk with rolled stats instead of a maximum of 2 with other races.
5: Mythic Wild Shape allows Wild Shaping into a variety of Mythic creatures (sphinxes, minotaurs, etc.), but their Wild Shape info screens are unfinished. For example, the Wild Shape screen shows the stats of an elephant as well as flavor text, but certain Mythic creatures' descriptions list only flavor text.
6: The Wild Shape screen hides some forms out of view, especially for high-level Druids with at least 1 feat to expand their form list. Some forms are beneath those seen on the menu and can be accessed with the arrow keys as normal by scrolling down. I only noticed this based on the text box below the form list which says which form is highlighted.
7: Aside from experimentation, there seems to be no way to determine how much INT gives how many bonus spells known of each spell level castable. A chart like this would help tremendously!
8: While it may be intentional, I would greatly like the ability to toggle a confirmation dialog when choosing spells known and feats known in general, stat points every 4th level, as well as races and classes at character creation. I've unwittingly bumped the OK button and taken things I didn't want, and others have likely done the same!
9: I tested in Wizard mode a Black Orc Priest of Asherath (Strength, Knowledge, War Domains). When advancing to level 5, the game crashed. Other classes, even full casters, seemed to work properly with Black Orc, but it's likely a problem with the racial Blood Domain.
Thankee all!

Hi,
Thanks for the notes. Know anything about programming? A few of these things seem like they are relatively straightforward if you do, and the fixes would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard.

I know some things about programming. (I have a computer science undergraduate degree.) Regarding fixing these things: Hmm. What would likely be involved? What code base documentation is there? How easily can things be copied/pasted/modified to patch them?

It's an open source project, it's however much is already there and you have to add to it your own special sauce of willingness to improvise and research. There are comprehensive instructions here, but it is expected there will be teething issues related to using later versions of Visual Studio than 2015:
Cheers,
Richard.

As of this writing, I found Microsoft still has some of its old file versions on its website, but poorly publicized them.

It'll auto-upgrade if loaded in 2017, but it may require some additional work tweaking settings.
Best to use 2015.

Other bugs(?)...
-I started a Human Druid with a perk roll setup and got a Cursed Ring of Polymorphing auto-equipped as starting gear. Huh?
-The Clairvoyance psionic power requires no mana nor fatigue to use. Intentional?
-The Animal Bond feat seemingly does nothing for a pure Druid. I'm unsure what it's meant to do. What's it do?
-Not a bug, but a wondering: How are we intended to be able to afford anything at the shop besides the occasional ration, rope, or ammo?

Unless Julian responds to clarify anything, you are unlikely to get answers for questions, and I think he has moved on.
Also no-one is fixing bugs. There are so many, although much less than there used to be. If someone ever does jump in and do more development, you're best to add the bugs on bitbucket as issues.

On GitHub, I made a ticket linking to this post.
Other bugs!
1: Sometimes, the game claims for a non-Mage that you need a spellbook to learn or cast a spell. This invalidated a Druid6/Mage0 I made.
2: Sometimes, the game sets spell success rates very low for unknown reasons. This happened with a different Druid character (Gray Elf, 23 INT & 21 WIS). After reaching level 5, her spell success rates dropped from 90%+ to 35%ish for no known reason.
