   I realize this might be a bit premature, but I'm excited at the prospects here, and thus I have a few questions.

   1. Will the tool tips displaying rather detailed outcomes remain? I can imagine it might be more interesting to infer from the description what would be the right outcome. Now it's often a no-brainer to take the highest percentage of succeeding.
   2. Will it be possible to have randomized outcomes? Since some outcomes for event are good no matter what. I'm thinking here about the girl who poisons the water. Some events always magically curse the city, while others never do.

   That should be about it for now. :)

   Hey Rom,

   We are still playing with the tooltips - they need a good solid first-pass cleanup as soon as we can manage. A lot of that is still in developer-speak. Having a really good idea of your odds was something I did want to leave in, though. We could look into making that a switch on or off at some point, though.

   We can actually do randomized outcomes right now - they are in for the one event with Kaisa, although that is hard to tell because the tooltips weren't (and perhaps still aren't, not sure if we fixed that) working for that one. If you look at the XML on the last two choices, each has:

   
<choice_method>none</choice_method>
<choice_intent>none</choice_intent>
<choice_difficulty>50</choice_difficulty>


   That will give you a random chance of success equal to the number in choice_difficulty.

   Thank you for the answers. I like the on/off option idea.
   I didn't know for the Kaisa event, she tends to survive the battle I put her in. :P
