I know the elves in 2e are from Lindon and not Mirkwood but man do I miss the elf-lights cultural virtue. That was so cool. It was a subtle magic really suited to elves and to the setting. And the fact that you could learn how to improve it from the lampmaker? So cool....

And if not, not too hard to port.

And no, I don't think it's a problem. Of course I don't agree that game makers should waste all their time focusing on things like balance anyway, when flavor is much more important. What do I mean?

Simply that you can only balance effectively for one playstyle, while there are many out there, number one. Anyone who has ever played an mmo knows what I mean, with patches for pvp messing up gameplay for pve etc. Also, you can never think of every possible use for an ability. Some player will eventually come along and use it in a unique way and totally destroy the game. Finally, narratively it makes no sense. Bilbo should not be equal to Thorin in combat, ever, even after years of play.
