A lot of people shout because they like to shout even if they know how to use say and tell.  I just think that making special boxes or rules for the communication commands is silly when all that is needed is nice key bindings.

Yes a player book in inventory would be better than those initial magic mouths on eating and moving in the hall of selection.  I don't thing it would need to be god given item and maybe if players could trade their book in at a shop in a starting city for a special item or something (like a potion of life with zero value)it would be nice as well.

Yes of course. The thing I have had to explain the most to players is keybinding (especially removing global bindings and using run and fire mode for key combinations).  I also think that less global keybindings would be nice as it seems to be hard to reconfigure the keyboard nicely for laptops (from what I am told).
There was some new in game tutorials about key bindings in the new starting map as well.
