Feels like a chore...
I think that the 4+ star ratings come from people who have never played past the first act of the game. This game feels totally like a chore. Somebody here wrote that the design is like a checklist of features - cliche NPCs - check; boring, cliche story about a big bad - check; re-invented D&D system for the sole purpose of not having to get a D&D license - check; uninspired and unbalanced classes/spells/abilities - check; tons of boring trash fights - check. I tried many times to finish and like this game, even purchased the expansions in the wain hope of finding something there, but it's so incredibly boring that I haven't been able to properly finish this. It's almost a skill on its own to have all the right ingredients and still produce a game that's this boring. It's like all individual parts of the game are "not bad", but together, somehow, it just feels empty. The entire time you play you're just waiting for something to hook you, but that hook just isn't there. It's similar to Obsidian's another abortion of the 2010's - Tyranny (but that one at least had interesting premise and first act). Do yourself a favor and if you are a fan of true cRPGs, then buy and play Pathfinder games, or go and replay BG1/2/NWN. This isn't it.
