Just a great RPG that gets harder than you might think. Dont try understanding the full systems. some ae autistic and others exist so you learn the value of learning a trade. get unionized and fighting hooked nosed few.....

A great CRPG reminiscent of Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale. 26 archetypes are available to play through. The story is engaging albeit anyone familiar with fantasy RPGs will instantly recognize it. Sadly it suffers from a minor but fatal bug. In the quest "A Scrap of Cloth" I could not talk to the guard to open the door into the area I needed to go. This wouldn't be so bad if it was a side quest but it's part of the main storyline. This prematurely ended my experience after investing 40+ hours in the game. As much as I hate to give it one star that fatal bug won't allow me to proceed in the game. Buy the game on sale if you'd like to be disappointed.

Genuinely a terrible combat experience. Have a mix of ranged and melee fighters? Well that's nice but the game doesn't care, all 12 100 hp enemies will bumrush your twig ranged/magic character. NO ATTACKS OF OPPORTUNITY so they can happily bumrush u with no consequences. Follow the instructions the game gives you to "avoid" poison and wounds? Well that's nice but no sorry you will be poisoned, wounded and brutally maimed because you will be surrounded by enough enemies to nullify any resistance you have. Over inflated boss and minion healthbars. Have fun fighting them with your twigs and sticks because you do no significant damage. Trying to use magic mid combat? HA, imagine being so optimistic! You waste turns mid combat to do less damage than your melee counterparts, and that is assuming you survive long enough to even cast enough spells to empty your mana. Trying to use buffs outside of combat? How silly of you to think that adding points would make a SIGNIFICANT difference to any metric. Play any other CRPG, it really is amazing how horrific combat is to experience. You have 0 control over who the enemies target. No taunt to allow your tanks to take all the damage. God save you if they do get targeted by every enemy because they will drop immediately anyway because this isn't a CRPG like Baldur's Gate where you can have enough armor class to dodge most attacks, you will get hit by almost everything and your defense will barely affect the damage you receive. The only good thing about the stat system is maybe the skill checks for animal, plant lore and others like that because it is easy to grab a character like Prospector to cover the role for u the entire game and have dedicated team members for pickpocketing and other things. EVEN THEN other games do it better. I made it past the dark forest and will continue to play it to the end (if I can keep my sanity).
