Drakensang

I'm rage-quitting this game because of its egregious autosaving, or lack of. Most games that I have played will autosave whenever you fast travel, enter a dungeon, or complete some other milestone. Not so Drakensang. You will either mash the quicksave button constantly or you will die and lose hours of progress. I don't want to use my valuable time re-doing simple tasks that I've already done. The game is not exceptional enough for me to continue playing it despite this problem. It feels like Dragon Age: Origins or Neverwinter Nights, but not as good. Everything just feels slow-paced. In Dragon Age: Origins, I felt like by the eight or ten hour mark I had a decent grasp of battle tactics and could "set up" a fight and adjust tactics accordingly. Here, there are no tactics, at least not in the early game. Battles are won by frenetically pausing after each enemy is killed so you can make everyone in your party target the next enemy. You have to do this manually because your friendly AI is incredibly dumb. I never figured out how to have a mage sit at the back and cast spells because every character in my party just wants to run headlong into the enemy. The Dark Eye roleplaying system is incredibly deep, and I never felt in my 8-10 hours playing this game that I was really using any of it. The story is classic generic fantasy, which I like, but it's not gripping enough to make me overlook all of the problems with this game. If you want to get deep in the weeds of a combat system, I'd recommend Pathfinder: Kingmaker; if you want a more casual experience with an engaging story, I'd recommend Dragon Age: Origins. If you're a hardcore CRPG player who just has to play every CRPG/Real-Time-With-Pause game, and you've already played all the classics, then Drakensang might just be for you.

I hear the story is nice and but I will never get to enjoy it. Since I absolutely hate the chaotic combat. There are no tactics. Your characters do nothing other than a standard attack unless you explicitely tell them what to do. As a combat round is less than 2 seconds, get used to pressing pause issuing commands and immediately pressing pause again. All the while watching in shock as your chars run through enemies to attack the enemy right in front of them. It takes a quarter second to fill what is displayed in the combat log (so better get used to scrolling up all the time). Such a shame since I quite like the system and levelling my characters. However, I simply can't bring myself to continue playing this game....
