not great, not terrible
Played for 25h so far. If Pathfinder:Kingmaker feels like you have DM that wants to kill you, and BG3 feels like homebrew-heavy, very permisive GM... this game feels like it has very by-the-books GM. Yes, the crafting system, and feats are not exactly by the books, but otherwise, yeah, you get a RAW D&D5e experience. No mods to addd content outside of new campaigns, so you better like that. As far as crafting goes, it's pretty standard stuff... to craft stuff you need a recipe and ingredients. Both of those can be sometimes found as loot, or be bought from merchants. After that, you select something to be crafted, and the process is doing it's own thing while your party travels. Feats... yeah, this game has feats. Sadly, there is only about 20 of them, 6 of which is "deal 2 X damage with first melee hit of the turn", there is one or two that gives you more hitpoints, and the rest is mostly random mix of extra proficiencies. The Story is ok, however the method of every quest being given out in form of quick cutscene without any real way to influence the dialogue, leaves very MMO taste in my mouth. For that, together with the poor feat selection, one star down.
Is this helpful to you?
