Beautiful yet broken game.

Let's start with the good stuff. The game is gorgeous, the soundtrack is great and the story as well. The set of rules integrated is also equally great. They did a tremendous job. I have been a backer since day one and was especially happy to be able to receive the game through GOG and not Steam. Negative points: -The game is utterly broken. It feels like a beta. I am in a game breaking bug, not my first one, where I can't leave a room, my progress was autosaved there, and nothing works (Janush / Companion question, permanently locked door scenario) -So many items don't work -So many typographical mistakes -Many instances of the story being affected by bugs -Poor level progressions interface -Poor guidelines on how to rule your kingdom. You never know clearly how to do something, and next thing you know undeads swarm it and you lost everything you built. It is so frustrating to play, that normally I would just start a new game since it was patched heavily from day 0. However, I still encounter so many game breaking bugs that restarting another 40h playthrough, only to still experience bugs, is very daunting. I might just shelf it and get back to it in 5 years. This is a shame. As the game was ambitious but poor quality control ruins the experience. The performance is also abysmal in terms of loading time. Just to get to your kingdom map you need to load a new screen. But then on your kingdom map, it tells you your new kingdom quest will start in the throne room. Ok, new loading screen. Oh, now your advisor tells you to go to the tavern. Gotta go back to the kingdom map to start the quest. Back to the throne room. Then to the city. Then to the tavern. That is like 5 loading screens for an 8 line dialog. Poor user experience. 8/10 story 7/10 characters 9/10 visual design for a crpg 8/10 rules and mechanics 2/10 execution 1/10 day one experience. Avoid until it is on sale in two years.

This mistakes randomness for difficulty

I'm playing with 1.0 damage, normal crits, normal monster, basically the rules as they should be played. I'm finding the game to be quite easy in that all you need to do to succeed in every encounter is to have a stealthy scout to have a look at the enemies stats, then buff accordingly, then charge in. And in longer fights, there are lots of disable spells to use. The problem with this game is the randomness. I've seen too many very high damage crits that oneshots my character from full hp forcing me to reload. A game that has back and forth play and counterplay where you eventually run out of resources and get killed, like a puzzle where you have to really think about how best to solve it, that's a difficult game. This game is not that. Getting oneshot by something because of a bad dice roll, that's not difficulty, that is randomness. I have played about 40hours, I think I'm around one third through the game. My experience of this game so far is that 90% of the encounters are too easy and requires zero thinking, just cast the same buffs and cast the same disable spells, then let AI auto-attack handle the rest. The other 10% can either be solved by reloading a few times until you get a good set of dice rolls, or coming back later when you have leveled up. I don't see how this can be enjoyable for anybody. Three paragraphs in and I haven't said anything about the story at all, yes, that is how forgettable this game's story is. It's just generic fantasy, there is nothing to say about it. So in summary, this game mistakes randomness for difficulty. Rolling a dice and getting a low number doesn't mean rolling dice is a difficult thing to do. Once you have learned the pathfinder ruleset, this game has as much difficulty as rolling dice, and you will enjoy it as much as rolling dice again and again by yourself. I didn't enjoy it, but I do understand how some people would enjoy it, after all gambling addiction is not a rare thing.

Great game with few shortcomings

I'd like to start by stating that I haven't ran into a single bug during my entire session, thus if you are thinking to buy the game but are afraid of bug reviews, you can tick this fear off. I am impressed with how the game turned out given the fact it is the first game from Owlcat studious, making an RPG nowadays is no easy feat and though 1.5M from kickstarter may seem much, in reality it may not even be enough to pay team of good programmers for 2 straight years ! Pros & Cons: Pros: - No bugs in 2020 - Nicely structured class systems - Good story - Nice dubbing - Nice combination of adventuring and country management Cons: - Lack of companion's dialogue - End game challenges are just silly - Non-aparent game affecting choices - Stupid lockpicking I will start by saying the idea of game where player both adventures and rules his land is nice, not many RPG's have grasped that and those who did made it in a rudimentary fashion. I must say I truly enjoyed the class system, by selecting a Dragon blood sorcerer, I truly felt my character is progressing this way, especially by gaining these special feats and spells, some games are trying to make everything so balanced that they forget to include what being that character means ! I initially didn't learn what story will revolve around, all seemed to great compared to my character who on his own died quite easily, well until level 10 where things turned around and challenges became less about tactics and more about getting in a stealth mode close to the target and casting the spell. Companions in the game felt quite unique, I came to like Jubilost and Linzi, wish they had more dialogs. Another thing I should mention, if you don't like your companion's path, you can respecialize them or create your own.

Really good CRPG (Enhanced edition)

I might have given 4-4,5 star usually, but i put 5* to counter the "hate" review from release (where many bugs plagued the games) and "too difficult" comments (explanation below) here are my quick comments. I played around 100+ hours (first walkthough) and am not at end game (my heroes are at lvl 14) I only played the "Enhanced Edition" 1) Classes - races & Co I am not a PnP Pathfinder gamer, but i had knowledge of ADD 2.0 and 2.5. This game allows you choosing among a lot of classes and sub-specialisation. So this is definitely a plus. 2) Difficulty Fully customizable. I played on normal and until now it is ok. Some fight might have been hard but doable. I "savescummed" a LOT more for kingdom management that because of fights. What you have to keep in mind is that some places are better to be explored later than right now. It is not because someone gives you a side quest that you HAVE to do it right now (it might seem obvious but looking at the amount of hate on the spider quest....) If needed you can lower the difficulty whenever you want (i did not need it till now) Read the hint on the loading screen 3)Kingdom management Not the best part but interesting nonetheless. The issue i had is mainly linked to the period where the time fast forward (upgrading a stat for example) and no action can be executed. If a "bad event" pops up during this period and you have to tackle it quickly, you automatically fails and gets bad results (curse: look at you) 4) Bugs and Co The only annoying bug i got till now is an issue where i could not go on with one companion quest because i could not talk to him.... (i had to modify a file to make him targettable again....) Otherwise no real issue on 100+ hours

I wanted to like it, but nope.

I don't know where to start? Heard so much about the game and then saw the Kickstarter for the second one and said "Why not?!" I'll do this as Good vs. Bad list. Good: The graphics are great, act I is great, I enjoy the character's levelup and character creation which I think most of Owlcast work went into. Bad: Designed for masochists. reloading is not an enjoyable game mechanic. Opening quest is a copy paste of NWN opening quest - very original. Kingdom management: When you buy a game, you want to enjoy it, not to run chores. The entire kingdom thing is tedious, the tutorial is lacking at best, and loading screen on every little button you click. Also, why do I need to be in the town if I have 4 advisors who can do it? Most followers are useless and backstabebrs. Why do I even need them? Really horrible AI it feels like I have to take care of 5 kids in a kindergarten hell. Also, stop shoving woman power down our throats - I don't mind, but there are ways to do it without forcing it. Unbalanced encounters was the last straw for me. A random party level 2 encounter that facing you against a werewolf as you walk on the road? Some flaoting skull with AC 36 in a starting area? When it got to a must do quest, I stopped - I didn't get the game to get angry at what a disconnected developer thinks is fun. Rations... Such a bad design. A can of dried fruits, jerky, and some bread dont weigh 10lbs! Each! And you need 6 per rest! Or you can go hunt for 15 hours and messup with the quest timers. Encumbrance FTW! Dice rolls - its like the game has it for you. My 6th level fighter with +12 to attack rolls, can't hit a 9 foot tall troll with an AC of 18, but the troll with +10 to hit can hit my AC of 31 (meaning they need to roll a 21, which alas, is a none-existant die). This game is unenjoyable. It feels like a chore. The writing is meh. Alignment choice answers are off, and the kingdom is creating a bad experience. Dice rolls, Challanges of +40 to succeed...
