A great yet deepbly flawed experience
The Good: - Great art design and voice acting - Enormous build variety, between nearly two hundred classes (including sub-classes) plus the mythic paths - Great character writing and dialog - Outstanding player agency The Neutral: - Direct adaptation of P&P Pathfinder rules, meaning lots of RNG, obscure sub-systems, and overwhelming options for new players - Mythic Paths are integrated well into the plot, but at the same time their progression leaves much to be desired - Highly moddable - Highly customizable difficulty options - Option for either real time or turn based combat The Bad: - Difficulty spikes. The devs defended this by citing that, since the player can control and coordinate a full team, and can reload saves, the difficulty had to be tuned up. Unfortunately, this leads to intermittent difficulty spikes that require either meticulous min-maxing, tedious pre-buffing, or save-scumming. All three of those are magnitudes worse on higher difficulties. - The crusade mechanic is fine on paper, but in practice, it's more of a slog serving as a time-waster. - Loading screens. E.g: Let's say the player is in the command room, and needs to take a fortress to progress the story. Going into crusade mode is a load, then the battle is a separate load, then coming back to the command room is a load, followed by loading into the town, from whence the player can load into the world map, where they could then move the party to the destination and load into the map. Even on an SSD, all of this loading can add hours to the total playtime. - Bugs. Countless bugs, both in combat, and more damningly, in the story. Quests sometimes just don't trigger, or flags don't get flipped, locking the player out of certain options. This is most pronounced in the true ending, where one or two broken flags can ruin a hundred hours long play-through. Mods can help, but they shouldn't be required. Overall, still a great game, but it's also startlingly unpolished, despite being "enhanced".
