Another Disappointing "Enhanced Edition"
I'm ONLY comparing this edition to the original game. I find that fair as the original made this edition possible. This was initially going to be an in-depth review but quickly turned into a brief summary due to GOG's character limit. How is one supposed to properly cover a base game, two expansions, three modules (plus community), a toolset, modding, DMing, bugs, etc. in 2000 characters? - PERFORMANCE: It's bad. This edition of the game stutters and freezes on what, until recently, was top performing hardware (5950X, 3090, 64GB RAM, 7000+ MB/s M.2). I tried on two other rigs (mixing Intel, AMD, and Nvidia). All of them had fresh OS installs. All had the same issues. The EE was released in 2018 and the performance has had time to be fixed. Allegedly you can give the application a CPU affinity of 1 core. This didn't work on any rig. Could be due to CPU threads. Minus 1.5 stars. - GAMEPLAY: Difficulty seems to be altered. Good in that sometimes the original game was too easy, bad in that the "RNG" of dice rolls get progressively worse as the player increases difficulty level when compared to the original game. Nobody likes being hit for 40 damage at level two (Loxar). The same bugs from the original still exist in EE though some seem even more pronounced. Most can break immersion but are also part of what brings charm to the original. Minus 0.25 stars. - PATHING: This gets its own little section because it was officially stated by BeamDog on [REDACTED] forums that pathing is "being worked on". In 2018. You still rub your face on walls or bang your shins on chairs. The pathing is objectively worse than the original. There are some transitions you are forced to WASD through due to pathing. Minus 1.25 stars. - OVERALL: I'm disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this version of the game to anyone who's never played it because they're going to think it's a joke and I can only recommend it to original players as a form of game preservation on systems moving forward.
