So far this game is unplayable, even after doing everything to clear out the EA stuff, re-installing, and verifying. All this game does is crash and freeze, hard locks at character creation, then crash constantly at launch. EA ran fine Release is a giant turd so far. Ryzen 5 3600x RX6600XT 32gig ram 3200 ddr4 NvME drive (installed on) No reason or excuses for this.
Game has great potential, but it feels like they kept restarting and restarting cutting and cutting. The story should of been much longer and more involved considering how it feels. Lots of what they where selling about the game is not there. It feels like it will need expansions and an enhanced edition to really make it the game it should of been. CDPR needs to stop overhyping and just focus on being honest, they dropped the ball, not in such a terrible way, just they wasted the potential this game has and the story had, the story definitely feels like it should of been much longer. Just feels like it's another game that will require an enhanced edition, to the point that without it this game will just fizzle unlike Witcher 3 etc. They clearly bit more than they could chew, just hope they make up for it in a massive way with the fixes and the possible expansions. Otherwise the game outside of it's few emotional moments, doesn't really stand out as they claim it would.
I don't understand or remember how I had managed to play this game when it came out. The Companion system is terrible and idiotic, worst than NWN 1. The amount of micromanagement and frustration of the controls is tedious and agonizing. Somehow I played this game and finished it years ago, but just doing the village section was frustrating the other night was terrible. Constantly having to change the damn camera mode since you can't manage your entire party (moving them) when their puppet mode is on considering how useless the A.I. is. The select all mode doesn't let you rotate the camera, but you can have them all selected. The camera that can rotate doesn't allow you to select your entire group, just really stupid design decisions for a 3d game. The camera system breaks this game, makes it so frustrating that, I just uninstalled it and said fuck it. NWN 1's camera mode etc was better than this didn't have to constantly shift mode to be able to do everything. Party system with the camera makes this game more tedious than it needs to be.
