This game is excellent in its current condition. I have played 35+ hours so far and have not run in to any of the negative things that apparently were present before. For instance, I am playing on Normal and have not run into any fights that I couldn't overcome once I put a little thought into it. I am not a min/maxxer and have only basic knowledge of DND systems. If you are reading this review, you like these types of games. Do yourself a favor and play it. I would say, some basic understanding or willingness to learn DND-type rule sets is a must though.
