This game started out great. I really enjoyed Act 1, but Act 2 completely ruined the game for me. First off, the annoying, tedious Crusade mechanic where you play a crappy version of Heroes of Might and Magic instead of adventuring. Then you assault Drezen and suddenly and without warning you're running into enemies that are literally impossible to hit or damage without spending 30 minutes applying buffs and debuffs. Every non-trash enemy has absurd AC, saving throws, and resistances so unless you specifically built your party to have mass access to Dispel and other specific abilities you get absolutely destroyed, and this is playing on the Normal difficulty. What annoys me about this is it's never taught to you in-game, you have to get your ass beat and then go digging around on forums and reddits to learn what spells/abilities/feats/builds are mandatory in order to actually play the game. It feels like the expectation is that if you're not metagaming and minmaxing like crazy (not easy with Pathfinder's esoteric ruleset) then eventually you run into fights that are literally impossible. After several such encounters in the middle of a dungeon with no way to respec or change my party comp, I quit, I realized I just didn't want to deal with this game's absurd stat bloat anymore.
