Never played another owlcat game before, just Divinity and Baldurs Gate. I previously DM'd the tabletop version of this game when it came out so i was excited for the nostalgia trip. Story-wise they seemed to nail the campaign and I had a blast exploring every corner of it. The graphics are solid, not optimized the best, but solid! The voice acting, when present, is great. Just wish there was more of it. The combat is fun and has tons of depth The characters are insteresting and theres plenty of secrets to find. I finished the whole game after 120 hours or so. So strap in for a long one. The downsides: Plenty of bugs. Sometimes dialogue UI wont show up. Sometimes youll open a door, combat will start, but you cant pass through the door or interact with it again...but can still see and shoot through it. I didnt have any quests bug out, but i did miss out on a big quest because a characters dialogue was erroneously grayed out like i had already chosen it as an option. Bugs aside theres some QOL things that would go a long way, like a way to manually choose what action youre taking instead of hoping the context gets it right. There are TONS of debuffs and its insane trying to keep track of what spells or abilities will get rid of them. Space bar is the pause button in turn based mode, but in combat its the skip turn button, so pray you dont accidentally press it. Lots of little things that will frustrate you, but arent technically bugs. Overall it could be a tighter, more polished, experience but it was tons of fun. If you have an RPG itch this one will definitely let your teeth sink in.
