Die Steuerung mit Maus ist schlicht grauenvoll und einen Controller oder Joystick werde ich mir hierfür nicht anschaffen. Weil ich denke, dass es nicht schwierig wäre eine Maussteuerung wie bei Freelancer oder ähnlichen Spielen zu implementieren von mir nur ein Stern.
- Combat is too arcady - Way too much time has to be spent on boring repetitive puzzles - Way too much time has to be spent searching for stuff and navigate tunnels, caves and what not - Missions have zero depth. Good old Tie Fighter game from Lucas Arts had by far better missions at combat IMO. - The story is is severely lacking. - Characters are severely lacking. The "RPG" aspect is just that you can customize your ship, abilities and stats.
The 3 atack gnolls in Act 1 made me quitt. It's just ridiculous. I don't want to cheese my way around such things. Thne all these surface effects that Larian likes so much. I rather play BG 2 again than this.
The title says it all. This game was fine for me playing the capaign on normal difficulty, but late late game the game shows it's weaknesses. Crafting: Crafting depends on recepies and crafting materials. Both are incredibly difficult to accuire at times. Often you'll lag necessary components becuase you don't find the recipies or because it's a drop really rare drop. Balance: On higher difficulties some opponents are incredibly strong. They'll easily one shot you and have incredibly high resistances, all the while most of the mobs are mere cannon fodder. Progression: Progression on higher difficulties depends on a good build together with good equipment, while the first depends much on the second. Game a made in a way that the lag of usefull item drops slows progression very much, because your build lags the fitting items.
In comparison with other tactical RPGS the game doesn't feel very "tactical" at all. At the beginning I was totally dependant on stealth sniper kills to decimate the amount of enemies before even entering the combat, leaving me with the armored bullet sponges on the field. Diggs felt really useless early game. In contrast chain lightnig miasma ability upgraded with fire mod felt very cheesy, while necessary given the hp and amount of enemies. The story felt kind of blunt so far. The characters seem to lag depth. In dialogs I had to resist skipping because I did not really feel involved. I never had the feeling that I wanted to learn more about the world or what lies behind the next corner.
Crash to Desktop gleich im Turorial. Ein Glück, dass ich < 3 Euro für den Mist ausgegeben habe. So etwas muss nach all der Zeit nicht mehr sein. Die Steuerung ist unintuitiv und wohl mehr auf Konsolen ausgerichtet. Tja ich werde wohl mit der Witcher Serie nicht mehr warm.
