Graphics are great, story is superb. The first 80 hours of play I took my time and did my best to overcome some incredibly annoying and, frankly, unneccessary bugs which hindered the actual story. At least 3 times I lost about 3-4 hours of gameplay due to some bug error with the kingdom management system. Losing this kind of time due to a bug is just unacceptable. I ended up saying to hell with it and began letting the game automanage the kingdom. However, in the last chapter, the useful feature that prevents kingdom destruction due to mismanagement is turned off. The Kingdom building system itself needs a lot of work. The bugs and poor design make it nearly impossible to succeed on the kingdom front. Making it to the last area just in the hopes I can put an end to this game and be done with bugs brought utter dissappointment. Those long 80 hours of play, due to the bugs, ended up ruining it to the point where I literally could no progress any further. ***SPOILERS*** My main group throughout the game consisted of myself, Amiri, Harrim, Linzi, Octavia, and a guy I made. The last area is so bugged that without any action on my part (and scouring the boards this is true for everyone) Linzi and Amiri both die. Two characters who I've built up, equipped, and used the entire 80 hours are no longer available to me. Worse- their equipment is all gone. So the game makes you use your other companions- who have no equipment. One more thing- you don't have the ability to rest in the final area and cannot get out of it to rest outside. With the amount of monsters- seriously hardcore monsters even on story mode- in the final area it is literally impossible to proceed. Many of the fights themselves contain bugs. I cannot recommend this game.
