Being an advent D&D and Pathfinder player for many years, I knew I absolutely had to have this game. From the description of the game, it seemed like it was going to offer an immense amount of options to gameplay and character creation; In the end, Owlcat Games delivered exactly that! I know a lot of these reviews (some have age on them now are negative because of bugs. True, the game had/has bugs, but I will challenge you with this question: How many games of this magnitude are bug free? What a lot of these negative reviewers don't bother telling you is that Owlcat, almost bi-weekly, releases some sort of update, bug fixing patch to the game. I just finished the game after an astounding 300+ hours on the main story! How many solo games do you know that can offer that immense amount of content? Very few. Below is my list of pros and cons, take from it what you will: Pros + *Nice graphics *Nice fitting music *Highly customizable characters true to the Pathfinder ruleset *Enormous game, hundreds of hours of gameplay if you search for every nook and cranny like I do *Good play style, live turn based action with pause (perfect for this genre) *Many updates, including a couple of FREE DLCs! *Good balance on encounters. Some were obviously tougher, but I never felt I had no chance *For price, this game is a HUGE bargain! Cons - *In game hints/directions can be vague/incomplete. Nothing a quick google can't fix. I would compare it to an original Everquest questing system AT TIMES. Sometimes it leads you to the target. *May still be some bugs and gliches. But, its a BIG game and the devs are constantly updating this game. *So far, the DLCs, even the pay to gain DLCs are fairly small. I give this game 8.5/10 and it is easily 5 stars for the price vs content (and thats at full price! With a sale it would be higher!) If you are an avid fan of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, or any other classic in this genre, then this game is most certainly for you!
