Or someone likes this kind of gameplay. It reminds me DarkSouls and HellGate London. Where you can't tell by the size of monster if it ok for you or you will die with its only move. At first I just turn it off after 15 minutes. Than I decided to give it second chance because of good reviews I've read. Ingame guide is awful. There are some confusing guides about what to do in game but you can get main idea about pawns and developing character. Take a look at control settings and understand more or less how to control pawns. In many cases you can do nothing in battle, pawns will do it for you, your only role can be to wake them, point target if it's possible, watch for their health. So with this knowledge game became playable. Interesting idea to "develop" AI of followers (pawns) so they can fight more effective. Fighting Giant cyclops and Dragons after few hours in game is exciting. There are not many bugs in game, it runs very good on laptop (1660Ti). The game is beautiful. Still it feels like playing Oblivion, it's ok but something isn't right. I am still frustrated of skills system because you need to return to some trainer to change you skills, so you can't easily experement with them and AI of followers "study" the same thing. I suppose it better to use controller to play this game, for those who good with it.
It's challenging. it's like you're playing Baldur's Gate having no idea about D&D rules but there's more. This game gives you time limits, lot of 'em. Lot of quests you have no idea where to start or go. So if you are not fan of hardcore RPG, it is not for you. By the way I made through nearly all main quests). I have no idea about rules of the same table game and can't tell you about how good implementation is. But if it is close to true than it's good expereince to explore those rules and it might be way to engage youself in table Pathfinder. Story is interesting but short and it's little frustrating because you will spend lot of time in game. Building Kingdom is weak point of this game, as in Neverwinter 2. You can't really progress while you get some point in game time or certain quest. And it looks like you would have some action between kingdoms and armies but it is not happening. About bugs. Sometimes loading stops on Pathfinder logo and stuck. That is bad. And loading time is slow for this kind of game. I am playing from ssd and it is the same amount of time as Tomb Rider or Witcher require to load level. So for me it ok but for those who use hdd it could be painful. There are some other bugs, but they are not so bad.
