Pillars of Eternity: Hero Edition

Not what you're expecting...

Starts out great, but falls hard and fast... A whirlwind of problems is the only thing that can be said about this. So many things are poorly done, illogical, and make little sense. Countless bad choices lead to poor designs, broken battle systems and endless frustration for no good reason. I've never been so disappointed in a game before, especially one that is fulled priced for something so very empty. It hosts the ideas of its predecessors, but has tampered and broken them in many ways, to the point where you don't even know what it what it's supposed to be. There is an endless list of problems here... Where to begin... - Wrong damage displayed, and wrong damage characteristics displayed for weapons at times. - Enemies jam and stop responding when in groups - Enemies attack/retreat when attacked outside their zone. - Largely small/empty Landscapes with scattered repeated enemies. - Auto save creates a never ending amount of save files which you need to delete. - Enemy targeting based on killing weakest player, leading enemies to run through and abandon battle to permanently killed players who are low life. This also occurs to NPC's who are not part of battle, disabling quests associated with them. Enemies often shoot through walls to permanently remove party members as well. - Without doorways, enemies hold intense advantages. - Xp system largely based on Quest vs. Fighting monsters, after a short while fighting monsters brings no experience at all. - Broken attacks of opportunity lead to endless free attacks for the enemies, while you are not given the same opportunity. - Childish vulgur language meaninglessly thrown in to attempt to make mature a theme - Meaningless stories from NPC's added to sedate backers - Most enemies host stun attacks, leading to constantly immobilized characters, unable to fightback. - Simplistic armour system. Overall, incredibly disappointed and appalled by this. Was meant to be my fav summer game. barely worth completing.
