Torment: Tides of Numenera

Game-halting bug

I really was quite enjoying the game. Agreed with many reviewers that it is NOT the experience of the original, and that it probably does lie closer to the family try of a VERY interactive ebook vs an actual computer game RPG... if only sheerly due to the quantity of text and the absence of combat.. but... it works. It's compelling & well told. The quests seem unique and mostly worthy of your time. However, about X (60%? i dont know) through the game, I have encountered a bug that affects all of my "skill check" rolls. Notwithstanding that this is a conversation heavy game to begin with, I have built a persuasive and intelligent character so that I could have access to all non-combat options. Now they are nearly unplayable/impossible because of this calculation bug. I have therefore lost all interest in the game & have not returned. I almost considered giving this game 2 stars despite this, but to top it off the customer support has been 100% unhelpful & does not seem at all concerned. (Their reply was this: "Thanks for passing this along. Unfortunately, we don't have any kind of workaround to offer. Will let the dev team know, though." ). Then I got an email from support that I hadn't responded to the issue and it would be closed. I responded that of course they should keep it open as I had no resolution. I received no further response. Buyer beware!
