Great characters and good writing
I won't review the game bugs, since reviews on GOG can't be edited. I believe that in this case the game should be reviewed not for things that can be remedied in patches, but for its structural qualities – the story, setting, characters and their arcs, gameplay. In my two hours in I didn't encounter more than a few minor bugs. The gameplay is familiar to anybody who ever played an isometric RPG. Setting and story are interesting enough, writing is much better than in, let's say, Pillars of Eternity: concise and to the point, delivered mostly in dialogues. Just as I like it in an RPG. And that gets me to what I view as the strongest point of the game so far: characters. They move everything forward. They talk to you, they react to each other; they are significant part of the story. And they are interesting. Dwarf cleric, right, what's new... well, he's such a downer he just wants to be left for dead. His depressive rants make me to want to stuff him full of Xanax. A neutral evil inquisitor elf... elfess (is that a word?) with a scythe that is undead and doesn't care if anybody else dies? A gnome sorcerer with delusions of grandeur that orders you around? A paladin washout turned lawful neutral? Okay... but the best thing is that after the tutorial there is a schism in the party, which splits in two and every character joins either you or your opponent... based on their opinion of your decisions during the tutorial mission (like rescuing guards from fire or leaving them, robbing the armory, apologizing – or not – for robbing the armory etc.). Both parties will travel separately. Honestly, I don't know what will follow next, but this move totally sold me. This game has a great potential and I'm sure after few patches it will stand right there with other great classics of the genre.
