I regret paying as much as I did ($70) for the game, I should have waited and played other stuff I bought. Overall I like the game, the characters, interactions and the depth of customization of the MC and classes. I like the concept of the strategy and mechanics, but the combat pacing is awful. I've played turn based games like FF and Persona 5 Royal, but fights in this game almost feel like boss fights in terms of time and these dice rolls are brutal. Between playing on a higher difficulty and save scumming, I feel like I'm wasting time, and I want to play something else. I turned down the difficulty to the lowest setting, and it's much more tolerable now.

For the hardcore guys that love this stuff, I'm honestly happy they're enjoying it. For me, I don't see myself playing it more than once, and hopefully I can finish it.

lmao why would you go straight to higher difficulty if youre not into this type of game or aware of how it works. I played on normal and hell yes it was hard to get the hang of it, too much stuff to figure out on your own, I just went on youtube to look up some builds and everything went much smoother. Sure its fun to find out things on your own but for a game this massive its impossible to tryout x100 different combinations

I'm gonna sound retarded but it annoys me how large the map is and how there's a facking quest in every single corner of the map/house in chapter 3 for example etc so you're almost forced to take hours upon hours upon hours exploring chit in order not to miss too much side quests/items/dialogues etc.

They've put in soo much damn effort into the game but I wish it was a hair more linear and more focused on the main quests. Or maybe i'm just playing it in an overly OCD way.

I thought act 1 was a little on the slow side.

Act 2 was perfect, creepy atmosphere, lots of interesting discoveries. Terrific resolution and one of the better acted video game characters in ketheric.

Act 3 just light your hair on fire. There's so much going on its hard to keep pace. And the city is so huge and detailed it's tough to walk from one side to another. Not to mention all the dungeons and side maps you have to explore. It's just crazy and takes forever to finish a quest and it feels like there's at least 100 different things to do at any given time.

That's actually exactly what I'm feeling. Act 2 was really good, act 1 i found really fun as well, but act 3 is feeling all over the place and it's ridiculously big. Typically it's a good thing but with a game like this it just takes away from the combat/main objective.

Being a turn based, heavy dialogue driven game, I guess it is not for most people. Yet they sold A LOT, so it makes me wonder how many bought it without knowing how it is.

Wondering cuz my friend bought it and told me he regrets it, thinkig it was an action-RPG.
.

Many people do, especially kids that bought it because famous streamers/youtubers and pc websites said it's a good game. I saw several 1* reviews from dads saying 'hurr durr my kid wanted this game cus he heard it's great but i bought it for him and he doesn't like it. waste of $$!"

well no chit..
