The butthurt that this game generates for our local retarded obshitianites is hilarious.

So I've finally got around to playing. I've been able to leisurely delve into the game over a few glasses of some very choice Armagnac. The magic of an earlier era is definitely in this game. There is much to appreciate. The load times are hampering the experience more than expected, even if they are better than others here had lamented. I started playing my beloved Arcane Trickster, but ended up starting a second game with a Hospitaler. I am only in chapter 1, but attrition seems like an important game play element. I also forgot how much Pathfinder emphasizes melee. A bit of neurotic meta-gaming is also become intrusive. In my attempt to optimize the experience, I'm making it difficult to go with the flow. It's amusing how people do that to themselves.

Well, that might be taking it a bit too far. What I was trying to mention were all of the combat maneuvers and details for martial combat that aren't present in D&D. That aside, the Aldori Mansion is already giving me Chateau de Irenicus flashbacks, but worse. That was at least a pretty decent dungeon in all regards. This is a bit more cumbersome.

I honestly don't consider any of these Unity-engine isometric RPGs to be actually playable without an SSD. Not even trying to try-hard, they're legit unplayable if you're on a regular slow HDD.

Aldori mansion is at least 4 times shorter than Irenicus dungeon and has no puzzles or ways to get lost. In no world can you compare them.

I think RAM>SSD. I got 32GB DDR4 and game installed on regular HDD. It loads lightning fast early on and slower at the end as the game progresses ( Saves are on main aka C drive and it's SSD drive)

I personally don't see any decline in chapter 5 at least, but I'm not going to argue something silly with you guys. I see no difference in chapter 5 from chapter 3 really, how the Bloom just literally burst out and then you're dealing with some goblins and heading into the womb. To each their own and all that. Now I'll report back when I'm in chapter 6, but 5 I find really good, especially the large dungeon at the end and the dealings in pitax. Quality stuff there.
Chapter 5 is very strong in some areas because Irovetti is foreshadowed the whole game and does a great job meeting your expectations as a hateable prick, but once he starts attacking you it does feel a bit rushed, and there should be more quests to get his advisors on your side. Although again, he is a hateable prick and it makes sense that several of them would betray Irovetti pretty readily.
Chapter 6 is unequivocally :decline: though and chapter 7 isn't great either (better than 6, with some cool ideas, but poor implementation and shitty Wild Hunt spam encounter design).
Well, there is a gamebreaking bug in Chapt VII (basically the endgame) if you use mercenaries. Other than that it's okish right now. I have completed 2 playthrough, but I had to use a mod on the last chapter as previously pointed out.

edit: 1.1.3 but I doubt they already fixed it.
Can you elaborate on this?
They should add a sorcerer companion, lack of 'pure' caster kinda sucks
Octavia has the same casting progression as a Sorc (1 level behind a pure Wizard) and is strong. I do wish there was another caster companion though because I fomd her personality to be the worst of all companions.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Broken record time again, eh? Some people are soooooo sensitive about their chosen game.
Yes or no would stop the "broken record" immediately so you have no reason to obfuscate like this every time it's asked
Someone said last chapter makes it impossible to finish the game with full custom party which is exactly what I am doing :(
And I made such a party because people said you lose companions due to bugs but you never lose custom party Lol.
I don't think you lose companions due to bugs anymore in the House, you just have to complete their quests. I think this has been the case for a while and people didn't realize that they hadn't completed the quests.
Also the notes for the new patch make it seem like it will be easier to save both Tristian and Jaethal, because you don't need a specific outcome of Tristian's quest anymore. But it will be harder to save Tristian and Amiri due to their retarded decision to make both of their quests time- sensitive even though Tristian's has no reason to be.

Lawntoilet the wild energies debuff didn't go off with mercs, just regular companions and MC. I had to use a mod to remove it, otherwise it was basically impossible to play.
It was already a known bug, don't know if now its fixed.

You can remove it with mods. IMHO is a big bug btw, I hope they already fixed it.

Some drooling retard on the Internet demands you answer his question and you submissively do so, izzit? In that case, please go kill yourself.

What is it with entitled mother-raping fucks demanding that you do things for them and getting huffy when you don't?

I mean it's obvious you haven't played the game because your comments never have anything to do with the game itself, so you basically have answered it, but if you want to maintain the fiction that you're somehow projecting bigdick energy by obfuscating, then quit whining about people asking it.
