So how linear is this game? Do you merely march from one battle to another like in Blackguards or is there chance for genuine exploration? How good is the exploration / side content?

This game is unplayably buggy. I'm at the point where I can't even enter my own city because it just crashes, and now my fort is randomly vanquished but the game over screen is bugged and doesn't tell me why. I tried editing the savefile and setting all my fort stats to 999 and it still happens, so I'm guessing it's just another bug.

this is what it shows when I ask for the final report at the gameover screen:

Did you visit your capital once a month?

Not sure what Putin would say about this.

Putin approves. They would be manly Russian kisses of true love, not weak, effeminate kisses of western degeneracy.

Btw I'm enjoying dialogue with Jaethal, I think she is well written, at least after her intro. She's so evil it's refreshing and entertaining to talk to her, not the usual thing like Linzi or Amiri for example.

There's a great deal of exploration, side AND missable content. The whole point of the game is colonizing unclaimed wilderness, after all. The problem is combat balance and bugs of this content though.

Have you seen G8's and shit they are all kissy kissy and shit.

I did think the C&C in the tutorial was kinda cute. I mean, why wouldn't you put on a free ring of prot +1? Why wouldn't I loot a treasure chest??

The excuses were dumb though. Either "I was trying to protect the gold" or "I thought the guards were doing a bad job." Come on. I should be able to say, "Finders keepers, that's why bitch."

Any more stuff like that later?

Chapter 1 is pretty linear (until you reach the kingdom management part) but you can still roam freely after you leave the tutorial area.

Starting with chapter 2 it's pretty non-linear.

Here's some shit I accumulated in portraits department for this game.

Never was much of a dwarf player but this portrait is making me think about dwarf cleric playtrough

Spoiler

I like this one, perfect for a Two Hander Fighter with Greatswords playtrough.

Did u pirate this shit?

If not then try to load an older save.

Dialogue with NPCs does anything? I talked to the 3 companions after reaching the Inn base but I didn't get any journal updates and the choices didn't seem to do anything, felt like flavor so didn't plan on continuing to talk to them.

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

NSFW

Spoiler

Anyone have some decent portraits to share?

I should not have opened that.

This is embarrassing.

Nobody look at me.

 

[Frozen]

Haven't finished tutorial yet but for now it looks to me like just another generic 10000001th isometric retro BG wannabe whatever.
Warrior lady is annoying as f and this lame beginning is copy pasted from Neverwinter 1 only those andaluvian? animals are missing.
Visually it looks poor at least this first tutorial dungeon and I don't get the difference in style between portraits? Some are classic images (ok) and for some characters it looks like in game screenshots (crap)
If story continues to be this fairy tale-ish boring slog for kids I doubt it will interest me because combat is not that great either.

"Finders keepers, that's why bitch."

Jamandi: Lock him up. [The End]

This is a CRPG not a PnP game, there are limits. Although I would love if you could actually do that and deal with the consequences, but the developers probably didn't have the resources to do things like that.

Regongar is by far the most cringeworthy companion. The best is

So which other style of story do you prefer then?
The issue is that we've got the choice between Bioware tranny shit, Larian lol randumb shit and this. I prefer fairy tale stuff over the other two.

 

[fantadomat]

That annoying little pile of tumbler journo shit!
I really dislike that i can't just throw him in a pit with centipedes!

 

[Sarissofoi]

So i get my hands on it and played a little.
Hard difficulty is actually hard but I would not call it fair hard. Its heavy rng dependent especially early as you kill or die by dice. Also I can not hit a shit.
So I switched into challenging and its better but still some fights were like bad roll you dead. I hit sometimes. I played a little on this and well spiders are bullshit. An dall ability hurting enemies too. I beat htem but it was pure chaos and I dont know but it looks like they were dodging all fire flask like crazy.
Now I switched to custom(normal but little harder - the base diff you could say) and its fine. Hell even to easy after all other bullshit. But its fine.
Only get one crash.
Game is full of ladings and slow. In the second case cheat engine help a lot even at 1,5xspeed. 2x or 3x is too much for combat for me at last.

Overall it don't really feel like BG but more like IWD which is good thing. Also looks nice but lack of created party(you need pay for it) and loading times make it not that great to play.
Still not bad.

I had exactly 0 bugs 10 hours in.

Another small race writer? wonder if that's the equivalent of the turnip farming in BGs.

 

[Riel]

Ok I got a problem, am I missing something or did I stumble into a new bug no one else seams to have found yet, or at least so says google after searching: I am trying to recruit a custom NPC in Oleg's Trade Post but when agreeing to the 2000 gold prize the dialogue simply closes and nothing happens.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

I can't believe they deleted my bug report. Fascists!

 

[Shadenuat]

The mixed ranking and lack of press reviews don't seem to be hurting it very much; maybe the "brutal difficulty" is inspiring people to buy it?

People are stubborn creatures. After a day or two of dying in fights and venting on forums some will chill and their egos would demand them to return and take revenge to remove frustration from losing and to "show that fucking dumb game".
