Finished the game again I'd bump my score up to a 7.5/10 from a 7 pre-patches. They added a lot of stuff that makes the mid game more interesting and roleplay choices more highlighted with green context words to let you see what reactivity is there when you might otherwise miss it. Being a heretic is awesome despite your silent companions throughout the latter end of the playthrough regarding your choices. My biggest complaint is no auto-leveling for companions. There are 40+ levels with 50+ options each time you level with 6 characters. That is a LOT of time in the menus not playing the game. And I dont think a lot of the talents make the game more interesting either. The gear is also really annoying to sort/filter.
Not to mention the game throws gear/items at you left and right. By the end of the game, you practically drowning in them.

And too many items also have very specific bonuses and it is a pain shifting through all the shit trying to find good stuff. BG2 has perfect types of magic items, anything more complicated than that it needlessly complicated.

I would recommend you guys to play Executioner before the next patch because this class is just broken.

Owlcat gonna nerf it because it simply deals too much damage, especialy with Burst fire weapon.

Aaaand the first romance option is.....a Grace Jones clone. Oh, Owlcat, never change.

I recall reading a tweet somewhere where Sweet Baby types bragged of 'finally getting to' 40K, like a disease or cancer. So it goes.

Jocasta, Master at Arms on the bridge. Pass a perception check and it's either game on or 'your lust is disgusting'.

How about an easy on the eyes submissive waifu? 'May I rub your feet, Lord Captain?' 'Hot ramen, Lord Captain?' 'Would you like to breed more space marines Lord Captain?'
One would think that Owlcat didn't research the core audience but in fact they do, and choose to do the opposite.

Orcfucker, sadistic serial killer, ex-prostitute/succubus, mutant catspider thing....it's almost enough to drive a Lord Captain to JRPGs.

You cannot do anything with Jocasta.

It's been almost a year.

What's the 'dex verdict on the current state of the game? DLC feedback would be appreciated too.

Game is in a better state than it was on release. DLC is very good. There are still some bugs. I had fun (200hrs in total).

Ah yes, finally some important news! Every day, I sit at the edge of my seat thinking about how some random streamers might fare in Owlcat's PR event – truly crucial information that will heavily impact my future playthroughs, and overall perception of the game.

Shh, we do not interfere with our local Infiny-bot or it might go haywire and summon his Mossad friends.

tfw you have the God Emperor herself in your Retinue

Yea, longer fights last more PR she accumulates, especially if there are multiple pyskers in the battle as her item does not care who causes the event.
