Yes, this game definitely needs people to be able to create their own modules. if that were possible it would be one of the best games out there.

I played about 24 hours and got my party to level 8 before extreme boredom set it. I think that's good value, and I expect to return to the game in a year or two once more story and more handcrafted dungeons are in place.

It's good, the development is progressing and all but I'm starting to agree with all the negative posts about this game... they should stop with this kind of updates and start working on things that could give life to the game, like a quest system integrated into the workshop, so people could create and share quests, and this don't seem like much on the programming side of things, the dev don't need to spend time creating quests, the community can do it (for now).
It could breath new life into the game, and this kind of feature is what is urgently needed.

You're not wrong but if their optimization was effective, they're halfway there.
Still, I don't see this game becoming more than a weaker Battle Brothers.
- Their whole dungeon design really suck.
- There is no encounter design.
- As you said, quest design is extremely weak

v0.91.38 Patch Notes
New Class: Paladin
Divine power protects the paladin and gives her special powers. It wards off harm, protects her from disease, lets her heal herself, and guards her heart against fear. The paladin can also direct this power to help others, healing their wounds or curing diseases. Finally, the paladin can use this power to detect and destroy evil.
Major Class Features:
Smite Evil
A paladin may attempt to smite evil with melee attacks.
She adds her Cha bonus to her attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per level.
Uses per day: 1 + level / 5.
Lay on Hands
A paladin with a Cha bonus can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch.
Healing points per day: level x Cha bonus. The healing can be divided among several uses.
This ability can also be used to strike undead: after a successful melee touch attack (doesn’t provoke AOs), the paladin can spend the points to deal damage to the undead.
Detect Evil
A paladin can sense the presence of evil.
Divine Grace
Gains a bonus equal to Cha bonus on all saving throws.
Divine Health
Gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.
Aura of Courage
A paladin is immune to fear. Each ally within 10 feet of her gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects.
This ability functions only while the paladin is conscious.
Spells
Beginning at 4th level, a paladin gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells.

After going through the patch notes since my last run, seems they have fixed FPS drops, or at least tried quite hard to fix them but i'd wait for the final version anyway.
For example, dungeons design was terrible and i didn't see anything about it (might have miss it, i've skip/read a dozen of patch notes).
As far as sandbox tactical games go, Battle Brothers and Urtuk are far superior for now* (and BB has quite a lot of great mods too).
*I don't think it'll change in the future but you never know, maybe they'll release some modding tools allowing some handcrafted adventures.

Purchased the game and played for about 5 hours. What I really liked?
- Sandbox mechanics are solid, almost in the same level of M&B. Not like bugthesda's games. Things have consequences
- A lot of options, like low level "dungeons & kobolds"? Put lv cap = 10 and ultra slow leveling speed. Wanna epic level? Put lv cap = 40 and very fast leveling.
- The AI is good which is rare
- The combat and exploring is quite fun.
- Interesting races, like Gray Elfs
- Summon cap
- HP bloat. 20+ hp on lv 1...
- No specialist wizards

0.91.43 Patch Notes
Added 2 powerful races with level adjustment: Catfolk and Hobgoblin
Powerful Races and Level Adjustments
Some races are more powerful than normal races. These races have a racial trait called level adjustment.
When create a powerful race character, add the level adjustment to the character level to get the effective character level, i.e. character level + level adjustment = effective character level.
When level up the character, use the effective character level to determine the experience points needed. Therefore, the character requires more experience points to level up than a normal character. In other words, powerful race characters level up more slowly than normal characters.
Powerful race characters still use the actual character level to determine other stats, such as hit points, skill points, gaining feats, etc.
Generally speaking, a powerful race character cannot be added to an adventure party as an initial character. Only a high enough level adventure party can recruit powerful race characters.
Added detailed background descriptions (Physical Description, Society, Relations, Alignment and Religion, Adventurers, Names, etc.) for following races:
Human
Elf
Half-elf
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
Half-orc
Orc
Goblin
Hobgoblin
Kobold
Catfolk
Others:
Fixed: Adventure mode Flee UI mess up
Fixed: Some too long tips of Create Character UI

v0.91.44 Patch Notes
New Races: Aasimar and Tiefling
Planetouched
Planetouched is a general word to describe someone who can trace his or her bloodline back to an outsider, usually a fiend or celestial.
The effects of having a supernatural being in one’s heritage last for many generations. Although not as dramatically altered as a half-celestial or a half-fiend, planetouched still retain some special qualities.
Aasimar and tiefling are the most common planetouched varieties. Aasimars are humans with some trace of celestial blood in their veins, and tieflings have some fiendishness in their family tree.
Others:
Now can choose character build from first class to all classes of the character
Show both class and build ico in character panel
Added combat descriptions of some races: Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Kobold, Catfolk

v0.91.45 Patch Notes
New Races: Drow (Dark Elf) and Lizardfolk
Lizardfolk's Natural Weapons:
Natural weapons are weapons that are physically a part of a creature.
Making a melee attack with a natural weapon is considered armed and does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
When a creature has multiple natural weapons, one of them is the primary weapon and all the others are secondary (–5 penalty on attack rolls).
When unarmed, the melee primary natural weapon automatically replaces the unarmed attack.
Secondary natural weapons may provide additional attacks on full attacks or in certain special situations. For example, even holding a longbow, a lizardfolk can still make melee attacks with its bite.
See Encyclopedia: Equipment - Natural Weapons for details.
Lizardfolk's Racial Hit Dice:
Some powerful races are more special. These races have 2 or more racial Hit Dice.
The effective character level of a character of these races = racial Hit Dice + class levels + level adjustment.
The racial Hit Dice can be considered a “monster class” similar to normal player classes. Effectively, the character will become a multiclass character when he takes class levels. A character's “monster class” is always a favored class, and he never takes XP penalties for having it.
So his actual character level = racial Hit Dice + class levels, which determines other stats, such as hit points, skill points, gaining feats, etc.
Furthermore, he does not get a feat and four times skill points for his first class level as members of the common races do. Instead, he has already received the equivalent bonuses for his first racial Hit Die.
He can start with no class levels, i.e. choosing no class for a lower starting level. He can gain them later.
Adjustments Related to Spell Resistance Rules:
Adjusted spell resistance mechanism: from integration to saving throws to independent caster level check against spell resistance
Spell resistances provided by related abilities don't stack
Spell resistance of elite/solo monsters increases with level
New racial trait of drow monsters: Have spell resistance equal to 11 + class levels
Removed fixed spell resistance 10 of Drow Priestess and Drow Mistress
Removed fixed spell resistance 5 of other drow monsters and orog monsters
Reduced Greater Spell Penetration bonus: 5 -> 4
Fixed: Balance issue of the spell Spell Resistance and Monk's Diamond Soul at high levels
Modified descriptions of spell resistance, spell penetration and related feats
Encyclopedia: Added spell resistance chapter
Added spell resistance entry to spell descriptions
Spell resistance applies to most spells and spell-like abilities, except following:
- Grease
- Sum
- Mage Armor
- Acid Arrow
- Animate Dead
- Dispel
- Acid Fog
- Fire Cloud
- Consecrate
- Stinking Cloud
- Dancing Lights
- Daylight
- Darkness
- Detect Evil
Spell resistance is also considered ineffective against spells that target only yourself or are harmless
Drow Monsters Related Adjustments:
Changed Drow Toxin to Poison
Optional house rule: Reduce unconscious duration of drow's Poison: 10 -> 1
Fixed: Too high success rate of monster abilities Use Poison and Poison at high levels (related monsters: Greenscale Hunter, Gnoll Hunter, Wererat Crossbowman, Drow)

And above spell resistance related adjustments
(+2 modifications of House Rules for old saves)

Added 40 new character avatars (for Human, Elf, Half-elf, Drow, Drow Half-Elf, Dwarf)

How complete and fun this game is of today? I was planning to buy it for some time now but the downside always bummed me out. And the steam version works without steam or I'm stuck with it?

GOG also sells it.
Open world gameplay was pretty barebones last time I tried it and I've seen nothing on patches that seems to improve it.
Dunno how fun arena mode is.

As I recall, the game used to be significantly cheaper to buy.
And back then it looked like it might eventually have a decent campaign.
It's kind of surprising that the developer has done a lot of work on the game over the last few years, but he primarily focused on adding stuff like deep gnome PCs, instead of just giving the player something interesting to do in the game.
