What is up with Camellia other than having a name that sounds like some sort of 1700ss disease. She looks quite normal. So, obviously, they bullshtted her up in another wayL0L

The amount of points was never the problem it was their retarded distribution and the choices for subclasses.

Owlcat optimized their encounters for rollplaying and gave you characters statted for role-playing.

You know you can just make all your own characters right?

It was a fair criticism in Kingmaker before they added mercs being advisors, but after it's totally on you the player for being so autistically retarded over something they give you a million options to fix.

She's actually probably the 2nd most interesting of all the companions I've seen in the beta. Regill is #1 of course.

Exactly, I mean they only have a -4 penalty to their rolls, equivalent to an 8-point penalty to the relevant ability score.

То be fair, those ratings are probably from the start of the game when it was bugged up the butt.

What's unfair about judging a game as released by the developer? If they decided to pursue shekels instead of quality, that's their own fault.
It just means the review is no longer accurate or indicative of the quality of the game at this moment. That's a big deal. If the game sucked at one point (it didn't, but if it did) but is all fixed now and has a higher recent score, then it's not really accurate to use that number to judge the quality of the game as it is right now. Anybody looking at that score right now and thinking of buying the game is not going to have to deal with a ton of the shit that made up those 5/10s.

Developers deserve to be punished with respect to sales for releasing buggy games. This is what they deserve.

It seems the scores are roughly the same in Steam and metacritic for the enhanced edition. (though it should be noted that in the case of metacritic it is only for the console version)

I've been saying this since I paid for that buggy piece of shit and it was broken for almost a full year.
