Fuck me, I have the version number bug as well. I even deleted the entire Larian folder from appdata before installing.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
From the PC Gaymer review:

Here are a few of my highlights:
  • I'm becoming BFFs with an extremely theatrical vampire
  • I recently adopted an owlbear cub
  • I've embarked upon a complicated romantic relationship with a tiefling whose very touch kills thanks to the infernal engine encased in her chest
  • I've replaced my eyeball with an artefact that lets me detect invisible enemies
  • I consistently talk to the dead and animals, the latter of which are always a laugh
  • I've put on countless impromptu musical performances for gold and applause
  • I've caused more "accidental" deaths than Agent 47
  • I've found several excellent hats

Those are his highlights, mind you.

A telling showcase of what's really important for vidya journos in an RPG these days. All fluff, cosmetic crap and cringy larping bullshit.

And I fear this game WILL try to cater to brainless puppets like this retard.

Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Took me about 5 minutes to FIND A FEMALE CHARACTER, and even that is dubious, at first I chose a female and couldn't figure out why am I still a male until I finally found you have to choose body type as A (but not B, C, D) as well. What the fuck? EA had normal genders

:lol: Larian punked the journos hard with this release. Wouldn't be surprised if they get some retaliatory negative reviews or at least snide comments.
NO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES!

I guess they have the excuse that the game was "really" supposed to come out at the end of the month.

Mortismal review mentioned problems during later chapters, some odd behaviour with reactivity and a lot of performance issues.

I'm watching streamer that has about 100 faster internet and in character creator we have three choices for sex. Male, female, and nonbinary.
How idiotic can this game get?

Existence of women is transphobic now.

And even after that you have the penis/vulva gallery. It's not an RPG until you can pick your, equipment shall we say.

Steam and GOG should use the torrent technology to accelerate the downloads.
Steam can use torrent stuff. But considering current copyright idiots, and considering user don't have right for commercial distribution...

Remember, no mater how rich you are and how fast is max speed of your internet. When server has slower speed, your download at speed of the server.

This game has 250k players on steam. Welp, that’s it for CRPGs. It’s officially gay.
