That's probably because most of the original bad reviews were from either people who hated Cleve and bought and returned just to leave a bad review - or people like the majority of codex members that somehow think that because they like Zelda and non-rpg shit like that they are rpg fans, tried Grimoire and then found out they don't really like rpgs.

Cleve doing a JA clone just to spite Brenda would be pretty epic tho
Grimwah is a great game but it's a clone of an existing game. Cleve's other games don't really sound like much to talk about. So it would make sense for him to take another gud franchise and apply his autistic Neanderthal powers of refinemet to it.

So uhhhh... None of my chars are able to forge, sharpen, poison or enchant weapons. Doesn't matter if they are at a workbench/shrine. The buttons are greyed out. WTF is this shitto?
It is all fun and games 'till you realize that some monsters are now enchanted. And they can only be damaged with enchanted weapons...

To answer my own question, it is not a bug, but a feature (lol Cleve).
You need to find a book and read it.
Once you've done so, an icon appears on the character sheet (on the new "crafts" -section.
This should definitely be explained in the UI.

Had the same issue last night till one of my guys leveled up then it opened up a couple of the crafting skills allowing me to sharpen weapons without reading any books. Probably would open sooner with a new party rather than existing?

Cleve written mercs would be great.
Probably. Problem is, I need 400,000 XP for next level, which is probably impossible to do at this point...

Yeah if that is the case, then finding the shrines so you can buy a level will be crucial.

So uh, when does this come out for TempleOS?
Proof this game is not meant for millennials.

Best Manual Ever
I haven't seen any game breaking bugs in a looooong time. You can complete the game and all of the content.
It is, however, quite easy to break the "muh balinse" as Cleve says. You will be able to build a party that will gimp in ways you wouldn't believe. If you are really smart (or lucky), you can trivialize very tough fights. If you are unlucky (and dumb), you can have fights that will make you vomit blood.
I doubt this will ever change.
I generally find blobber combat to be a chore, and feel that it is my god-given mission to break any blobber's combat and cheese my party so hard that I can steamroll through every fight with least amount of effort possible. Grimoire is still plenty of fun even when played that way.

Just buy it. Not only is it on sale for the lowest it has ever been, but it's a great game if you're about that blobber life. With about 11 hours logged into this since restarting with V2, I've not really run into any bugs that would completely impede progress.
If you're unaware of this sort of genre though, this game will feel like it has no qualms about savagely raping you at first. My own dungeon crawling/blobber experience only goes to Eye of the Beholder on PC (and a super shitty GBA port I bought long ago which has so many programming errors/rule bastardizations it should be seen as a game design wonder) and Might & Magic II for the Sega Genesis. This is probably the best place to ask for advice since users like Dorateen and Lady Error have extensive knowledge. The Steam forums are like usual, useless, but there is a pretty nice beginner's guide on there you could use. I forget who made it, but it covers a decent portion of the start of the game.

It's also at http://grimoire.wiki and pretty much everything else you want to know. Including a link to Zeppo's Decline cheat editor, his only contribution to humanity. Not sure if it still works though...
That wiki is rather out of date though, But until the manual comes out I guess that's all there is.

Anything about 32 point character creation. I also wonder if the new race/class combinations have bonuses or penalties.

Since you were nice enough to mention DECLINE. You get a reprieve from the NPC ratings. For Now.

This is what I have found in testing and that is why I thought the combat is good at this stage.
With some configurations you will get stomped and mushed into dust. They will swiftly kill everyone and throw your bones into the bushes.
Another configuration and more importantly different tactics, you will mow right through them. For example, making use of items. Really making use of them. Trying to find them early on and put them to use. Also looking at natural weapons and special abilities. Before you know it, you will be cutting a swath through them.
I will never regret making a game where popamolers who just click the ATTACK icon are slaughtered, buttfucked and left for dead in a drainage ditch outside of the Village of Crowl after appearing on milk cartons for weeks before their bodies are identified. That is the charm and appeal of Grimoire on a basic level. It is a gate closed to the decline hordes because of who they are.
