So, the Inventory is a mess (and often leads to crashes).
The camera is shitty at best (and leads to crashes).
The UI is chaos (and leads to crashes)
The encounter system is funny but bugged: if you stay on a place for sometime (I was distributing things from a loot) the place can suddenly became "a place of an ancient battle". But for the previous 5 minutes there was nothing (so, it means that the encounter mechanics refresh every X minutes and can be funny/dumb at moments).
To loot after a battle is shitty (and maybe leads to crashes).
The journal is a mess (but doesn't lead to crashes).
The skill system is nice.
The music is very evocative and I love it.
The graphics are shitty also for 2002.

To call it "a rough gem" would be utterly underestimate the mess in it and the load of crashes you have (I set the autosave every 2 minutes to be safe) since it has been absolutely published with several months of work still to do.

It's half of a game. And, for those who love it anyway, I would suggest to never anymore complain about a buggy game nowadays.

But it holds together somehow.

I don't know why, it holds together. You can see there were wonderful ideas and mechanics. And you love it somehow. At least for now.

lmao, I thought that the game looked beautiful but ik you NIGGERS can't tolerate nice looking games, you want your xanax inspired washed out grey games.

So, just to make it clear:

you come here, six months after I have finished and loved this game just to say that, since you find the graphics beautiful, whoever thinks otherwise is a "nigger" (whatever that means for such a dimwit like you)?

Why?

Why do you have this need to show off you are an imbecile?

Congrats man: you outsmarted me.

With no arguments or whatever would make you smart.

But you did. Go and show your parents your trophy. They'll be finally proud of you

I got quite far into it a year or two ago but faced a game-breaking bug during the River Goddess vision scene despite using all the latest patches (and lots of different saves, but didn't matter. No matter what I tried I couldn't get past that scene).

It was good but not quite good enough for me to go through all that again just to meet yet another nasty unavoidable main quest bug that modders in 22 years have been unable to fix.

Still it's an interesting game and very cool setting.
