Finally finished this after starting it at the tail end of last year. Steam says 250+ hours, in-game has it at about 210. Really good game overall, thoroughly enjoyed the couple of months I've spent chipping away it at since late last year.
My random thoughts/rambling upon finishing it:
- Wildcard DLC spoilers
- A post-final boss celebration or something with the opportunity to talk with companions, advisors, etc would have been better than swiftly getting whisked through the ending slides and thrown back to the title screen.
- The game does on occasion look damn beautiful, not as often, but at times it impressed me in the same way as PoE2 did.
- There are quite a few typos throughout the game text; mostly an extra letter or word here and there or one missing on occasion. On the whole, given the volume of text, it's very good but another pass to proof read the english text would undoubtedly go a long way to giving this aspect a final layer of polish. Had no issues with the quality of the writing at all; kept me engaged & entertained throughout the whole thing.
- As for the bugs, I only encountered some very minor issues through my 200hr playthrough. That is until the most recent patch. I've had seven crashes in Chapters 6-7, six of which were in-battle and one in a cutscene since the most recent "hotfix" so whatever it fixed it sure fucked up something else. Prior to this I've had zero crashes.
- Generally speaking, the games starts showing its rougher edges mid-chapter 6 onwards.
- Post-Pitax victory seems very rushed; nobody really seems to care that much about what you did when you leave the palace; expected to see a greater presence of people in the main square after those events.
- Some good choice and consequences throughout the game, like that Kanerah thing coming back to bite me right at the end of the game.
- I'd have liked to see the Capital develop more in terms of visuals and function. Even after upgrading to the max level, the inside of the "castle" remains unchanged.
- I wish they'd added more music, though I did enjoy the boss theme variations, particularly Vordekai's.
- Wildcards DLC alone was definitely worth the cost of the season pass for me, gonna give it a while before playing the Varnhold dlc. Was happy to support the devs beyond the original KS once I started playing and realised what a great game this is.
I'd play it again right away but it's a really long game, maybe in a few months time... Very
about Owlcat making another game using the Pathfinder setting though.

- Fuck the Sweet Teeth; because I chose to save those fuckers by using Kanerah to lure out the Soul Eater, like 100~ hours later the Forefather nabs her and I can't do shit about it. Kill the Forefather and the bitch leaves anyway, lol. I might have saved the kingdom but my hero's plans for some hot tailjob action lie in ruins now. Fucks sake.
