Atmosphere, setting and cnc was bredy gud in this game. If only combat wasn't so dull. Can't go wrong with 4 bucks to try but I recommend playing on normal difficulty in order to not needlessly draw out the already boring combat.

Is there a weak ass difficulty to make combat go away even faster? Would this have any effect besides trivializing battles?

I think it goes as low as Story mode. Don't think it affects anything beyond combat.
I'll be honest, I'm not making a spellcaster protagonist.
Wow. Started this and it's immediately a million times more interesting than my memory of Pillars of Eternity.
The setting is instantly engaging, providing ample context for me to care about my character's motivation and his position in the world. The CYOA section at the beginning gave me an opportunity to not only read about the different factions and NPCs, but make decisions about my own history based on that information. Weaving two allied but rival factions into my story makes me care about them both, and more importantly, care about understanding them. All proper nouns even have tooltips in conversations! So I'm not expected to memorize who Whoozis, Whasnam, and Thatguy are after seeing their name once. It's not homework!
My expectation was that I'd start the game and then feel vaguely guilty that I wasn't excited to keep playing it. But I am excited to keep playing it.

Tales from the Tiers is fine. Bastard's Wound never got sufficient QA or patching.

Keep playing. You'll meet Emo Know it all Gandalf literally "Bleden Mark", and literally "Kills in Shadows", and certain game-defining pieces of lore suddenly being of no consequence. But yes, what you mention about the early game is really damn nice.

Is this game actually any good? If yes, what makes it so?

Pretty sure someone here is able to answer my question.
I want to prevent Bronze Brotherhood from killing everyone in Lethian's Crossing. I sided with the disafavored but later had to kill the garrison there since i decided to fight against the Archons (Still in favor of Kyros). How to do this? Will killing the Bronze Bitches at the trail be enough? Is there a way to get Welby to replace the current leader as head bitch?

Bah I can't even attack the Bronze Brotherhood members. The guy who initiated the combat dialogue is gone and you can't just attack anybody in this game. Such massive decline. I guess i'll put this game on hold again. Next time i'll try a different route.
The setting is cool, but the game itself is boring as fuck. Dropped after the Burning Library.

The combat is just so fucking terrible. Which makes the end game just this horrible slog and leaves you with zero reason to replay. Your best is keeping a save before going full anarchy (best path) if you really want to see the other shit.
Lol. Imagine how bad Tyranny has to be that it takes being locked inside your home for several weeks with no options to do/play anything else to eke out any sort of enjoyment out of it.
The combat was literally so shit I couldn't stomach more than a few hours of it. Sorry.
