I really, really tried to like this game. Really, really tried to give it a chance. Finally, after 72 hours of "what the ♥♥♥♥?" and "are you ♥♥♥♥ing kidding me?" I will write a review.
I'll keep this short since many other reviews detail the many specific shortcomings of the game. To summarize: the design is awful. Horrible. Terrible. It's like playing tabletop DND with a DM who is a massive, gaping, prolapsed ♥♥♥♥. Difficulty checks are absurdly high, encounters and locations are not planned appropriately, kingdom is constantly overwhelmed, "choices" and their consequences are completely opaque until too late, quests are broken.....et cetera ad infinitum. This game has all the potential to be the next Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale; it is literally stunning that these issues have not been fixed after all the negative feedback for the same issues.
