  • I liked it quite a bit. The combat system is easy enough to wrap your head around. Being able to see what your chances of hitting different enemies are before you move is a nice touch. I played on daring and the game felt a little too easy at points.

    The story is good and the companion characters (and some other npcs) are compelling. The game has roughly 3 “alignments” that decisions can fall under that give perks for advancing them. I played as a heretic, for instance, and got an ability from that alignment that lets me massively boost a party members’ stats for a few turns, but they fall prone afterwards.

    Each character gets 2 classes as they advance. With that in mind the choices currently feel pretty limited.

    The minigame Owlcat shoved into the game - ship combat - is actually pretty fun unlike in their Pathfinder games.






  • I love the irony of a company who’s most well known service is an ecommerce site that tries to manipulate people into impulse buying and overconsuming having “frugality” as one of it’s leadership principles. It’s up there with the Bezos Post using “Democracy dies in darkness” as a slogan or Google using “don’t be evil” as their motto.
