This game is hilariously buggy at times...

[Tomas Mac Mordain]

1) Larian, please don't lie to us in tooltips - mhkay? Fighting the maks of Auntie ethel, the various effects, when afflicted do not do what the tooltips say. For instance, the one that as per tooltip causes 2-5 damage reliably inflicts 6+ per turn. Also showing up with 40 HP, getting hit 'once' for 10 by some mask or other and my frontline is reduced to 10 HP. Did you intend to one-shot me for 30 but only show 10 dmg, or is there some scaling magics involved that you forgot to turn off. Hmm?

2) Then I win the fight - one last person standing - and Gale's uninterruptible talk to me about his BS security protocol speech commences, while my toon has like 2 hitpoints and stands in a cesspit of blood trying to not die to some lingering effect. Suddenly I'm back on top of gale and die to his 'necrotic energy' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ does not visually properly communicate that it even does damage. Ded. Well thank you, game. That mask fight with the lying tooltips was so much fun, let's do it again.

3) Get your scripts together, seriously. Dead people show up in dialog scenes, duplicate people show up in dialog scenes. It's hilarious.

4) Work on your timing man. Some of the 'we have to talk now' stuff is totally mundane compared to what is going on, it is jarring. Like just having passed Ethel's tree-face door, entering her lair, and suddenly Gale has the unrelenting need to tell me about his feefeees for 6 mins of so out-of-place-at-the-time dialog. It's like a c-movie script.

5) Really work on your timing man. At the end of the 'save the duke' quest you get a popup of which of three boons to get for completing it. Naturally everybody stands somewhere in fire while that pops up and I cannot tell my toons to go to safety while the popup blocks the UI. I assumed the game would pause, but no. Everybody takes damage and some die because I squint at the stats of the quest rewards.

This kind of thing happening is a parody of DnD. If benny hill or Mr. Beadn wanted to make a skit, he'd do something like the stuff above. And I'm not even out of Act 1...

Might have to wait for Hotfix 14 for all this stuff to be resolved. The cosmetic stuff is not too urgent, but when your UI gives up the ghost or the story/chars start to come across as comically stupid, well.... It kinda impacts the experience.
