Am I the only one...
enjoying this so far? Yeah it is lacking attention to detail and less of an RPG than previous titles but still enjoyable.

I honestly tried hard, gave it like 6 hours on gamepass, I just couldn't do it. It's not woke really, it's just not a good game. The performance is terrible, and the combat is horrid. Characters feel lifeless, and lip sync is totally off, clipping everywhere, and empty maps.

Something is strange with combat. I stacked might to be able to carry lots of stuff as I am a hoarder. Yet my melee attacks with a sword does less damage than a single spell.

My understanding of might was that it increases all damage not just melee so depending on the scaling of your weapon and spells that might be why?

I haven't gotten too far into it myself due to the annoying as all hell companions that wont shut up so havent been able to test it properly.

You might be right about might. Kai is well written and based though can't say the same for other companions.

Some people also enjoy playing Banana Clicker.

Does that make it a good game?

Really now...

Nope, it was a very enjoyable game with a really interesting story and characters (although there is a lot of wokeness, but it's not too overt). What killed it for me was the bugs and glitches. I had a really enjoyable 25 hours to get to the end of Chapter 3 then a bounty quest target wouldn't show up and the final quest of Chapter 3 wouldn't progress past the second trial. I was eventually able to beat the game, but it destroyed the exploration part of it and I just beelined to the end of the game through Chapter 4 and 5 without doing any side stuff because I was so deflated by these bugs/glitches.

I just want him to stop talking when I'm exploring really. I dont need to hear "another glorious victory" every time I kill a spider.

I have no real gripe with the dialog when I'm talking to NPC's its the inane chatter

You can enjoy a bad game now and then.

Yeah, magic is OP and if you don't stay up on your weapon and armor upgrades you will get demolished in combat. Even with exploring everything and breaking down every weapon I wasn't using (including uniques) I was routinely left without enough mats to get on the same level as the enemy, damage wise. It was quite frustrating. I mean you could be in the same tier, like your weapon could be blue or purple and fighting a blue or purple enemy, and the damage still wouldn't be good for melee weapons. I'm replaying now with a melee class, but I don't expect I'll be able to beat the game without relying on magic for, at the very least, some of the boss encounters.

If true, sounds like a balance option. Reviews basically state the same thing, magic is king. Not great design, but can be fixed.

I almost always play a mage or a rogue, the one time I pick warrior it is underwhelming :D

I roll rogue all the time, but the rogue (scout) class in this game is just underwhelming. I eventually just morphed it into a mage and did magic (btw, the level 1 magic spells are the best in the game, no reason to find new spellbooks).
