The game is finished? Seems unbalanced

[faba]

Did a quick start and got one guy from my party killed by three caterpillars and two bugs. Is that working as intended?

Yes. It's a CRPG. They are usually really difficult at Level 1. If you get into the game, you will eventually find it's too easy and turn the difficulty up.

More specifically, it's a throwback to the Wizardry games of the early 90's, which were notoriously uninterested in taking it easy on new players.

This has both good and bad points, but in the end, don't expect to progress if you haven't been grinding enough, or chose a less than optimal party composition, or aren't using all the tools available to you.

Welcome to the spirit of 80s/90s gaming where the game kicks you in the genitals repeatedly instead of holding your hand and teaching you what experience points are. These are games that expect you to have read the manual to get the information that would otherwise go in the droll of a tutorial level. Right out the gates it's do or die. Pick up bard's tale trilogy remastered and give it a whirl and lemme know how it goes.

@faba: Yes, it can be too hard at the beginning.
I found it very helpful to have the NPC "Little Rosy" in my party (strong magic making the first fights go easy) , you can find her at one of the 5 starting locations . Also you better create your own party instead of using the default 'Quick Start' Party... please also take a look at the Guides for the game (here at steam) :)

yeah its a shame but nothing on the market today prepares kids that have been raised on warcraft and minecraft, for a game like this. these older style games are a contest between the dev and the player, a conversation, like a challenge more than a game about endordphins you're going to get, and more about the epiphany you have that, weeks after you find the dwarven doors to moria, you finally remember the password in ELVISH, that lets you in, lol. good luck kiddos XD

Wait a moment I did play hardcore RPGs like Might and Magic or The Bards Tale II, Eye of The Beholder or Wizardry, but even with that experience I feel like this game is unfinished or unbalanced. I am no kiddo

It's one of the greatest CRPGs of all time. I would restart, and see if you get a friendlier startling location. Unlike most games, it starts you off somewhere random.

It starts out hard but quickly becomes pretty easy. I don't think I am even halfway through the game but 99% of the combats now don't even last a single round, with my dual wielding instrument bard killing everything himself with AE instruments. If he fizzles or something, other charters are more than capable as well.

I did plan my characters and tried to multi class them in directions that made sense, but it's still seems very easy once you reach a certain point. It's still a fun game though, especially if you grew up on these types of games in the 90s. Get major nostalgia feelings for sure when playing this game.
