Game of the decade... Truly, it is... I love it. And it is the first game for a long time that managed to make me play it so much.

BUT...

Only the vanilla release day version. Every single hotfix and patch after it was made only to break the game more and more every time. They state about 1000 fixes every patch, but some of them are not even actually still fixed (hi, doors). And on top of that they are keep adding 2000 new bugs and glitches and degradations every time. While also successfully fixing cool features instead of critical bugs (fixing possibility to transform the statue into the sheep is surely is more important, then everything else).

So, Larian, tell me, why players must be your beta testers? Why can't you keep building that Definitive Version without breaking your game every week with patches? Just rollback to vanilla version, and test all of your changes before releasing one single Definitive Version. But yes, i know that this is impossible now, because saves are not backward compatible...

So if you want to play this game, get the vanilla release day version (or carefully choose a patch, which you really need to have). Otherwise, wait for Definitive Edition... If it is gonna ever happen.
