I loved this game for a while, and I probably got through more than two thirds of the game.
But I can't handle the loading screens, the repetitive music/voices, and the lag! So I just can't play this anymore.
Some of the turn-based battles progress way too slowly, there needs to be a way to speed up the enemies' turns. When they have multiple spellcasters it takes forever for the sounds and animations to play.
This gets really aggravating when its a battle I keep losing until I solve it.
I find myself doing an excessive amount of saving/reloading in this game, to eventually win a battle. If my fragile mage or ranger die, which they do every other fight, I burn thru resurrect scrolls like crazy, then I have to port back to Cyseal, listen to the annoying music and voices, deal with the ridiculous lag I always get in the city and buy more resurrect scrolls.
This is basically the pattern of my playing. Time-consuming lag, time-consuming laggy battles, and porting to town to buy resurrect scrolls.
The randomized looting is a gigantic flaw... it basically encourages the player to save+reload before opening a chest or looting a boss ad infinitum until he gets something he can use.
So... more long, unbearable loading screens to get decent loot.
This is how I geared my characters to stay competitive in Hard difficulty. Is there any other way??
So...
1. Need a high-end computer (or at least not my old machine) to properly enjoy this
2. Change looting system, and make it impossible to save during combat! So I won't just autosave when the boss is at 1 percent health and go through the pathetic gameplay process of reloading 100 times till he drops something I can use.
3. Speed up the combat turns of enemies
