Well after playing more, I have seen many more flaws in the game. Despite the obvious fact that the battlefields actually get more boring as you progress, the game becomes super easy, even in tactical mode. If you are at all competent in creating a character that is. No wonder the skill system only lends itself towards letting you get a couple of skills down well. I guess the worst flaw at this time is the balancing. Couple that with the boredom of learning skills, then unlearning them for a different skill later, and you have one boring game. In Divine Divinity I was playing all night non-stop for multiple weekends. I can't get myself to play for more than one hour at a time with BD however...
