I've spent 30+ hours on previous version, trying to do every quest and read every dialog. I enjoyed it a lot.
This time i decided to avoid quests, and kill npc and test hard difficulty, just to enjoy tactical fight.

I didn't enjoyed it at all because there was no challenge. The game was too easy in previous version, it's still way too easy. Even in hard difficulty, it's a piece of cake. I didn't noticed any difference between normal and hard mode. Worst : it's even easier than previous version, because the loot is much better.

The only real improvement in this version is the increased AP cost of potions. Everything else sucks. And I encountered much more bugs than before.

I killed every living creature in cyseal : npc, sheeps, chickens, cows, everything (only cats were left alive because they are cute). When I left the city i had 80k useless gold and many epic weapons and jewels. What's the point ? Why npc are so easy to kill, and why do they drop so good loot ? Aren't city guards supposed to be strong ?

After the slaughtering in Cyseal, i killed some mobs in the land around, but it was so boring i stopped playing.

Do you really intend to release the game in june ? This game could be great, but balance and game mechanics really looks broken right now, and a lot of work is needed.
