Different taste doesnt make you stupid. But being persistent does make you smart or just stubborn thats me stubborn. I was having a lot of difficulty when I first started playing D:OS as well, it was crashing a lot and freezing, but I also was frustrated since it did, so I didnt want to waste time redoing anything wrong or out of order becasue I was kicking ass in combat despite anything or everything else, so I did the research, I got a walkthrough and studied what to do and in what order, I wouldnt normally (especially on the first playthrough) but it was so frustrating when it would crash ( my system is win-7 32 bit so I looked at it as my machine so my fault) but after the patch on 01/30/15 it stopped freezing and crashing. Huzzah! Now I play everyday and I am on my 4th playthrough, sorry you dont love it as much as I do.
I am also looking forward to Pillars of eternity, I was a backer in an upper tier on that so I am waiting for it, but I am glad I have D:OS which I discovered by accident to kill time while I wait, we will see which one I like better, so far I am probably firmly in the D:OS camp. I also heard from some beta testers that Pillars looked pretty but was dull and needed a lot of tweaking and that combat was unexciting, I hope that is wrong or has been fixed by the time I start playing it. I would have backed D:OS if I had known about it.
In D:OS, the combat and spells and character development are among the best I have ever played in any game, the roleplaying, quests, and game environment and world are also really good. Probably my favorite games of all time were Baldurs gate 1/2 and TOB, Ice Wind Dale's 1 and 2 though 2 has a lot of issues, and Fallout's 1 and 2 and tactics. I used to Love Starcraft and Starcraft-2 but Blizzard is such a lousy company, and I hate their DRM and battlenet, so I will never buy another one of their products again, and in truth they havent made games that reward you for being a customer in a long time, and I bought my first computer to play DIablo-I back when I first got out of the service, so yes they are distancing their long time loyal customers with their self-aggrandizing business practices.
I have not liked Dragon Age as a franchise, anyway, I took one look and went back to BG2.
So enjoy...what you like. I backed Wasteland 2 hoping it would be like Fallout's 1 and 2, oh man was I dissapointed, talk about dull and unengaging, not sure how Wasteland-1 inspired Fallout because Fallouts 1 and 2 and tactics are better than Wasteland 2 and they are 15 years old now!
thats sad and disconcerting.
