First off I'd like to say that this game is fun! The dialogues are intriguing, the world is big and open to exploration, and the combat system is fun and challenging. As someone who really likes high fantasy RPGs this game is right up my ally.
But I would like to bring up a few flaws I encountered.
I was disappointed by the blatant sexualization of the female characters' art design. This especially bugged me during character creation, since during the rest of the game you don't usually see characters from up close. I'd urge any art designers who may be reading this to please stop with the boob armor, chain mail bikinis and over-the-top feminine poses. I want my female heroes to look as badass as their male counterparts.
On a more technical point, I felt that the inventory system was quite a chore. I ended up with a ton of dead weight in my pack that I had no idea what to do with and that I had to shuffle between my party's inventories to avoid encumbrance.
The camera was also kind of annoying. While it is a nice idea in principle that you could rotate the camera and see things from different angles, in practice it's just annoying and not at all preferable to your standard isometric view.
Lastly, at least as far as technical things go, the movement of everything felt very "slow". When I tried to drag character portraits, skills or items in my inventory it usually took a long while for the game to respond. Or worse, it'd do nothing and I had to re-drag it multiple times.
Oh, and when scrolling down in my inventory, it would decide that down is up mid-scroll, taking me back to the top of my inventory while I'm trying to scroll *down*, which was annoying as hell.
Regarding the romance and sex, it's great that you have it for people who enjoy it, but I don't. It feels hella awkward, and I would appreciate it not being shoved in my face. It was especially jarring during the Hall of Echos scene that connects the Nameless Isle and Arx, where out of nowhere you're hit with the "go below decks and get intimate with one of your companions" dialogue, and in the scene where the Red Prince is having sex with his lover in the carriage.
Lastly, the ending, after the final battle, was rather anti climatic. It looked like there was going to be a big montage detailing how your actions affected the world and the people you met along the way, like I've seen in other games, Pillars of Eternity for example. But instead all I got were only a few underwhelming tidbits. I think expanding this part of the game, even though it's just pre-credits fluff, would have left me with a greater sense of accomplishment and the urge to re-play the game with different choices along the way.
Again, despite those few flaws, I would warmly recommend this game to any fellow gamer out there.
