I’m really disappointed. I feel there’s just not enough playable content. Yeah, you can create a couple different characters and choose a couple of different paths to follow in the game, but realistically there’s only about 10 hours of fresh gameplay where you don’t know what’s coming around the next corner.
I know people are going to hate on me (I don’t care. I won’t read your post anyways) but I think it was an ingenious shady scheme for Larian to launch the game in its current state and get people to pay them to work out their bugs. Yeah, I know, people have logged 100+ hours playtime. That’s good. I’m glad you feel you got your money’s worth, but I feel there should be more (much more) when you pay $60 for a game. Again, I know I know, Larian was quite forward in stating the game was incomplete and yeah, I bought the game anyway. But, I feel like I bought a cheap car that I didn’t get to look at before I bought it. Now I’m stuck with a car that has everything it needs to be a car I can drive except it’s missing a tire, the seats and the steering wheel, and it won’t start and I have to figure out why. There’s a word for that, lemon.
Inevitably the way it will play out is every couple of weeks they’ll fix some bugs. Every couple of months they’ll release new playable content which will of course have bugs that will need to be worked out. Wash, rinse, repeat until the game finally launches and everyone who bought the prerelease will already have done everything, and know everything about the game but will have to start over from the beginning.
Oh, if anyone reads this, a word of advice. If you’re making multiple characters to play as updates are released don’t run them through all of the playable content. Stop when you max xp at level 4. Otherwise, depending on how Larian increases the level cap, you may lose out on a bunch of xp.
