270+ hrs played. Tried all class/subclass combos. Many specific combos like STR Ranger vs DEX ranger, same w/ Wiz, Cleric, etc. You might think that it would be tedious. However the number of choices and their consequences are mind-boggling, and because of that there are some bugs that creep up when things aren't in a particular order. Overall though, just the number of outcomes of your interactions with 3 characters is unbelievable. Kagha, Zevlor and Minartha. SOOO many outcomes.
I have seen complaints of dialog not mattering. Sometimes the outcome IS fixed, however, the different choices allow you to role-play your character. Others though...many people have no clue. They just assume. Well after 270+ hours I am here to tell you it is astonishing.
Sometimes it's the little things.
I have stumbled across the stranded fishers digging for the dude's daughter more times than I can count. Sometimes due to dialog choices they all live, sometimes they all die, sometimes some die and some are spared. In every case, I have either smashed the mindflayer's skull or left him to die. Today through the right (or wrong lol) set of dialog choices, I healed it to full health and it wiped my party! WTF! I was laughing so hard!
The Ruins/Chaple/Crypt...there are at least 4 different ways to gain entry. Could have simply been 1.
Thank you Larian for building so much replay into Act 1, Cant wait to see the completed game.
