I think people just like to complain. The game is good, I too would like a more close implementation of 5e ruleset instead of a DOS mashup but with patch3 the devs showed their willingness to change things (they already removed tons of DOS surface effects). So yes, the game it's good. It could be better, like any game, but it's good, and it's fun. I'm sure at the end of the development process it will be a pearl.
I agree with your last sentence but not with all the message... I don't find the game "good"or "fun" at the moment, especially if we're talking about combats (which is very important to me).
It has an incredible potential but combats are bad and absolutely not "strategy" to me (steam say "strategy"). If the strategy is always the same I don't call this a good strategy game.
+ I'm not very fun... Throwing fork and jumping everywhere don't make me laugh a lot...
