Honestly I'm hopeful that Larian pulls it together and makes a wonderful game, because I've already paid for it. However reading a number of the suggestions on how to improve the game have made me more pessimistic on whether this will ever amount to more than a crippled DOS in a 5e wrapper.
This is a great point.
Can you return Early Access games?
This game is so poor, the lack of engagement so obvious, that I honestly want my money back.
I think it's important for the consumer to know there are risks when buying a game in EA. There are risks when buying a game at full release.
I personally don't like returning items just because it didn't meet my expectations. I should have done my research. I return when it is defective. I definitely wouldn't return if I used the product for many weeks. That to me is unethical.
I agree when it comes to a full game, this is the first time I have bought an EA game, and honestly even with that knowledge, this is a poor showing. This is an Alpha, a tech demo.
Party Movement
5e Implementation of Combat
Resting and Resourcing
Race/Class (I can excuse this, as it is not a complete game.)
But worst of all?
There should be constant communication. Get a community manager, I dont mean get the Devs on the forums, but get communication going, every day. Ask for focused feedback on these fundamental pain points.
I paid full price for an Alpha test. Thats not cool at all.
