I haven't got back to WotR for 3 days (still at the market quest in the prologue) cause I've been doing my 2nd Kingmaker run and still having fun and I want to finish it. But the posts in here make me think it's best if I hold off on getting back to WotR, but man I'd rather not have to wait for another 2-3 years like with Kingmaker.
Oh come on. Kingmaker was in a perfectly playable (no bugs worth mentiong) state within about 6 months of release max. And claims here of WotR being "buggy" are clearly exaggerated. Yes there are bugs but nothing truly show-stopping, which is eminently reasonable at launch.
And for people whose standard is no bugs at all, good luck finding such a game (and that includes future BG3).
I don't know about which claims and what do people claim, I can only tell you my experience. And it wasn't good. It might have been silly of me to choose a class that has mount, since it's a new mechanic, but I hardly see why should I skip a class the game offers merely because it is new.
I played the full version of wrath for about 50 hours so far, and there wasn't a single hour out of it where I didn't encounter a bug or two. Some are small and some are quest breaking path blocking or worse. And I just started chapter 5 which wasn't part of the beta and it fucking shows since the first (and otherwise excellent) scene I get is so buggy half of the time the characters which supposed to be on screen are invisible.
I don't expect the game to be bug free, I do expect it to be feature complete, yet somehow some of the abilities and skills are still blank or have placeholders like it's a bloody beta.
I don't know how should I deal with it really. On the one hand, owlcat is a small company that made an overall great game, and I'm sure six months from now all bugs will be fixed. On the other hand, this policy of releasing a half baked game and banking on the forgiveness of fans (which I assume most fans me included will forgive them) is just an unfair behaviour from them.
