I haven't done all that much, but so far I'm happy. I just got to Mari and Barton and wiped them out with tiefling paladin, SH, Astarion and Gale.
Yes, the same stuff I've said before still exists, but whatever. It's still a very good game. I'm enjoying this playthrough a lot. Even Astarion first meeting seemed better to me, more polished and more believable. Not sure why, but it did.
Anyway, amidst a lot of negative feedback, I wanted to give some positive. The game's good, and I like the new reaction system. I honestly just wish ALL reactions were Ask reactions, like Sneak Attack and some Bard reactions and such. But whatever. I honestly haven't been frustrated with reactions as is. I haven't gotten far, mind you, but so far they seem fine.
