I confess I ran out of steam I think around half way through Kingmaker, despite the fact that there was loads about it that I liked. I found the timed quests stressful, but the thing that finished me off was a couple of areas with loads of fights with generic enemies that took absolutely ages and lots of micromanagement. I think the final straw was an area with tons of electricity spamming wisps.
I suspect part of my problem was that my characters weren’t built very well, as while I found the interface that showed class progression to help with levelling up was very good (hopefully the BG3 full release will have something similar), the sheer variety was bewildering and I probably made some poor multi-classing decisions not knowing the ruleset. And reading this thread I may not have been doing enough pre buffing either.
But thanks to suggestions here, I might give it another go and just crank the difficulty down to make it less frustrating!
