The Bad
1. Feels more like Divinity II than a D&D Baldur's Gate game, despite the dice rolling.
2. Music is a huge letdown. 30 hours in and not a single memorable track. Comparatively, BG1, 2 & Throne of Bhaal had good tracks even at the main menu. Should have employed Michael Hoenig instead.
3. Despite 3 years of Early Access, the game still has a buggy feel to it - some quests are broken, quest pointers on map are sometimes confusing, memory sink issue (framerate chokes after playing too long. Requires restart).
4. Barter system is inconvenient ie. My characters can't even take turns to dump their trash into the barter pool as this resets the barter. Money is constantly changing hands between my characters to the vendor. Why???
5. Four characters feels restrictive. I know this was the DoS formula, but this removes the spirit of Baldurs Gate or D&D games. With only 4 characters for each essential archetype of fighter, cleric, rogue & mage, there are no spare slots for other achetypes. Pathfinder could manage with 6. Why not this game?
6. Giving items to NPCs not in your team. Oh god!! Why can't i have access to the inventory screens of all my NPCs in the camp? Let's say I have a Druid currently not in my main team, but I find a good Druid item. Why can't I just have an easy way to equip my Druid with this item? Instead I have to tell one of my NPCs to stay in came, then tell my Druid to follow me AND THEN equip him with the item, then tell him to stay in camp and tell the other NPC to follow me. Am I missing some feature here?
7. Anyone find your main character's inability to speak a bit jarring? Considering the effort invested to emote all characters in the game with good VA, but your main is mute and just stares at others.
8. Why does pressing Alt only highlight lootable bodies and items, but not interactable objects like boxes, crates and chests? Isn't Alt meant to be a quality of life feature, so that we don't have to be zig zagging our mouse cursor around the whole screen as if we're playing a Monkey Island game?
