On the gameplay stuff I think a lot of it is inexperience with the system, there is amazing gear in the game especially in act 2. I have won many fights using g concentration spells, you just need to position carefully and be creative. Ex misty step is a bonus action, you can cast a concentration spell then literally teleport out of danger. Or use an invisibility potion.
I do agree on most of the story complaints, especially about companions with high libedo and no sex standards, this is just poor writing.
Can not agree. Tried to use concentration spells but even Goblins can cross the complete map to go for your caster or they can shot on him or throw monotwcocktails etc. It is a mess.
