Pondering about re-installing this, as I've yet to finish (bought September 2021). Also, any game that takes obvious inspiration of the camping+traveling system in the Realms Of Arkania trilogy is by defaut a decent one. Granted, with Kingmaker I took one big time-out of almost a year also with my save. And I generally like both of those games. But with WOTR, it's not one but two longer time-outs now (chapter 3ish, with the in-game clock showing well over 60 hours AFAIR.)
It's just too much. Even compared to Icewind Dale, the amount of combat is bloody off the charts. Outside of rather mediocre puzzles (this ain't no Grimrock 2), there's also not much to spice that up, whereas Kingmaker had you engage in "genuine" detective work in the bloom chapter. Additionally, I whish there was more unique combat (which they do too), rather than mostly trash or copypaste. If Rogue Trader does the same, but this time in turn-based, I'll give that a pass.
Unsure what settings I was on, I think it was a mix of "normal" and a notch above that (also no auto-leveling of companions, enemy damage at 100% with the default being 80%, also tuned the setting that basically slashed enemy damage resistance in half to be the normal 100% etc.) I remember there was a setting for enemy numbers, but I think that is on the lower end by default expect for the highest difficulty presets available.
