I found this very early pretransituon journal of mine. Now that you mentioned personalities. It's fun to read. Seriously tho. Lol.

Alright, let me say in advance that I decided to buy this game after reading all the negative EA reviews. Also, I am not some kiddo that plays the game for 50 minutes and then says: 'Oh my gohd, this game is so difficult, blah blah'.
I am a RPG Player I started out when I was a kid with BG1, BG2, NWN, Icewind Dale, Pathfinder Kingmaker, The Dungeon Siege franchise, the Sacred franchise, the Diablo franchise, The Elder Scrolls franchise, Gothic/Risen 1, 2 and 3, The Shadowrun Games, and some of the very recent titles are: Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, Stoneshard, Encased. So, I pretty much have seen everything and have a certain preference when it comes to RPGs, especially isometric RPGs.

Now to the meat:

This game is an absolute banger. However right now I would rate it a 7/10. I will get to it in a moment.

I will start with the things that I like about this game and then list those that I don’t like. Don’t get me wrong here, just because I like or do not something doesn’t mean it is bad or good, it is simply my own perception/expectation.

LIKES:
- Extensive character creator with various play styles possible
- Being actually able to go solo
- Game is challenging and rewarding for well thought out strategies/builds
- Graphics are nice and procure nice ambience
- Itemization varies a lot and permits various builds
- Sneak Mode is very interesting
- Almost any situation can be resolved with both combat and verbal argumentation

DISLIKES:
- The fact that you cannot initiate the sneak mode on your own but only at very specific pre-made events c*ck-blocks the fun of a sneaky character
- The fact that the player cannot initiate combat on his own or at his own location/pace is another c*ck-blocker. Often you simply open a door and then you are first dragged into a very enclosed space with no way to run away and then made fight 3+ people at once
- Usually in isometric RPGs like this one, every levelling-up character will get some Max HP based on his/her constitution. That is not a fact here. After character creation (from what I experienced) there are only two very slim way of getting some HP. First: get an implant to raise constitution by 1 which will give you 5 Max HP. Second: choose a Feat that will raise HP by 5….. Not very rewarding. And since (when playing solo, and I know that solo might be a greater challenge but come on…) you usually fight at least 3 people who are optimized for combat, since they are not a player and do not need either negotiation skills or Charisma, they have their attributes divided so that they have really well hit chance, high HP (40+) and high amount of Action points per round, you will likely lose every physical-combat encounter. So, the summary is: while enemies increase in numbers, your HP and thus your survivability does not, so you gradually become weaker.
- I had a character (it was my second and I had to delete it after having played approximately 6 hours),
- In this game you NEED you save often, very often and on different slots, because as I described in my second ‘dislike’, sometimes you are teleported into a spot in which if you don’t look around extremely thorough you might not realize that there is no escape from that spot and if you save now, you can only go forward but never back, which can again (as it happened to my second character) lock you in a loop that is unsolvable with your current skills, resulting in have to load a state which was one hour ago or the once you made after character creation.
- The amount of information that is given to you about ‘what make the world go round’ is insufficient. I had to reload and create 3 characters to realize that the ‘take down’ only improves with the ‘critical’ skill. So, either in character creation or in the Character menu (‘C’) you should be able to mouse over any skill or attribute to get extensive information on what it does and influences AND: BY HOW MUCH. This currently applies to Attributes (STR, DEX etc.) but not to skills.
- The game music is ♥♥♥♥. Sorry, I don’t mean to be offensive, but it is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring that I muted the music after 30 minutes and played some nice psytrance/psychill – a much better choice for this game.

I know I mentioned that I had to delete loop-locked characters with 3+ hours in them but in result to that I finished Chapter 1 in just 3 hours with my current character. So, it was worth it exploring/replaying the first 3 maps. It was fun.

So, these were definitely much more dislikes than likes and still I’d give the game a 7/10 for the following reasons:
I deduct 1 Point from the score, because if I were to give a game a 10/10 that would mean that there cannot be anything better, which I cannot imagine to apply to anything.
I deduct 1 Point for the game’s undynamic approach to combat being dragged around into ‘kill’-rooms.
I deduct 1 last Point for inability to start sneaking/attacking/pickpocketing ‘on the open street’
Everything else is bearable enough not to deduct points from.

Some of the negative points I mentioned might get changed in the future which might result me in changing my review. I will be very much looking forward to that.

So, if all of this was not clear enough: If you’re an RPG player who likes a challenge, buy the game. If you’re a whiny little kid that will start crying after realizing that the stats you rolled were misplaced, don’t buy the game.

Ok, here is an UPDATE:
A few days ago a new content patch lauched, introducing a new playable map etc. But I cannot get there. As I finished all the content prior to that patch and was on a map called "The Factory". And apparently once you are on that map, you CANNOT LEAVE?!?!?. So the solution to that is to load an autosave that had been created when I entered The Factory, which was an eternity ago and all my progress in that map would be void. So, the last time I rated that game a 7/10.
I will now rate it 6/10 as that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. How the F. can I not go back?

Seems like a kewl game, def lowkey on my radar.

Never finished planescape:torment or bg1,2 either.

You know what though. I'm confident that the colony ship survives, cuz those guys probably will keep living and making more ppl.

Who knows tho. Maybe only bots eventually.

What if the aliens are spirits to come and take us to heaven because we are dead? Not by killing us. When we go with them though, we go through the veil?

And we're afraid, so the government that is going to fight us is our fear of them and if we want to go with the spirits peacefully we need to let go of our fear or something like that.

They are here to help us move on because we are all dead. Already. And the aliens are us, and the heavens are the temple. And that is our brain we are looking at through a telescope. And the earth is what we create with that brain. And time is in our brain, so that is why our past and our future are mirrors. Because there is really no time anymore. Just so we feel comfortable looking at when we posted last. So our brain doesn't freak out as it dissipates. Or gets absorbed.

The only party embracing nazi's in the US are the republicans, Nazi's and the southern rebellion traitors flag.

You dont need to be a nazi to be republican, but 100% of the Nazi's waving Nazi flags are Republicans for a reason they are embraced.
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Example this is the modern day republican party, Nazi's and Facists there are no values left other than forced child birthing.

Just because you are too dumb to understand messaging / see the nazi's in your party as trump defends them does not make them disappear

So people say conservatives / republicans are Nazi's for a reason, they are the only party consistently bringing Nazi flags to their events there is no Nazi faction of the democratic party, only the republicans have that.

Leaving out nazi chants like we will not be replaced... just some examples

Again this is not a small faction, this is the republican party trump didnt sleep with mein kampf and hitlers speeches next to his bed / have his wife divorce him for it because he likes democracy.

Also if you do any research its very common for skinheads / nazi's to abuse meth... Hitler was a stimulant abuser (crude forms of meth) they idolize it.

lmfao @ ooloo saying mein kampf is a best seller to justify trump being a facist nazi keeping nazi speeches next to his bed to practice syntax for his base. Nothing good comes from trump idolizing the most evil man in history, trump was just too dumb to replicate.

Last comment not everyone hates nazi's... clearly republicans embrace them on the regular lol

Yes, an extremely remote section of the right larp as "nazis" cause it makes them feel naughty and cool. Who cares, everyone hates them.

Meanwhile the right supports israel while the left shits all over them, and supports palestinian aggression as some kind of necessary laudable endeavor. Palestine, where mein kampf is a best seller. You might say that the left are far more sympathetic to actual literal nazi attitudes, but you of course don't count that for some reason. Only REPUBLICANS are nazis, by your extremely specific and narrow definition. Politics are complicated womp womp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey guys I cherry-picked some photos of some dumb rally of a bunch of retards. Look at the scary flags! Therefor "this is the republican party". lol. Do you guys ever take five seconds to consider how dumb you are? Yes, guilt by association is a good thing! I am a good person because I like to hunt witches and condemn them without evidence or cause. Aren't I great?

Hahaha, that's all you've got? Do you honestly think trump had any idea who the fuck the proud boys even are? He obviously just stumbled in his speech because he's a huge buffoon. "Stand back and stand by", which was almost certainly supposed to be "stand back and stand down" sure means the same thing as "nazis are good". You leave out the part where for five minutes prior to that, chris wallace was berating him to "DENOUNCE WHITE SUPREMACISTS!!!" and he was like "fine! yes! I do! What do you want me to say?? I condemn them fully, yes, I do!!". Then he misspoke in a totally off-the-cuff, heated debate and you think it's actually evidence of something.

All you ever seem to have are these mythical "dogwhistles", no matter how much evidence to the contrary exists.
