I hadn't even heard of it, until my pen and paper D&D loving father started texting me about it just before release. He's in the same boat waiting for console, he only owns an xbox, so sadly he's got a wait ahead.
Not had too much time to play, but it's definitely got potential to consume my life.
- Character creator is fantastic, if you're the type who loves to fine tune builds, you'll be there 84 years.
- It looks and runs great, refreshing for a big project to not be a broken mess.
- Has the right TONE for D&D, never takes itself too seriously, a lot of the encounters are ridiculous.
- The level of freedom is nuts. Like kill a main character you've just met in a cutscene, by just jumping his ass as he walks away nuts. I just wanted to see if I could, and uhhh, yeah, yeah you can.
- It can be a cruel mistress. Got a critical fail on a roll to resist a squid man seducing me so he could eat my face... legit game over, party defeated.
- Quick save OFTEN, my one critique is the autosaves are not at all generous.
- As a predominantly controller player, I was surprised how well it adapts to different inputs. On the fly completely changes the UI and camera to suit how you want to play, really well done.
I'm going to start again when I get more time to sit down with it. I only rushed out a random character to check it out.
I'm on vacation in 2 weeks, then I get back and Starfield is out, gunna have 2 GIGANTIC rpgs fighting for my time
