This game took me back and showed me what a proper RPG looks like.

The first time I booted it up, I hated it. I thought it was another disappointing, clunky, Early Access title.. It wasn't until I went back; a good 10 months later, I realised it was "clunky" by design. I wasn't "the chosen one", I'm just some tw** kid still living with his parents. And at that point, everything clicked into place. You want to swing a sword and actually hit something? Practice! Can't draw a bowstring with your weak arms? Practice!

All of these systems I used to hate I absolutely love now, because they do get much, much better. I highly recommend this game.

Hopefully the patch is released within' a reasonable time. But for now, it's tolerable with a Trainer.

Oh man, now I feel bad. I wish I'd seen this before I created an entire new thread. I figured this was just exclusively for the X-one. Do you know if y'all are going to do a QL of this, or are you too bogged down with end of year stuff?

Total Biscut, sorry my bad. He was a youtuber who did quick "reviews" for PC games. Sadly he just passed from cancer this year.

I was really looking forward to this game but, SO disappointed after picking it it up (Caution: venting below)

First off, let's talk lack of rebindable keys. That is if you can even get to the controls option menu. They bothered to let you navigate using the arrow keys, but the fucking enter key does fuck all! You have to use a mouse to confirm your selection, and good luck getting out if you accidentally select the wrong menu item. As most sane people would assume you could hit escape to back out of it. NOPE! It's the godamned right mouse button!

Once you do get into the menu, you're greeted with the fun game of "guess which action this button is bound to before you rebind it, 'cause we're sure as hell not going to tell ya." Oh by the way, escape doesn't work to back out of this either, you have to hit the same fucking key this action is bound to already. The WASD keys are all locked down, so good luck if you're left handed or have some type of disability like I do (Cerebral Palsy), you're just left out in the cold all together. And no, I'm not using autohotkey again for another shitty port. Even that wouldn't solve all of my problems because some keys are bound to MULTIPLE actions!

So far I've seen two mission types - Escort missions, and guard this "X". By the way, you're not allowed to move around at all, and you have limited ammo. HAVE FUN! The enemy spawn in is just plain stupid... Finally killed that annoying sniper? Here's 3 more that just spawned in behind you!

Why is nobody covering this game?! It was so hyped before launch, and then nothing. At least in the circles I tend to visit. Man, I miss TB...

Now I just want to go play D2: LoD and visit my ear collection. Ah, simpler times...

I'm not sure if this is in response to the fiasco, but Destiny 2 is free on PC until the 18th if anyone is interested. I was oddly drawn into it when I got it through Humble Bundle. Great game.

@tennmuerti: "at some point on that spectrum you just get to Diablo, where the joy is all in the slash and not in the reading of the lore or picking kittens out of the trees."

LoL, damn. My dreams of being a old timey firefighter have been dashed! In all seriousness though, I think I'll try the earlier Divinity games and then Pillars. Thank you for that list. It was more than I was expecting quite honestly.

I know right? It just had that certain charm to it. I loved it.

@snacko00: Oh really? For some reason I thought there were only the two games. I'll go take a look at those. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey all,
I've been thinking about the Divinity series and I love the idea of the "do anything" playstyle it offers. Creating spells, stealing everything except the kitchen sink, exploring the lore, reading the books, etc. The only barrier I have with actually pulling the trigger and buying it, is the turn-based combat. For some reason I'm just not a huge fan of games with AP/MP. I don't know why, I just can't get into them no matter how hard I try.

I was wondering if there were any other games like these. Except, trading in the turn based combat with a more "hack n' slash" style. The only two games I can think of referencing are Ultima 8: Pagan, and Revenant. And yes, I do realize Ultima 8 was a pretty bad game compared to the other games in the series but, it was my first RPG that I completely got absorbed in as a kid, so lay off :P

I'm mainly looking for isometric, so Skyrim is off the table. Trust me, I've played the crap out of that game too.
