The plot, the characters, the set pieces and all that: Top tier. Absolutely amazing.

The technical aspects: The only games I know of with similar levels of bugs and issues are Bethesda's RPGs. I can't take 5 steps without encountering some small, but annoying issue.

I was cautious about the game because while it was in EA I heard absolutely no good things about it, and they seem to have been legitimate critiques. The story, writing and all that is great, but the technical issues are far from ignorable. It really could use more polish.

But I mean, I'm still playing it, same as a Bethesda RPG. And actually liking it more because it's way better written and the characters are fun to hang out with.

Same boat here. 50 hours in and I can't go 30 seconds without the camera bugging out, using a skill that doesn't match the tooltip, a quest breaking, etc. Its still really cool and I believe that Larian will get it there, especially with the pace at which they are releasing fixes, but I thought that the full release would be a bit more polished. I think 6 more months in the oven would've been helpful, but with how long they were in EA I understand releasing it now.
