I loved the story and the main character. I suppose it may be love it or hate it cause it's very different than anything I've played till now and it was really good. Also having played Divine Divinity... you can't miss this one. So:

Pros:
- Story. Very, very good! I'd get into detail here but spoliers. So I'll just say its original, its got its surprises, its got some really hard / emotional bits and the ending was amazing!
- Puzzles and exploration.

Cons: Lots. The game feels unfinished. For example a female npc may deliver a line in a male voice then swap to a female voice next line. There's a list there of non gamebreaking issues.

Play this game! I'm starting with that cause I opened it about 3 times and closed it on the "character generator" screen. The graphics seemed old and I didn't feel like starting it. But after I did:

- Great story. I really don't wanna ruin it but there's so much that's good about it!
- Great sense of humour. Love the main characters lines!
- Freeeeeeedom! Freeedom! Freeeedom! I realised half way all the things you can do. Its your world. Put a couch on top a hill if you want to and haul your bed there too.

It combines an open world with a strong main storyline. Some parts of the story are hilarious and amazing. Its just... soooo... good!

Edit: Just gotta add after finishing the game. WHAT AN ENDING!

It's a very good game. Quite enjoyable and relaxing.

Pros:
-Good old combat with micromanagement.
-Lack of drama storywise, a refreshing change.
-Nice story delivered in small bits and clues.

Cons:
-Getting stuck at doorways.

The new Energetic personality is great!

Great game and a very good sequel to the first one. Took a bit of time to get used to the ship and the sea exploration but after a while I just loved it!

Pros:
- Open style world. Seas and islands to explore. Not much dungeon crawling.
- Interesting world, politics, quests, npcs and companions.
- Nice combat, classes, opponents.

If you're coming from the first one you'll love having some of the old bunch back with you on the road and the one issue I had with the previous game has been fixed: npcs react to your class, race, background etc. nicely.

Cons:
- Main story line though impressive -Eothas is amazing- has an ending that was not satisfying.

One of the best games I've played. Open world, an incredible amount of things to do, sidequests that feel important and great gameplay. On the downside, it's got a few bugs.

My favourite game of all time.

Bah! Eloquent enough?

Very dissapointing. I expected an RPG and this does not even feel like a game, more like click on the next point and wait for the cutscene/dialog to trigger. The developpers have a story and characters and I'm just watching their characters go through their story as a passive observer, not a player. The story is good (but not amazing), the characters are not that interesting and their interactions / dialogs remind me of a bad soap. As for the lore, it's not bad but instead of merging it with the game and getting the player to get to know the world naturally and gradually, you get pages and pages to read, as if you're studying for a history exam. The "messages" are not subtle in the least bit. There is no exploration, no sense of player agency. Might as well read a book or watch a movie. Stopped playing after about 8 hours. I wanted to give it a chance, the only reason I played that much, but I got incredibly bored. Towards the end I was just looking at the screen thinking "Please, not another dialog in which I have no part! Let me do something!"
