This is about the technical issues only, not about the game content or the story.

I'm sure this is a great game and I would really like to play it and get to know the series as Veilguard drops soon and I wanna dive into the lore but in 2024 it's simply unplayable.

First, the game just refused to even launch, crashing all the time at the point of clicking "Play" in the menu and kept redirecting me to a dead website for "DLC activation".

I managed to launch the game after some manipulation with game files but it's still working very poorly.
Textures are messed up (and I've set the graphic settings to a minimum) and the game keeps crashing in the most random moments.

I'm extremely patient but it managed to drive me insane.

Very disappointed.

I have a hate/love story with this game.

I played it the first time on a console and after first 1o hours I rage-quit because it was so hyped at the time, I was overly judgemental about everything and I was MAD. Expectations management failed.
I have a tendency to rush through the story in games which you don't want to do here AT ALL otherwise it's a really disappointing experience.

I came back a week later to give it another go because I'm greedy, deluxe edition for ps5 costed quite a lot. And also curious to know what the hype was actually about.
I did my first playthrough and still was not really impressed, especially by the ending.

What I did like though was music (huge kudos to Borislav Slavov, the music is just magical) and the visuals. The game is such an eye candy! This aspect is important because it pushed me to try the game again but on PC so I can use custom camera tool to take nice pictures.

And here's where the love story begins.

I'm enjoying the game now because I know how I should play it and I'm more or less used to turned-based combat by now. Must admit, not a huge fan of turned-based combat, but it's DnD, it's only right.

Larian Studios did a great job and they continue to provide us with improvements. New kisses animations are amazing, this is something I didn't have the first time and was a bit disappointed by how bland the romances were with just one animation. And it's just one example. There are many more.

I think everyone should at least try it. And if you're somewhat like me, just be patient. I thought the game was not for me, but it has made its way on my favourites shelf after all.
