If you like classic DND games, you'll like this

Amazing game. Lots of reading. This game was made early in the life of this dev company on crowd sourced funding so what can you do. It's really good of you can organize your quests and push through how hard it is to keep track of and move forward in your quests, etc . Played both dlc, very worth it.

Great journey, some optimization issues

The game has a good story with interesting mechanics, a lot of micro management (if you're into those kind of RPGs) and I genuinely enjoyed the journey. Good job Obsidian and all the Kickstarter backers *clap*. The only problem I had with the game is the optimization. On a GTX 1080 it was not utilizing the GPU properly and I had inconsistent fps and the clock speed was dropping. I fixed it by using "-force -d3d11" in launch options.
