I'm 46 hours in and only about halfway to 1/3rd through the game (i think). The huge amount of content there is in this game is just amazing. You just keep finding more and more to do when you think you've already found everything. The story, writing, and dialogue are absolutely phenomenal. The characters stories are interesting, even if a little absurd sometimes but it gives it its own little charm. I'm always really excited to see the little ! above their head that tells me i get to progress and learn more about their story. The map and environment are so well done and beautiful im sometimes breathless at just how pretty it is.

The only downside i have with the game, is that the combat can be extremely frustrating sometimes. I can tell it was made to be much more streamlined for newer players who dont know DnD mechanics all to well. Playing as a bard i give inspiration and the game just has an "auto use" feature for it. Even if i had already made the at attack and its going to hit, the game will just use the inspiration dice to the roll absolutely wasting it. You have to go through the menus and find where you can change it to ask you when you want to use it. Which even then, thats only characters specific, and when you have the effect. So when you swap out characters for someone new, you forget "ah dangit i didnt switch it back to ask for this one yet" and its really frustrating. I really think it should have been an option in the game play settings to ask or something.

But this game absolutely is the best purchase you'll make in a long time. Highly worth it 9.5/10
