Struggling to find my footing
I really wanna like this one, but I'm having a super hard time getting into it. I'm five hours in and feel completely disconnected to the whole thing.
There is SO MUCH LORE and I feel like I'm sinking with things that are thrown at me that I should know but don't. I expect to get some of that coming …

There is SO MUCH LORE and I feel like I'm sinking with things that are thrown at me that I should know but don't. I expect to get some of that coming into a sequel, but, if you do things right, someone can - and should be able to - hop into a series at any point and be able to find their way around. I am not finding that stable ground here, at all.
The combat is also...wow. I've chosen turn-based because that's the only way you can get me to play a top-down like this. To say I'm completely confused regarding the action economy here is putting it mildly. This system is...messy. Frankly, I have no idea what's going on with any of it. If you think D&D can get convoluted, woo boy.
Yeah, I don't know that this one is going to be for me. I somehow doubt dropping into the first game will help me here, since it's bound to just be more of the same, with less polish. Maybe another day.
