I concur- I started a thread posting my dissatisfaction but, for some reason, it seems to have been removed...despite in being a well written and balanced view on the current state of the game... The game has real potential- it's gorgeous, the music and sounds amazing, there is a rich story (so far) and the mechanics/gameplay are solid. The issue is that.....it's completely bugged to the point that it just isn't worth playing at the minute in its current state. I would simply shelve the game, for now, and await it being fixed. Once the game breaking bugs are resolved, I think this will be a great game- certainly one worth picking up and playing. Until then...I would just wait. This game needs to work in order to entice other developers to the isometric "IE style" genre. BG1&2 are still my ALL TIME favourite games and I have been longing for a game that captures my imagination to the same extent that BG1&2 did...

I don't want to moan about a game that aspires to live up to the likes of Baldurs Gate/Baldurs Gate 2 (to date, my favourite games of all time and will probably remain that way for all eternity), but....it is really, really frustrating to have waited so long for a game that compares to BG1/2 on face value, but the bugs ruin the experience completely. I mean, I know they will patch the game and do so as soon as is reasonable, but it will somewhat tarnish my view on the game regardless. Every day I play the game or search the forums I see new bugs appear which are....game breaking. This compounds my concerns (I am experience several of the bugs listed- currently stuck in Raedrics' Keep) as I feel a "quick fix" simply isn't possible. In summary....I will shelve the game until the bugs are resolved, which I hope will be sooner rather than later....I just wish they had delayed the release some 1 or 2 months (or however long it required) in order to iron out these bugs... Apologies for the rant, I am just....disappointed.
