IMO this is a buggy game. Reason I say this is because the Xbox version has the same issues. I had some many issues with the Xbox version, along with incredibly slow load times, I got sick of it and picked up the PC version. At least the load times arent slow anymore. The problems are various and to numerous, main ones are characters not facing you when talking, not properly applying stackable bonuses to items, cut-scenes cutting off, very poor framrates in (Khoonda primarily), and my Damage and To-Hit bonuses do not seem to be applying.
Im familiar with the D&D3.5 rule-set, and I dont think To-Hit bonuses, and Damage Bonuses are not being applied properly. Now for example, starting on the Xbox, I have on fight with 6 or so baddies and took them all down in about 4 minutes, but a fight with 1 individual (Boss) took less then a minute. Same exact fight, except I have a higher Strength, better To-Hit, 6 baddies took again about 4 minutes, but the Boss took well over 5 minutes. Unfortunately the game doesnt allow you to see the math calculations going on behind the scenes, so I have no idea of my rolls and the opponents rolls.
As a side note to this, one time while goofing with something (Xbox version), dont remember exactly what I was doing, but all my Stats dropped to 8...and wouldnt reset until I restarted from a save.
Another item to mention, is on the PC version the main character seems to take longer to get in battle and start fighting then on the Xbox. There are no intiative checks, so I know its not that, would make sense if it were. Also, I should have a better to hit with a balanced weapon then having 2 seperate weapons (most of the time anyway). I know this uses a refined version of the D&D rules. But if your going to apply a rule-set, please follow it. That way characters can be designed and built up correctly to our (the players) specifications.
Dantoonie is my first planet, and I only have graphic problems in Khoonda...but just Khoonda...no where else on Dantoonie. I fixed this by going into the graphics options and turning everything down and off, and went right back to the game. I needed to do this everytime either dialog was started or I went to the menu screen (Item/Character/Map/etc...).
Those people that say they are not having problems, proboly do not notice them. With all these inconsistencies, I feel like Im playing a game thats still in Beta.
