Dear Obsidian,
Please stop the group crowd control. No, seriously. Please stop the 30 second paralysis and stun lock. It's not fun in World of Warcraft, and it's nowhere near balanced or fun in Pillars of Eternity. I've never come so close to punching my monitor than when fighting multiple Cwen Gala (sp) and/or Sirens.
This is my only complaint about the game. That I can walk in and be held in place repeatedly while monsters chew on me and THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO. And the spell that helps with it has to be recast every 30 seconds. That could be done if those shades and spectres hadn't teleported on top of Durance and wiped him while he was paralyzed.
Dragon fights are silly. Yes. But they're optional, and can be cheesed through.
Level cap is debatable. Some love it, some hate it. I hate it, but can live with it.
You need more single target mage spells, especially with friendly fire. But dealable.
You need a way to clear enchants from an item. Artifacts are meant to be vendored, anyway.
You need better pathfinding. I can't count the number of times I've seen my characters (or the enemy AI) run between two points and not make progress. Or give up and just stand there.
But this paralysis thing? It's frustrating, it's infuriating, it's mind boggling.
Oh, wait, sort of related to losing control of your character: if you charm a PC and they change weapons during the charm change the weapon back when the charm ends. The PC is not going to stand there and go, "Der, the AI thought it'd be nice if I used my pistol even though I'm a tank, so I think I'll follow that order."
But group paralysis has to go.
Sincerely,
Me
