Far too many buffs/debuffs need to be managed mid to late game that fights feel like more like busy work and less like combat. You can customize the game to make it as hard or easy as you want but it feels like your copping out if you need to turn things down to avoid micromanaging spells and buffs. None of the cast of characters had stories that were particularly interesting to me and the way some their stories are abruptly segmented between chapters makes you wonder sometimes if they even have any more content what so ever. There are some points where you might get 10% of a companion characters side story content which you then need to do another another 30-40+ hours of main story content before they have anything else to do or say. The Story itself is very "Wordy" without ever actually doing or saying anything smart or interesting. The game is fairly faithful to it's tabletop counterpart so much so that unless your a fan I feel it's a massive detriment and some systems from tabletop just don't belong in computer role playing games. Some of these mechanics are in other game as well like AC which just pointlessly turns every heavy armor tank into a dodge tank and you become only as tanky as your dice rolls allow you to be while always having the penalty for wearing your armor. Every other rpg that's not a direct derivative of DnD solved this years ago like Wasteland and Fallout.

All in all it's not an awful game and I wish I could rate it with a "Mixed" because it can be fun and it has lots of classes and variety's of spells and exploration and also features it's own version of heroes of might and magic esque battles to take keeps which is fun but exhausting to manage when you just want to get to the next story arc. If I could recommend something else I would say get Wasteland 3 or Expeditions:Rome which was more the thing I was looking for when I bought this game and would of bought those instead.
