A few puzzle elements are in the game, but all fair.
Be sure to complete the side quests - they are the bread and butter of the game.

How are you supposed to beat the last stage of the Dwarf games? My party is nearly dead, my equipment sucks and the dwarfs simply wipe my guys out.
Blackgaurds is def one of the nicer surprises of (last) year. I finished the first beta (chapter 1) and was really impressed at the depth of combat and all the supporting features like skills and stats. While I do wish it was more free form in it's exploration, the way they used the static towns and the beautiful adventure map to tie everything together works pretty well.
Can't wait for the final release!
I'm through. The 5th act is pretty hard, even on the now easier 'normal' level. Reviews should be popping up left and right in a couple of hours.
The release version made quite a big step forward from the Early Access. Tutorial is very good now, plus the ruleset and the formulas are explained in a long article in tnhe game. This officially makes it the most accessible DSA RPG ever.
Character generation is in. You can choose mage yes or no, gender and look, type in a name, spend a couple of 1000 points on whatever you like (until you reach the ceiling for that item). Then you choose your equipment - which doesn't matter for story related reason - and start the game.
Yay!Character generation is in.
Demo on Steam tomorrow:
The demo also contains the new expert character creation mode that let's you create your characters more freely. Also, player's will be able to use their savegames for the full game.
If you want a game that's 90% combat, but which has no real story, no exploration, very limited dialogue, then sure get this!!
