Sure good for you and others that do I'm happy for you but inXile is not happy.
This was the second kickstarter game from them that under-performed, and probably had something to do with the Microsoft merger this month.
Another couch analysis who thinks they know what someone else is thinking and passes it off as fact…
Do I have to write personal assessment of mine is inXile is not happy…cause nobody writes that we assume the reader knows.. it's always an opinion….but guess not.
So happy now I can also dig up estimated sales, reviews, and player stats for you.

I rather tend to believe now that this game is rather a flop because the game is so much British. The music and everything. Non-Action game. People of now can't stomach that, I fear.
The game's not so great success is a result of unfulfilled expectations leading to dissapointment.
Most gamers expected a game with similar mechanics to Bard's Tale 1-3. They got an adventure puzzle game.

Okay ... Well, I never knew the early games, so I didn't expect everything.
But the music ... that's *really* the most unlikely thing in gaming I've ever heard !

I think it's a perfect game for you, Alrik.
You like adventure and puzzle games and you like games that are not so dark, more light hearted.

While this game didn't come across to me like the first three in the series do, I did enjoy playing it for what it is. There are a lot of positives in the game, and the polishing since I've completed my first play through will only make a return even more likely, maybe even sooner.
It is not a horrible game it just isn't a great game and (imho) it clearly wasn't finished; but i said all of this before.

I could care less that it is not the same as the first 3; but can understand that it disappointed others. I think another problem (in conjunction with above) is the game space has become very crowded and substandard games just can't compete.
