Playing this right now, but while I love the game's systems and game world, I find myself quite entirely unimpressed by its premise. I feel the game's lvl1-cast to be a woefully inadequate choice for the primary quest (it seems absurd that Jamandi wouldn't task a band of veterans instead) and, frankly, no pc I'd ever generate could be a natural leader-type. So there is no sense of urgency, no sense of involvement or, indeed, any real motivation at all for my rogue to pursue her monumental task of usurping power in a war-torn province. Already in the first encounter at Oleg's place, I feel railroaded towards dialogue choices that seem entirely alien. Why would I get involved in that squabble at all? The prospect of having to babysit an entire barony of complete strangers does not appeal at all.
Should I continue or chuck this from my hdd before I waste any more time? I have the nagging feeling that I'd miss out on a great adventure, but I just don't see it atm.
Why do you feel railroaded or think dialogue choices are alien?
Great work.
I left the game late october. The lag was killing it for me. I thought that patching will fix it for me. I tried the game some days ago and the lagging is still there(better but still there).
I'm really close to completely abandon it.
This was a known problem since it left Early Access. I remember a few hot-fixes added a few optimization fixes. These were my two main gripes load times, and occasional lag.I left the game late october. The lag was killing it for me. I thought that patching will fix it for me.

Sorry to hear that Did you try to contact Owlcat Team about the lag? So it's not the long loading screen but actual lag during the gameplay? Hope someone will be able help you to fix this, it will be sad to hear you abandoning this gem due to a technical issue
Try posting in Owlcat forums or press F11 and report the issue in game.
If you don't report it nothing will get fixed. Even if you report it , they might not fix it.No, i did not try to contact them. I thought that i should wait for all the patching and then contact them,if the problem insists.
The lag started at the beginning of the second act and it's during gameplay. I have no problems with loading times.. First act was smooth. I checked some forums and realized other people had the exact same problem . Up until now, no solution.
I'll wait for some more patching and then contact them. Thanks for your replies guys.

I reported twice already (through email and with ingame F11 method) that Dwarf racial bonus vs poisons is not working (with screeshots) and it was never fixed (but in 1.2 patchnotes they mentioned fixing missing dwarf bonus vs bull rushes lol) .

It's unfortunate when game developers save the end game to the last. It's something I think they should design and start working on early in the process; a memorable ending can take a good game and make it great.
The "mediocre kingdom management system" is better than anything else I've seen aside from Crusader Kings 2 and that's a grand strategy. I'd be interested to know what RPGs did that better.
