can't wait!!
can't wait!!
I think I will eventually play this game to completion on an easy difficulty. The battles and gameplay become such a slog after a while, with all the buffing and removing stat decreases and such.
Usually in this type of game, I enjoy playing the games on quite hard difficulties. And I would not mind replaying difficult battles a few times to learn what works. But here I started dreading not finishing a battle, since I would have to go through boring party maintenance tasks.
When the gameplay flowed, I enjoyed it, so therefore I think I could enjoy it quite a lot at easier settings.

I usually use core rules, but WotR was more enjoyable for me without additional enemies and without criticals. These settings alone made the combat much less time consuming, yet it still was relevant part of gameplay. That worked for me.
I still havent finish the game. I made 2 serious runs (aside of several runs used to test different classes) and both I had to put aside somewhere around the demon city part.
Will make another attempt after this DLC is released. I suppose I will not need to invest in new games at least till end of the year :-D
Great more DLC to draw you back into a game I finished over six times already.
I'm sure more DLC is still on the way and I'll replay the game again.

Yeah, I also quit in the demon city. Some fights that were just too punishing...
I have yet to finish my first play-through.
I had an angel paladin build and got really disappointed that I couldn’t romance Arueshalae (she said she wanted to be friends; there’s something really cool about an angel romancing a demon c’mon) and got tired around act 4 because the game didn’t introduce something fresh like the previous acts had: wider map exploration, war battles, kingdom management, or a really unique area. It just plopped you back out into the world.

It is inspired by ME3 citadel DLC

Eh you can romance Arueshalae as an Angel mythic. It just means you screwed something on the way.
Act 4 is where the main plot really thickens since Act 5 is pretty much last one (Act 6 is just Threshold and reletively short).
One thing that still bothers me how they implement DLC in their games. I prefer it to be added to the game as you play, and not loaded from the main menu instead.
Hopefully they take the info from those survey's into consideration.

I think you got the essence of what the problem with WotR is. I finished the game, but it took me months to finish it (500h). I won't lie, even though I love this type of game (I love OwlCat too), near the end of the game the battles felt like a chore. It was so repetitive. I don't know why they had to put so many mob fights in this game. Not only that, but the items and abilities by the end of the game become so complex and over-the-top, that every time I had a new interesting item or I had to level up, it was so difficult and complicated. A real headache. Keep in mind that this is coming from someone that has played the PF tabletop game for a few years and loves any D&Dish experience.
I've seen the same complaint from a lot of players. I think Owlcat tried to do too much by including both real-time and turn-based modes. They should have just went with one or the other. I feel like the amount of combat is balanced for real-time, but they included turn-based to cater to more people. The end result is a game that's way too long (for many) when you play turn-based.

Simple solution - play in RTwP like me
It only took me about 120 hours with completionist approach.Haven't played WotR yet (waiting for the final DLC), but doesn't it let you swap between turn-based and RTwP anytime, like what they added to Kingmaker? Don't have to fully commit to one or the other like PoE2. So it doesn't seem that big of a problem, just switch to RTwP for easy fights.
RTwP is what I prefer as well.Simple solution - play in RTwP like me
Yes, but my point is a lot of people obviously aren't doing that. It sounds like an easy solution, but I think a lot of fans who prefer turn-based aren't willing to switch to RTwP for whatever reasons. Probably because many of them aren't comfortable with it.
Well, I can answer it for me personally. In terms of combat D20 is a ruleset about managing ressources . For non-trivial combat you need spell slots, potions, scrolls, wands, hit points, ability usages etc.
So for me, especially in this game, it wasn't about only winning encounters, but winning while using minimal ressources. And in RTwP I just couldn't play as efficient as in TB.
I'm also thinking about a replay when the final DLC is released. But I don't feel like messing with the the unnecessarily complex Mythic paths again, or fighting repetitive battles for 300 hours.
So I'm thinking about switching to some easy difficulty playing RTwP and just breeze through. But that would take away half of the fun...
And the there's the pointless crusade management...
