Early access my eye. This is a good game at the start when you know nothing and tried everything.

All I was saying is that if your post-release patch reads like a novel, maybe you should've tested the game a little more before officially launching it.  Then again, most major releases do that anyway, so the Early Access title doesn't mean as much as it probably should.

I'm enjoying the game now that I've gotten comfortable with how the mechanics work, and I stumbled across the Rock, Paper, Scissors exploit yesterday by accident, which made me pretty happy.  It's nice to know that I'll eventually be able to respec, too, since I absolutely hate wasting skillpoints in these kinds of games.

I seem to be having some issue with save games, I can't quick load, and any time I quit and reopen the game any new saves are missing...

They just released a hotfix: from the looks of it, it might address the problem you're experiencing:

Hi everyone!

We've been following the feedback on our first big patch and have noticed some critical issues slipped through our nets.

Because of that, we have just uploaded version 1.0.78:
- Several rare crash fixes
- Fix for newly introduced save/load issues (Mac)
- Fix for crashing on saving (Windows)

We apologize to those affected by these issues.
If you still have save/load issues after this hotfix, please let us know.

Fanbois (i.e. kickstarter testers), typically have different pain levels than the normal run of the mill consumer.  Things that they might put up with or ignore are frequently major gripes for mass market releases.

There was a switch I encountered that could only be pushed if I unlocked the camera rotation.  Quality QA.  I'm guessing the backers didn't get to take a shot at that one.

Lucalla has some really weird mob placement. I just had an epic fight against a bunch of level 11 mobs after besting a level 16 boss fight.   Ohhhhh, I see.  ONWARD.

I am enjoying it, fun puzzles, turned base combat is good.  there are LOTS of cheezy powergaming combos but as a single player game you don't have to use them.

Yeah, it's pretty good for ranged character.
Not so much for melee though.

For anyone worried about a 1h/shield build, it gets pretty ridiculous towards the end (at least I think I'm that far).  There's a weapon that drops that turns you into a crit/crippling machine, and your defensive stats will get to the point where you're near immune to everything (this is partially lucky drops) while blocking 70% (could be higher) of the time.

There a trash fight in the 3rd area that's harder than any of the bosses/encounters in the game.  You think you're under geared/shitty after trying that fight and then you just mop the floor with the shit that actually looks scary.  Heh.

So, uh, how BIG is this game ?  I got to the end boss, only to find out he's not the end boss at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy, but I'm left wondering 'Hey, am I actually gonna get value for money here ?' and being surprised.

Been playing it non stop since I bought it and I love it.  Some of it is utter shit, of course, but mostly it's good.  (Awful Gear, I'm looking at YOU.)

My wee Backstabber Rogue is a total rocket and also has about 400 arrows of various flavours that he's just never got around to using.  Imagine Hawkeye from the movies, except instead of One of those quivers, he has about 8 strapped to his back.

You should try those charm arrows. Hell, I even knocked down Bracchus Rex with Knockdown arrow fired from a DEX 5 Bow.
Those consumable arrows are really perfect for versatile ranger builds.
Backstabbing rogue claims they're king of DPS, but cries when the opponent switches target to them.
Guerrilla rangers just control the battlefield whenever. If you want extra lulz. Have your lone rogue fire a charm arrow as opener and hit stealth before engaging. Watch every mob blow cooldown on the lone charmed mob THEN drop the party on top of them.

My fav. party mix is Hide in Shadow Ranger gets in, drop a poison barrel, get out, fire arrow to detonate.
It gets them every damn time.

Speaking of which, I looked at that video linked above, the stealthy barrel chucker - I can't seem to lift those fucking things.  What's the requirements of STR and how many can you carry ?

Yes, it is.

As RK hinted, though, Telekenesis is what you want to move giant shit around. My Cleric has a TK of 4 and she moves things my 13 str warrior says "I can't throw/ carry that."  Not to mention snagging goodies that might be in the middle of a fire someplace.

I'm also finding that Teleport is getting less useful at ~13. Mobs just aren't taking as much damage when thrown, and one guy took a whole 9 points off his 1000 point HP bar, so that's fairly useless.

My biggest problem right now is finding someone with enough cash to take all the things I want to dump off.  Skillbooks are a great expendeture, but I'm still at 80-90% carrying capacity on all my characters because vendors have so little cash.  RPG problems.
