This game is very much like every Owlcat game. You either stumble on a broken build and steamroll regardless of difficulty, or struggle through with a normal build and get infuriated by random difficulty spikes. I hope Ben is enjoying it, and that the game gets patched to be a bit more stable before he gets to act 3.

Benperor! Just wanted to let you know that even if you aren't feeling great about reading all the lines, you are doing an excellent job. I actually enjoyed hearing you read out the story. Sometimes when I'm listening to videos, I drown out voices that don't seem important, especially if there is ever utter drivle mixed into other voices. That definitely includes NPC dialogue. Listening to you was surprisingly easy to focus on. Honestly if you were willing it would be nice to hear you read out some of the descriptions of what those characters are doing in those text dialogues. I noticed there were some fun descriptions that would have made listening to your reading even better. If you are willing to give it a go, I would love to see you play this more.

Praise the Benperor! Praise Kremlo! Personally I don't really find it different if all that text were to be voice acted vs Ben reading it out himself. Obviously voice acted is preferable as it's less reading our boy has to do himself, but the whole "lot of text = bad for streaming" I just don't get 🤷🏻♂️ But I'm also down to just chill and watch Ben play this game to see what it's like. I'm enjoying his role play as a stuffy nobleman.

As others have said, early versions of owlcat games can be pretty buggy and unbalanced. See: Argenta killing most encounters in the first turn with the help of an officer. Would love to see Ben give this a shot, but with a brain as big as his, he'll probably spot the build even sooner than I did. Arch militant is crazy.

I think what annoyed me was the constant complaining about Argenta, like yes if you're doing the option that fires 1 shot instead of 4 shots she's going to do less damage than if she fired 4 shots. She's hands down the strongest member of the starting party and basically carries fights solo in the later game.

The bugs and broken content are almost entirely in Acts 4 and 5, particularly if you're playing Heretical. A lot of the worst of them have been patched already though. My experience in Acts 1-3 was essentially bug free. I might have encountered one or two maybe but nothing remotely significant.

@@nocturnal8171 The difficulty scaling is felt more if you aren't making good builds. Fortunately, there are actually quite a few good ones for the player character. Companions, particularly the early ones are a bit more limited but there are still options. I do agree that the difficulty & scaling need some fine tuning though. Space Combat scaling is just ridiculous though given how long it takes to acquire the right ship components. This should be something the address with the upcoming DLC since a major focus of it will be ship customization and adding more rooms & stuff to do onboard. What bugs did you encounter and jow long ago was your playthrough because the only bug I can recall having in Act 2 is the slow AI in one combat. Despite the buggy state at launch, they were quite quick at addressing bugs in the early acts and only recently began focusing on later acts. I'd expect the game to be in a fully playable state by the end of January to early February with the bugs ironed out of the final two Acts.
