For myself, I will say that I have had an absolute blast so far. Itās been so long since Iāve been this obsessed with a game; I canāt remember the last time Iāve sacrificed this much sleep just to squeeze in some more game time. The combat and the different ways you can approach a fight, the different ways you can solve/skip a quest, and the different ways you can respond to companions and NPCs ā all of it has lived up to my high expectations so far.
That said, I do think the game needs a bit more polish. My biggest complaint would be the current system for switching out party members. It is extremely tedious, and the fact that you have to do this just to access a personās inventory exacerbates the issue. My second biggest complaint would be the inventory management; filter tabs and the ability to rename pouches/backpacks would go a long way in fixing this issue. In terms of bugs though, I have encountered very minimal bugs (although I am still only in Act 1).
But none of the flaws so far have dampened my love for this game. Thereās been a hole in my heart since Dragon Age: Origins, and I was a bit skeptical when I saw some people saying that this game is the spiritual successor. But itās true, and this game has indeed filled the hole that DA:O left behind. If Acts 2 and 3 maintain the quality of Act 1 (unfortunately Larian doesnāt have the best track record for this), then this will probably be one of my all time favorite games.
This is so stupid and I love it.
Wait, you can do both???
I thought that bug was related to cross-saves, not cloud saves?
EDIT: It might have been related to both, based on the reddit bug thread. But this note was in the first Hotfix list:
Disabled Larian Account cross-saves temporarily to solve an issue blocking loads and saves. Steam cross-saves are unaffected.
From my personal experience ā I never had an issue with saves, and I never disabled cloud saves. HOWEVER, my Steam cloud sync hasnāt been working. The game works fine and I have no issues with saving in the game, but my saves fail when Steam tries to sync it to the cloud.
Are you immediately running into battles or are you taking the time to examine the environment and enemies before initiating battles? Obviously itās not always possible, but I usually spend a few minutes to plan some things before starting a fight.
I look at the environment to see if there are any items I can use to my advantage (barrels, chasms, etc.) or any optimal places to position my people (e.g., up high and out of sight for my rogue).
I also examine the enemies before hand to look at their strengths and weaknesses, and I change out my prepared spells accordingly.
In a game with dice rolls, itās inevitable that some things will come down to luck. But I do think thereās still a lot of ātacticalā planning to be had both during the battles but even before the fight starts as well.

Anyone seen this bug? Sounds hilarious.
i was planning to see both in theaters this weekend, but then I realized that Oppenheimer is 3 hours long. So itās just Barbie for me, and Iāll watch Oppenheimer when it gets to streaming.
