Meh frustrating.

Buggy:

- interacted with a merchant and they had one item in stock. Exited from their store screen and came back, dozens of items.

- just equipped an item which increased DEX but the higher DEX bonus that game me did not affect AC.

Ludicrously terrible writing, had to kick the female barbarian in my party as they were such an annoying, ludicrous, stroppy caricature.

Nonsensical rules which don't quite work in application. E.g. 'spider swarms' which apparently you can't just stamp on and no weapon hit will ever damage ... apparently torches are the way forwards, because obviously, setting fire to a spider too fast to stamp on with a flickering flame makes perfect sense - but no worry, not an issue for me as my torches seem to have magically disappeared from my inventory!

On the verge of giving up from boredom ...

Solasta: Crown of the Magister may be linear, but at least it works, mostly, as intended, and carries you along, rather than trying to trip you up all the time.

Oh, and Solasta reminds me about another thing - in Kingmaker you cannot rotate the camera. Well, you can and there are times when it's definitely needed (certain battles) but it's not implemented in the game. The graphics are in there and you can download a mod to rotate the camera[www.nexusmods.com] but ... it's just not there in the game as sold.

At best, this is one for the rules lawyers, but only if you're the sort of rules lawyer who wants those rules to be applied inconsistently, awkwardly with an emphasis on it not being fun.
