I think the story is good, I like the characters, I think showing the dice roll for skill checks feels great, and they make some very good improvements to the combat of DnD 5e.

However, it controls like shit, like, way worse than other CRPGs I have played. It's very easy to do random stupid stuff to screw things up (e.g. steal garbage right in front of someone making them hostile, or attack your ally instead of the enemy next to them), but its hard to do the normal things you do in an RPG to progress the story (e.g. see the names of NPCs so you know who to talk to, or click on a plaque to read it).

I genuinely think the combat and gameplay is worse than Dragon Age II and that's not really that high of a bar. This is the game everyone has been losing their mind over all year?
