On the one hand I think Gita really nailed the issue with D&D - reloading when i didn't Perceive correctly over and over in a cavern full of traps set me off the game for a month, easy.

On the other hand, when the game plays with you, it's glorious. TK'ing an enemy mage into their own AOE so hard they stop concentrating, kicking someone into a chasm, exploding barrels - I cackled the first time and I cackled the last time.

Some of the big combat setpieces are so clever and fun, and I really wish there was more of them! Too many of them were dime a dozen "here fight some guys, they all have no resistances and no weaknesses and there's nothing interesting about the environment".

So, you know. Big fun. Loved the characters. Dragged my feet a little in the last act. It's hard to put a number on that. I think Larian's great and I want them to keep making great, funny, fun games.
