Owlcat has some sort of sadist obsession with creating the worst encounters you've come across in your life, because they know other parts of the game are so good that you'll simply grit your teeth and endure them. Seriously bro what the fuck were they thinking with some of these encounters. Also the puzzles suck because of the UI. I actually liked the crusade management stuff. The story is VERY peculiar in some places, but the mythic paths I chose made it wrap up pretty nicely at the end.
