Now this is more like it.

An old testament style cRPG about absolute power, both literal and figurative.

How many games do you get to play as, legitimately, the villain? Wild game in the mold of Tides of Numenera, Planescape, Disco Elysium

The gameplay is similar to Baldur's Gate. Isometric, semi turn-based/real-time RPG. I like the spell system, which will have you "create" spells. But it is really just only semi customization. You can tweak a spell a little here or there. They should elaborate on this to make it a lot more exciting.
I like the idea of a multiclass character. It is great that the more I use an ability the better it becomes. I also like to have all skill trees and being able to start skills in other skill trees than the one my type of character would normally do. I just do not like the specific skill trees of this game.
Why does the main character have a completely different skill tree than the companions, and why do the companions have unique skill trees. Why does several of the companions have less customization, like Barik cannot change armor. I know the story behind Barik but I just do not like that I cannot change his armor.
Not enough companions. I can only have 3 with me at all times and there are only 6 in total to choose from. There should have been 12-15 to choose from.

Some voice acting, and the music is ambient but without any wow effect. Do not expect anything impressive. I would say that even Baldur's Gate II had more voice acting in it.

Graphics are not fantastic either, but what is there is acceptable. Not a lot of animations in combat really. Feels the same as BG2 really (better graphics but same amount of animations I would say)

Plays just like Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale. Practically the same. It was solid then and still is.
Use mouse for point-and-click effect. Use keyboard for spell spell selection, camera movement and the allmighty space-pause

The story is bland at best.

I play this game because I like this type of game. Baldur's Gate II being the best of them. This game does not surpass it but it has me remembering why I like BG2.
