not fun

got a quest from the rat and thought "hah! awesome!", tried to do it, people kept seeing me trying to open the door and i got thrown in jail. rest of my party went out to find a way to open it, get some lockpicking tools, get my main guy out, leave, immediately someone is like "get back in jail". i talk my way out of it and go back to trying to get past the door but people see me again and now the entire town is fighting my party

that's the sort of story i've heard about this game 900 times over the past year. and it's kind of funny that that's happening. the problem is that absolutely none of it is Fun To Do. combat is boring, flipping through your action wheels is boring. i don't like coming up with creative solutions to things. i feel like it's YOUR job to make the game fun, not mine

it's just frustrating. this didn't seem like a game i was going to enjoy honestly, but the hype was SO massive that i figured i'd give it a shot. but cmon the first thing that really piques my interest is this silly encounter with a rat and you immediately throw eight boring obstacles in the way of me trying to do this silly little thing you made. my guy is a thief, PLEASE just let me pick the lock on this door and see what the rat wants.

also why is my protagonist silent. that's a pet peeve of mine in a game focusing so much on character and story

not trying to be super edgy with a 0.5 star rating, i just use this for my own tracking and it's basically divided into tiers and this is the lowest tier for me. almost nothing enjoyable.
