I love it and am losing sleep to play. I think I'm mid act 2, but who knows; you go a little and then a whole new area opens up for you. I have run into more bugs in the second act than the first. I had an undead bug out, T Pose, and unload a ton of textures whenever it was his turn in combat, which was fun. I also had a fight where the game triggered my Polearm Master when I moved into range of enemies with Halbreds, but if I used it, they'd hit me. Which meant they didn't use that for the whole fight once I figured out I could just say no. Enemies also took actions while it was my turn and I couldn't end my turn in that fight, so it was kinda borked. Might be because I joined from timed mode to haste people up.

Regardless, I'm going to sing the praises of this game and hope I don't hit a game breaking bug. I have the same gripes about camp inventory and party management, but ideally that gets fixed or modded soon.

I'm like 60 hours in and can't wait for a second run. I'm a goody two shoes this run, gotta get some evil durge in the next. And being able to respec your party means I can have a fresh set of combat mechanics next time no matter who I take.

Ah I had that same Polearm Master big and figured I was just overlooking some some of enemy reaction.
