Early Access Review
This game has bugs both visual and mechanical. Plenty of mechanics are different from 5e and are either unintended or glitches (two weapon fighting style is supposed to add your modifier to the damage roll, not the attack roll as it is in BG3). I currently cannot progress any more because when I try to sleep in camp for a long rest the game crashes regardless of how I launch it as the launcher suggests.

Even with all of this in mind I would highly highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a modern CRPG. The characters are great, the story interaction is great, and the combat is a lot of fun. I feel rewarded for tactical gameplay and for choosing skills which I would like to succeed in. There are rewards and consequences to your actions and the game's gameplay trees of "what happens if you..." seem endless even in this first act. I could start the game again as a new character as a new class and make all different choices for a completely different experience. I could choose different party members, take different routes, do things in a different order, and get an entirely different experience.

There's a lot to iron out and a lot you have to be willing to overlook for its EA state, but I have extremely high hopes for this game's future and cannot wait for the next patches and updates for additional content. This will be the gold standard for CRPGs.
