Please, try to describe it. Why? What? Huh?

I liked it, I guess it sucks to be you.

Well if you never played the infinity games (BG's series, Icewinddale series, Planescape) then yes, this game probably will be hard to be good for you. That is why the game only appeared today and only thanks to crowfunding.

If that style of game were still viable for big companies we would have it before.

For me, this game is truly the culmination from the infinity games and superb, but that is me.
Steam-forum-quality post there. Please try to think through what you're saying and start some sort of meaningful discussion. : P

I was really expecting it to be like Icewind dale 1 and 2. I liked those games because they were just dungeon crawls and story comes way second. This game is very much like spiderweb software's games which is just text and what not.

I dont play rpgs to read novels, I play games to beat enemies up and advance my chars.
Maybe you should've done some research before spending your money.

But that requires reading text. :D

That's more like an ACTION RPG rather than an in-depth story, quest, and character driven cRPG like it's advertised to be. The only reason they say IWD is because there is also a lot of combat and dungeon content with combat being a bit part of the game, really, but it is also a big deep homage to the classics PS:T and BG1+2 (which wasn't short of combat either.)

It seems you didn't look at the game at all before you bought it, you just wanted it to be whatever you wanted it to be with no regard for reality.

Right! I usually watch a let's play video on youtube before I buy a game unless it's really cheap. Perhaps this gentleman should give that a try.
Truth be told, I was simply amazed at how extensively rich the story line is in terms of various social constructs; I've taken college courses in cultural anthropology that pale by comparison; I feel like I'm reading a master's level thesis with this game. Kudos to the story writers.

That sounds like an interesting point of view on the storyline, would you care to create a new spoilerific topic and elaborate? You'd sure as hell get at least one reader.

Given the varying religious, ethnic, cultural and economic interests of the various factions, that alone accounts for an intensively immersive story line in and of itself, never mind the sword and sorcery or fantasy aspect. In many respects, this is not dissimilar to the motivations of the modern world and how history has shaped it.

And thank you, but no, I rather not go into any more detail; it would feel too much like writing another college paper and I've had enough nightmares over them already, LOL...

Dawwww, I promise I won't give you anything for writing that! You won't get anything at all! Umm... I'm bad at motivating people.
