Still Pathfinder: Kingmaker, but I should be able to finish it this coming week.

It feels like I'm always complaining about the game, but it just does have a lot of issues. The gameplay (meaning combat and exploring) is still good enough for me to put up with it though.

The story kinda picks up now, a shame it only happens after I'm already 100h into the game. Even then, there are a bunch of things that don't make sense. Some parts that your character should know about, but you can ask about it again and again at different points, as if you're hearing it for the first time. The DLC I did after the third act was ok. The pacing for the quests continues to baffle me. After a cool 200-day gap between Act 3 and 4, now you don't get any downtime at all. Everything is happening at once, with new notifications for events popping up constantly.

So, the game was originally just RTwP, and turn-based combat was added later via a mod, which was then officially implemented by the devs (I think). Because of this, I've been giving the game a pass for minor issues in combat, but this week was just bad at times. The game loves to eat parts of your turn constantly. I think it happens when you're right at the limit between a normal move action and a double move. The game shows you'll be able to attack, but then you're just one pixel too far away and your attack just gets skipped. You can't even use it for something else, like cast a spell. There are also some other small things, that wouldn't matter by themselves, but when something small happens all the time, it starts to get annoying.
