Can't deal with the complexity of linux for simple things but I do think it's far superior, just not for me. So yeah I should have said vs other windows

Really depends on what you don't like about DnD.

Not a fan of the prep work? Everything you need to know is written in game, no research necessary.

Not a fan of the mechanics? They're still here, but feels pretty streamlined/approachable. The most DnD thing here I'd say is...rolling? I don't see a lot of games where you roll dice for a chance at success. If you don't like that mechanic there's some stuff in game to make it easier to succeed at the things you care about and if that's not enough you can always quicksave/quickload and retry.

Not a fan of the tabletop nature of DnD? Well this is a video game that feels like...a video game.

Not a fan of the role-playing aspect? I'm not sure you'd like it then. It's definitely a story driven game not a hack n slash.

Not a fan of the setting/races/lore? Yeah don't play.

So you could potentially still like the game, but it really depends.

I guess I was asking broadly because last I heard anything about it was shortly after release when there was so many missing compatibilities, lots of things broken and unfinished, and everyone was hands down saying don't touch it with a ten foot pole. It sounds like it has gotten a little better, enough for some people to be fine with it, but by the majority of the replies it sounds like it still isn't "done" or is never going to be. All your information was helpful and I haven't read elsewhere so thanks!

The coolest thing I've seen all year, if only someone makes a digital/emulated version of this I'd be set for life. FFCC is an absolute stellar game that really needs a proper remake and more love

Ah damn, if there's still a good chunk of games unsupported, its definitely not there yet

I spent about 15 hours on this already, and luckily for me, I only ran into one major bug (froze but thankfully game autosaved a lot) and one light one (two enemies in one spot). We played online two people with two characters each and it was fun and worked great, we only controlled our own characters. Sounds like maybe it's more optimized for online than couch co-op, but who wants to buy two copies of the game if you don't have to?

Music is improved, couldn't play a lot of the first one because it kept making my partner pass out, too sleepy vibe. No issues like that here, soundtrack is nice.

I suppose it is really similar to the first, except the new taller models and stuff. The dead heroes thing seems new to and possibly neat, but I could be wrong. I see it more as a story sequel than a game sequel currently. I was happy buying it early, but for others, I'd probably recommend getting it on more of a sale.

I've been having major issues with my 4k monitor so that's great to know.
