Update from second play session: another thing it drips with is the blood, sweat, and tears of your character early on if melee combat is not your thing. I'm playing my usual (fireball-spec'ed mage) and even with party members after the magic missile fails to drop them welp ouch.

15 combat defeats in random and early story encounters later, I've made little progress in last two hours and am having fond memories of how ridiculous classic D&D was to magic users until they hit level 5, got fireball, and started to be able to burn down tribes of ogres solo.

Ask me about the total party kill due to an inanimate non-magical bush and repeated failed Lore: Nature rolls (despite a +8 bonus to it on my PC) by everyone... on a level 1 fetch quest. They, uh, they do not seek to make things easy.

Or the, lets say, iconic D&D monster they sprang on my party of four level 2 characters, which had me wracking my brains because I could remember all their stats from AD&D 2nd edition and was pretty sure that it would have been challenging for four level 7 characters.

You have two children and a full time job, yes? Video games? HOW.

To steal a line from Peldi about how to bootstrap while having kids: if you [work] while they sleep they don't know that you're ignoring them. ;)

Unfortunately the game appears essentially unplayable on a mac.

Really? Have been playing it on a MBP; dialed down the resolution a bit and it runs fine, although I get graphical glitches sometimes.

The genre is in a renissance. May I also recommend Divinity: Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity.
