Not OP, and I've been loving the game, but it does have some jank. Pretty early in act 1 I came across a bugged quest which I couldn't complete. Couple the occasional bugs with my inexperience never playing a game like this before and a somewhat unintuitive interface/help system, and it made for a pretty clunky onboarding experience. Now that I've more got the hang of things it feels better. But I needed to look for help outside of the game to really get a handle on it.

I've never finded bugs (Just the horny npcs One) that's probably me being lucky. I do agree that without knowledge of a tabletop gdr or at least of other Classic RPG it's pretty hard do get inside the mechanics. A Better tutorial Is probabily needed but still you can inspect every Word using "T" on the keyboard and read the rules

Some of the tooltips are wrong.

Yeah, once I figured out how the inspect menu worked, I started learning much faster. I feel a little dumb regarding that. When I first tried it, I just saw that it made the tooltip stick on the screen, I didn't realize I could hover over the text for more information. So I just went "huh, that's dumb" and barely used it again until I saw someone online do it lol.

And for what it's worth, other than the quest bug, the rest of it is mostly just me feeling out the game, which I'm fine with and had fun with, just did a lot of save scumming. I've played MMOs so the interfaces and whatnot aren't completely unfamiliar, but before this game I was only vaguely aware of how tabletop RPGs work
