It’s not like you can’t pause the game though.
I have the same experience so far as the OP, couple of bugs, hillarious mostly, all minor. Frame rates do range from about 45 to 105, but still playable, mind you that’s at very high settings + 1080p on an i7 skylake, 1080ti and with 16 gb dd4, so there’s clearly room for further optimisation, which is in the works according to the devs.
Either way, minor technical and optimisation issues aside, I love the game, story is cool, codex is fascinating, gameplay is really enjoyable. The game will only get better as the devs put more work in.
Things I would like to see would be a weapon/armour crafting system to match the complexity of the really deep and enjoyable alchemy system, and perhaps a deeper first aid system.
The depth and complexity of things like combat, weapon maintenence, literacy and alchemy is phenominal, I would love to see more depth in some of the other systems in the game.
A wildly ambitious project, well delivered, teething issues notwithstanding, well done Warhorse
