Is elemental fun yet?

from Elemental Forums

I pre-ordered the game a full year in advance when i heard if was the spiritual successor to Master of magic, my favorite game of all time.

 

I played it the 1st night it was available for download when the street date was broken.  My reaction was "what is this is crap? WTF Stardock?"

 

Being a big supporter of the company, I knew they would be passionate about the user input and they would get to fix it up soon.

 

I played about 2 months ago, I assumed that all the bugs/issues had been addressed.  I played as the "evil" race, built my workshop and other buildings I was allowed, but I couldn't gain prestige and I was never able to build a single unit.  I still had a felling of "What the hell am I supposed to be doing?  Why isn't this working?"  I haven't played since.

 

I admit, I have not given Element a fair shot, I want to make sure it's better before I waste my time.

 

What say you?

 

TL;DR : I tried the game a while ago, it's not fun.   Is the game fun yet?  Reply Yes/No, and comment why if you like.

I use to be on the NWN2 forums and was banned.  I had that game from day one, and after losing 3 30+ hour games to bugs and having to start over for a fourth time,  I flipped out there and made a dozen or so crazy rants...

Well, that is why I said those forums used to be sad. Like EWoM NWN2 was in a sad state when it was out and it wasn't fixed for a long while (at least 6 months). I also got stuck at a later part of the campaign and needed to start over :D

Hugest NWN2 disappointment for me was not being able to save skill points between levels. I mean come on, as a multi-class rogue I should be able to expand my skills wherever I choose. Why limit skills to each class? Seems to defeat the whole purpose of multi-class. I ended up tossing the disc I was so upset.

How many "Is Elemental fun yet" threads do we really need?  

 

If you haven't found it fun yet, then you probably never will.

ok i need to quote this comment becuase no the game is not fun yet. i want to cite that really all the patches to this point has really been about game mechanics, memory, ai and things of this nature. there has yet to be any patch that really injects the game with fun factor. i do think the game is moving foward and i have confidence in derek to deliver for FE.
