So many things in this game are broken
So first time i played the game, i never paid any attention to what my skills, runes, potions and other stuff gave me. I never checked the stats and just played for the sake of the story(which is awesome
). BUT during my second playthrough on a higher difficulty i started to notice that more than half the stuff in this game doesn't work at all or is broken as sh*t. Like the Chort decoction which is supposed to negate the stagger effect, but in reality it does nothing! i keep getting staggered from every drowner hit. Then there is the cat school skill, which only gives you the bonus damage, but not the crit damage. There are also runes: i have a stun rune on my sword(2 actually) so i have a 10% chance to stun my enemies right? wrong, because i've been playing for ~3 hours with that 10% chance to stun and not a single enemy i met was stunned(i met all kinds of enemies: trolls, drowners, wolves, devourers, sirens, harpies etc). There are also many other skills and upgrades which improve stats in the stats screen, but in combat there is no difference at all.
The 1.05 patch was great, it got rid of all the major problems, and i'm grateful for that, but there are just so many small things that pile up and make the game nearly impossible to play on higher difficulties.
The game is amazing, i'd say the best game i've ever played in terms of story, characters, quests, open world exploration and all that stuff, but gameplay-wise it is atrocious. Because of these bugs i have to avoid not only the many useless skills( like the tier 4 skill, that increases the time your decoctions work. WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT THAT? they already last for half an hour) but also the broken ones, leaving me with only a couple of options and absolutely no variety in builds.
