Developers gone way too far with "unforgiving" and crossed line with "tedious and punishing", when everything freaking jump scare at you and you have absolutely no means to defend yourself, this is not any fun.

Bandits that see you off screen and have double your speed?
Crazy encounters when you are massively outnumbered?
Character builder that lack tool tips and do not explain what do what and you can't ever build your character without external tools?
Excessive randomness?
Absolutely crazy bad quests and rewards?

At very same time, after you did certain things and picked certain companions all difficulty is gone, you just run around stun locking everything to death with little to no effort.

Has your opinion changed since you wrote this review? I noticed you've put in quite a few hours since then, but this review is after the last content patch that they released, so I don't think the nature of the game has changed. Considering picking it up, and always find critical reviews more helpful.
