So, after 180 hours, I finally finished WOTR. It was a wonderful ride, although I won't lie that I was a bit fatigued at the end. I played 99% of the game in turn-based mode on Core difficulty but switched to real-time Normal after the last fight in Threshold. My FPS in that fight was abysmal, hovering at 30 with constant drops to 8 FPS (!) when there were AOE spells on screens (on Ryzen 2600X and RTX 3060 Ti).
It was the straw that broke the camel back after the FPS sh*tshow that was Act 4. I just couldn't handle it anymore + the fight itself is so badly designed, so I switched to real-time and lowered the difficulty.
So, for the love of all that is holy and unholy, dear Owlcat Games, plsease change your engine for your next game!!! There are few areas in the game when it runs at beautiful 70-80 FPS with zero drops, and it's glorious how good it plays in those moments.
Also, turned out that I became renegade Aeon and couldn't make the true Aeon ending. :( Shame, since I remember that in Act 3, after I switched alignment to Lawful, I was specifically told that now I can render judgment how I see fit. Well, seems it wasn't true :( Anyway, great game, but it got a bit bittersweet for me at the end.
