The game is unplayable in its current state.
Once I figured out I wasn't going to be able to complete it due to the fuckton of bugs it has, I decided to edit my savegame, putting every stat on my lvl 1 fighter at 50.
A few loads and reloads after, I met an enemy that 2 shot me. I reloaded several times, and he kept 2 shotting me.
After a bit of reading it turns out the +stat buff which is reapplied to player characters on every load, is also applied to NPCs.
Glad I didn't invest time in that save, because 30 reloads giving a random NPC +30 to hit and +30 to damage isn't really something players can deal with.
Of course I'm going to keep playing it.

so this is an honest to goodness question. a lot of people seem to hyperbolize and say the game's completely and utterly unplayable because of bugs. i've only run into a single bug, that would crash to the main menu after entering a map and saving. but, it's would crash AFTER saving, so it just added an extra minute or so of loading. other than that it's been pretty stable for me.
part of the problem seems to be that they are putting out regular hotfixes. i mean the game has been out, what, 2 weeks and they've had 6 or 7 patches already? it's clear that as developers they want the community to know that they are committed to addressing issues quickly, but without any kind of real testing phase, fixing one issue creates another.
so here's my question. would you rather a game have frequent small patches and hotfixes (at the risk of causing more bugs) or a game where the developers have more infrequent, larger patches that address multiple issues at once (and have gone through the internal testing to reduce possibilities of creating unrelated bugs)?
i mean on one hand i completely understand how irritating it is when every other day you have a new set of problems, but the flip side is that bugs sit around for months before they get addressed.

The project ran out of funds, and they were forced to launch an incomplete product.
My hope is that this game makes enough money to allow the team to iron out all the problems with the core game. Get all the serious problems out in this one, so that they can release future Adventure Paths without these bugs.
The game is fun as hell. The developers need money and time to deliver the rest.

I'm taking a break until they fix some stuff. I was thinking about getting a refund but I think there is a good base to get started on for more Pathfinder games made on the engine.
One thing I read on the kingmaker subreddit is that the way the game is coded, it's not easy to just mod it. There aren't folders or subdirectories where you can just add spells, feats, skills, etc. Like you would in a game that's easy to mod. For content you need to use an injection DLL wrapper or something like that.
At the very worst, we will have another Temple of Elemental Evil game where there's enough patches from devs and fans to make it an enjoyable, bug free experience.
(I actually went out in the garage and got my TOEE discs out since Kingmaker gave me the itch, but isn't in any shape to satisfy right now).

Despite all the flaws of this game, I still love it. I truly hope that luke-warm reception doesn't sink this franchise. It has so much potential.
*Edit* The constant loading screens can suck a ICBM-sized dick, though.
