It seems everyone has forgotten just what an EARLY RELEASE is!! Bugs, balancing issues, blanks needing to be filled; that is all to be expected from a small Turkey based company with a limited budget. and no, they have NOT been working on it for 8 years. It was initially ANNOUNCED but work didn't actually start until 2017. Taleworld's is a very small operation and now because of this release they can fill in all the gaps you guys are complaining about and really flesh out the system. The backbone to the game is very strong and promising, now they and the mod community can really build on it.
