Oh one thing that bothered me is a lot of quest would refer to people (go to xyz) but the on map default markers for stores and stuff have building names that did not match up to the person you had to visit so this was also very annoying (as the map is large enough it was quite time consuming in some spots)

So while I have my complaints over all I think it is a very good game it is also much harder (even on non impossible) than the previous games.

Oh last but least it crash way too much on time back.

That's encouraging - thanks for the run-down. I've only played for about an hour myself, I figured there's no point starting now this close to release, but I noticed a couple of major problems.
1. No map, or rather there's no maps in the dropdown menu and the world map is all clouded over. Intentional for pre-release?
2. Ability cooldowns not working. I started as the demons and I noticed that a couple of the unit's cooldowns weren't working at all, as in I was able to use them turn after turn even though they said 'Cooldown 4' or whatever. I forget the name of the unit, but one was the new fire sprite thingy that has an area attack all around it.
EDIT: Nevermind on both counts. After yesterday's 12mb patch the cooldown problem has gone away (it was for the Fire Elemental) and I've realised that perhaps there's not supposed to be a map for the initial area, which I guess is a unique area depending on your starting class? I started as the other two classes and they have unique starting locations, which is a new idea for a KB game. But now that I've just entered the Catacombs, the map seems to be working again.
I wonder if this is pretty much complete now, as in, can I start playing, huh, huh? I even got my Clot of Darkness
