Story

But, none of that should be very concerning, It has an excellent Story campaign and amazing characters with even more amazing development of their personalities and the Rules are fun to understand and build your main character around (just dont play it on Unfair ) .

While the game itself has cool mechanics, overall interesting story and characters, it suffers from bugs and crashes that I didn't seem to be able to fix.

As for Kingmaker itself, the main things on offer is the deep character customization and story, alongside the combat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm running a heavily modded version of the game with HD graphics mods and middle-range graphics settings and still getting a solid 75-90fps in most places.
