I don't know... Many of your complaints seem like small things that's easy to work with, but if it's nagging you, you shouldn't expect things to get much better. Personally I had difficulties wrapping my head around the fact that I couldn't go all mental on enemies, and I was finding myself having to run and retry a lot of encounters in the start. Eventually I had peace with the fact that it's suppose to be a hostile world, and a grand one at that, and being cautious and strategic is somewhat warranted. I don't know what to tell you, but man... It's been my favorite experience all year, so it's truly a shame we can't share the enthusiasm for the game :/ I hope it turns around for you, but if it doesn't, I'm happy you got Odyssey, because that game is also amazing! Hopefully you'll enjoy that!
