It's not my favourite gameplay too. It would be ok if the quest log wasn't so buggy.This is ridiculous. I think i will no longer play this game. You have to do things at a certain time with certain inventory items that you don't know. I guess i try my luck with roulette or something - the chances to trigger an event are higher there.
I mean: if the quest log tips were understandable and accurate, it would be easier to cope with the "roulette" mechanism.
Unfortunately many times something is not removed from the quest log even if that task is accomplished (and cannot be repeated, so the buggy hitn will stay there forever...), or the hint is vague, like "see how things play around" (basically you have to wait some unkonwn time lap... and it's a boring way to crookedly increase play time).
But I keep playing it for the very good renders and the character evolution which are way hot.
