I guess some might be fine with this, but it feels very against the spirit of the game, as it essentially means if you're willing to grind enough you can completely remove all the negative aspects of your strongest heroes, and never have to make compromises. For example you can essentially force weeks to pass by just picking up new party members from the wagon (which are completely free to hire, and you can upgrade the wagon to bring 4 new guys a week) and sending them off to dungeons while you completely polish off your veteran heroes, removing all their stress and bad traits etc. There's also some balance issues that need to be worked out. Although right now (I could be wrong here) it feels like stress only actually has a gameplay impact once it hits 100 - and once it hits 100, your character gains a stress-related trait until he rests in town, which makes lowering it during the run feel a bit pointless. Having your tank become so stressed that he becomes abusive, thus causing his companions to get even more stressed out and become problematic in other ways (maybe your healer becomes paranoid, your assasin becomes fearful, etc etc) - on top of rare positive results of stress (eg stalwart) really makes things interesting. Gameplay itself is very interesting, definitely has a sort of old-school D&D feel with the expeditions, events, camping and the most interesting thing about the game which is the stress mechanic. Often this kind of vector graphics feels a bit sterile for me but here has a lot of charm.

Game has serious potential, the VO and writing in general is exceptional which really seperates this from some of the more generic 'roguelike-likes'.
