I played this at PaizoCon, and it's just...five potential combats, a brief stealth section, a super-duper-MAJORLY-complex research section, AND a chase?! We were near the end of the scenario when we ran out of time, only for us to learn that there was ANOTHER combat AND a chase that we just skipped?!
Paizo! Seriously! Stop putting so much stuff into these scenarios!
The story is fascinating, and I loved hearing about the implications for the future of the lore. But all of that was dragged down when we were just stuck pulling our hair out because we STILL WEREN'T DONE!
If we weren't even able to finish this in an official convention directly sponsored by Paizo, then there is something fundamentally wrong with how the scenarios are written. And this was a problem 2 years ago as well!
As a GM that has run 12-15 scenarios, I can say that some of the enemy tactics are bordering on the complicated tactics of those scenarios. That combined with player choices that not only punish players but tells them to bend over just completely ruins the experience.
