We played the game a lot and the two biggest flaws of the game that my group noticed are:1. Rolling defense dice as it is to much random factor that most of the time it makes the game very unbalanced (permanent damage reduction would be better..for example brown die = 1 DR, grey die = 2 DR, black die = 3 DR)
2. Reinforcing the monsters every turn so weaker monsters or monsters which are not 1 minion/1 master are never chosen by Overlord (maybe threat tokens, as in first edition, for reinforcement and threat points values for the monsters would be better so bigger monsters would be harder to reinforce every turn)
3. Most of the quests are almost impossible for the heroes to win (because of the objectives unless you have an OL who is not a complete moron or you roll dice like there is no tomorrow
).Just to mention we are experienced players that have played board games (mostly strategic) for 15 years and are not just casual players.
I think that guys from Fantasy flight games didn't play-test much this game because this things would have been fixed.
