I will try to upload my full challenge mode run on unfair until i fail doing so (maybe reset runs too via trial and error, i'm not so sure, yet). In my past i finished Pathfinder Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous on Core so i got some insights how the system works. Combat speed bar is set around the middle and i play mostly on turn-based mode. Battle restarts are normal in those kind of games (especially in hard/unfair mode) because everything is decided by a dice. Alot of savings between battles and often to be stucked behind a simple encounter or skillcheck has to be asumed alot. For experience and gold purposes i will explore alot after act 2 while also stick to a more efficient gameplay. Playing this game on the PS5 feels more fluid than playing it on the PS4. Don't stress too much if you encounter bugs or the game develops in a way you don't thought it would. That's the charm of crpgs. Just go with the flow then and make the best out of it, or simply do a reload.

Strategy/Thoughts/Goals/Achievements/Tips:
I'm trying to go the lawful good route while efficiently playing and abusing some mechanics.
- No ressurecting after rest
- Atheltics/Mobility checks only with main char and only party xp (also no full team) for massive xp boosts. (only in act1)
- Zero skill points means not even a success with a clean 20 roll.
(sometimes even same needed roll fails)
- Xp sharing on before hiring main companions
- Chapter 2 and onwards after jubilost hiring i have everything enabled until big single skill xp boosts later on
- At around 2h playtime i get crashes / forced video ending regularly
- Varnhold's lot DLC on unfair is even more difficult than the normal game on unfair
- Varnhold's lot DLC gives some useful stuff and hidden story for the main game which is nice
- Bugs i encountered: Jaethal companion is stucked in sycamore so no quests from her, Harrim doesn't talk to me anymore because i let him with technic league in act 1, Crawl bug at bandit camp with 1 str, black map (restart helped)
- Savefiles are getting overloaded, giving me alot of save fail attempts and polluting storage space
(60mb+ each saveslot is alot)
- Romancing: Tristian
- Route: Surtova
- Buffing up takes 2-3minutes in each area atleast

Kingdom management:
Build bulletin boards and some starter +skill buildings. Claim regions as fast as possible and get artisan/quest/buildings by visit their cities. Have some BP stocked up and strategize your time well. Also have your companions mostly as advisors and build your cities around chokepoints of interest aswell as near rivers. Magic circles for insta port between cities is a good strategy later on.

My Planbuilds for this run:
- My main char will be a female Aasimar melee sorceress on lawful good alignment. *
(check first uploadpart for specifics)
- Valerie as a bard/tank *
- Sylvan sorc mercenary *
- Harrim as a guidance/perception bot
- Tristian as a cleric
- Jubilost as an alchemist *
- Ekundayo as a Ranger
- Erastil Cleric mercenary *
- Trip Vivisionist mercenary *
the rest mostly not used as of yet

* will be used in our current roster

...
the more companions join the more i update their builds and status here
