Not really. It takes very long to charge and the most useful reward (a skillpoint for everyone) is only available at 100%, so most of the other bonuses are rendered irrelevant. You can find orbs scattered around the gameworld that give a +20% to the charge but they're usually in less accessible or hidden locations so it gives an incentive to explore hidden nooks, secret areas and even hostile places like Geldra or Pernitia.
The most cheaty feature though is that it gives advance warning regarding when the cursed hounds will strike.
you know what time it is

Liking the game so far, though surprisingly it puts a lot of pressure on my GPU, more so than any AAA title i'v played recently, considering how it looks and works its a little odd.
Yes, the game is strangely heavy, much more than it should be. Does anyone know which engine they're using?
I'm really enjoying the game, even if I have to recognize that it has certain peculiarities. I really like the exploration, but I miss good items hidden around the map. More than 90% of your equipment will always come from vendors, what you find in the scenery only serves as a source of income. I don't like when the opposite happens but there could be a middle ground here - some good hidden items, others you need to purchase. The way the game works, exploration serves only as a source of XP. (And those herbs that increase attributes, of course.)
The plot is funny, almost cartoonish. In a moment you have an "ethical debate" with a character about your/their actions, only for in the next moment, all city residents cheer about you as the best thing since the invention of pizza. There is no feeling of weight in the story at all and, after those first moments, every time some pseudo-ethical exposure appears, I cannot take it seriously anymore. What isn't exactly a defect, you see, it reminds me of the story of old games and it amuses me. It's just funny, it looks as if the game wanted to have a more serious tone but failed miserably in the attempt.
Also, a new name for this game could be "Status Effects: The Game". Seriously. This is the basis of every combat, cause the maximum negative effects on enemies and keep your group with the least of these. In addition, holy shit, the classes are really unbalanced. I am not in favor of the design where "everyone are equally useful in equal proportion to every thing"(TM), but... A little more balance would be nice. I had to restart the game when I realized that my first group was becoming basically unworkable.
In short ... I approve. The game has some small problems, but it has been a long time since I spent so much time playing a game. (I spent 12 hours of my holiday playing nonstop.) If this will really be a trilogy, no doubt about it, I will buy the next games.

Bros, in the first town
Halp!
(Velegarn) there's a quest about searching for a dude that was missing in a rat (and spider) infested cave. I finished the quest, the dude is dead and I retrieved his ring. Now I need to find Azalia of Velegarn. But she's nowere to be found in that town.

But then be sure to level the healing summon.
Clerics are for pussies.
Also, the writing in this game is absolute and utter garbage. It's good that I don't give a shit or I'd prob be legit bothered

That party will be fine (on normal).
You would have a much more "FUN" time with Gaulen(fighter), Pally,Thief,Bard,Mage and Cleric (IMHO). But play what you want to play.

His real strength are non-combat skills - herb knowledge, hunting etc.
Okay this game is pretty fucking bad. Time to uninstall.
If I wanted to play a railroaded random-encounter-splatting simulator I'd play King's Bounty, and I wouldn't play King's Bounty because King's Bounty is fucking shit exactly for the same reasons as this game.

You could've figured that out from 3 minutes with youtube, but yes, I agree.

Guess you should have picked that cleric after all 
The random encounters are all optional.... 
But if you can't take the heat....
But if you can't take the heat....
"The heat" aka smashing through identical mobs of goblins, which is then replaced by smashing through identical mobs of rats, which finally morphs into smashing through identical mobs of myconids, all the while avoiding very conveniently placed roadblocks of "impossible"-difficulty encounters, in a combat engine that is mind-numbingly boring and taking up tons of time.
And then finally running into an unavoidable plot-related random encounter with a hp-bloated kveldulf that instagibs any non-beefy character each turn with an unavoidable, all-reaching lightning bolt.
Yeah, thanks but no thanks.
