Good so far.

Major QoL improvements from the first game.
No Major, Bugs, or crashes. Had 1 long loading black screen(was spamming space. I induced it I believe.)
Voice lines(actors, emotion, adaptive reactions, etc.) have been amazing.
Combat changes are pleasant

Do your duty brother.

Thoughts:
Enjoyable Experience so far. Combat is fluid, mechanics feel smooth - Nailing the vision that DD1 was trying to achieve. Audio sounds fantastic and the world is enjoyable to look at, multiple times I have stopped to just look around and take in the lighting.

Specs/Performance:
140 FPS(Open world) (60fps in city) - 2k(1440p), Max settings, HDR, Ray tracing
3080, Ryzen 9 3900x, 32gb 3200hz, m.2 nvme, windows 11

Cons/Gripes:
A heavy reliance on the circle(b) button. When trying to loot and I start dashing or talking to someone and have to fight the camera angle a bit.

Common Complaints I am seeing on reviews but disagree(Not entirely. Some valid points are raised):

-Micro transactions: All the items they are selling on the steam page DLC, you can buy in game with earned currency. Also DD1 (Arisen) had the same type of micro transactions.

So no the game is not pay to win, also its single player who are you trying to win against? Just sit back and enjoy the story. Play the game and explore, you accumulate the currency fine and can buy the character edit book, you can also re-spec your vocation when ever.

-Warps/Fast travel: The map was handcrafted. “Travel is boring? That's not true. It's only an issue because your game is boring.” - Director of the game when talking about the design around having characters run around instead of magically teleport. There still exists ox carts for major town transport and warp stones in game should you feel the need to rush and skip exploring.

-One save: It is confirmed there is new game+ content. You can also re-spec (vocation) yourself and your pawn when ever at a inn. But I do suppose if you wanted to have multiple saves at once or fully start over, fair thing to be annoyed about.

-Fov slider: There is one, it's not called FOV its camera something. Doesn't allow crazy zoom out but makes a difference

-Crashes: I have yet to crash at all. Nor am I experiencing stuttering. But I have a higher end machine and am seeing plenty of people complain about crashes and stutters. Trolls or not? Don't know but I would believe it considering my fps is not perfectly stable. I don't stutter but it fluctuates between 100-160, sitting at 140 mostly.

Super fun game. Game play is fun if your into ww1, Graphics look amazing and map design is unique.

Perfection

You can turn radios on and flush toilets. Best Game of 2022.

Fantastic game with a fantastic developer and community.

Been waiting on this game for ever! Thanks for the 20% off. Game feels super smooth and nice.

Edit: 30 hours in - Game is great
