Me after the first 25 hours: Wow, this game is trash
Me after 140 hours: Haha fivefold flurry blast arrows go brrr

No but seriously the game is pretty good, gave it a negative review at first, but I take it back.

• First 20-30 hours are horrible then it gets good, once you have skills and gear the combat is fun
  
• Enemy and Boss design is cool and every single one has weakness you can exploit
  
• Actions actually have consequences when it comes to most quests and NPCs
  
• Atmosphere feels great, game looks pretty decent with some texture mods and ENB too
  
• DLC basically turns the game from a open world RPG into a dungeon crawler
  
• Story is meh
  
• OoC stamina consumption for running and weight limit is meh (seriously just mod it, it gets annoying fast)
  
• AI is horrible for the most part, my pawns also keep jumping of cliffs and drowing themselves for no reason (they might be mad because I keep letting them carry all my blast arrows tho)
  
• UI is awful console port UI, I swear I spent like 5 hours of playtime just navigating the menu and using items which you can't put on hotkeys (which is a lot of them).

Still very much recommend this game, but only if you can handle the terrible first few hours and some absolute jankyness. Also play Strider, it's most fun class and let no one tell you otherwise.
