A very uniquely janky RPG and that jankiness + unique pawn system is just what makes it good. There are so many random events and things happening that you are guaranteed to have a pretty unique playthrough. Plus they made exploration feel really rewarding and fun, it feels very fresh compared to most other RPGs since you just don't know what you are going to get next. Haven't really had that feeling since some older Bethesda games. And the way NPCs behave and talk is almost straight out of TES Oblivion sometimes with their ladder obsessions and whatnot. Besides that, combat is pretty good (big fan of climbing enemies / physics interactions) and I'm enjoying trying out different vocations. The character creator is also extremely good and it's a lot of fun seeing people's creations as party members and also taking care of your own (big part of the game experience is pretty much just that).

Game performance has been pretty alright for me, I have a beastly laptop that SHOULD run the game well (i9 13980HX + 32 GB + Nvidia 4090 RTX 16 GB) and it does; getting about 70-85 fps in the wilderness at 4K max settings with quality DLSS, but it could still be optimized better. There's lots of random one second drops in towns and busy places and sometimes the game can bug out and cap GPU utilization at 50% for some reason. So that can definitely be improved. Not a fan of selling gameplay affecting MTX either but at least you can gain ingame currency fairly fast for the cosmetics at least.
