Wait for a discount
There are some aspects of this game that I really like and would love to see in more open world RPGs. First and foremost, of course, how you can scale large enemies to attack weak points. Another cool thing is that you can walk across the roofs of the cities. Or that you can have up to three pawns (as opposed to at most 2 companions in Bethesda games). That you can easily switch classes (or vocations as they're called here) is also nice. Other aspects of this game, however, are mediocre at best and downright terrible at worst. The open world itself is passable, but with no mounts, limited fast travel, limited stamina, and frequently respawning mobs, traversal of the world is a chore more than anything else. Even more so since there is a lot of backtracking. Story and side quests and the writing in general are mostly meh, except for the terrible, cringe-inducing Aelinore questline (that you're better off ignoring completely). The very first quest in that questline [i]should[/i] make the arisen an outlaw in Gran Soren for the rest of the game, but apparently the duke magically forgets all about it once the quest is finished. Board quests are the worst kind of fetch quests and escort missions. Yet you're kind of forced to do at least some of the escort missions, because those build your relationship with NPCs. The quest design in general is bad. There are some side quests that provide relevant lore, but become unavailable if the player finishes [i]Lure of the Abyss[/i] before finishing certain other quests. Crafting is passable, but the amount of curatives and crafting materials is insane. Loot is plentiful, but lackluster. There's also the problem that you have only a single save. Bottom line: the game is absolutely worth a try if you like open world RPGs. But I definitely recommend waiting for a discount, and playing with mods that fix the stamina and savegame issues.
