This is as good as RPG mechanics get!
This game provides the ultimate roleplaying experience in videogames. The game gives you freedom to solve things and get through battles in a wide array of ways. Mechanics-wise, this is as good as an RPG gets. Combat can be challenging and punishing but rarely feels unfair; it just takes a bit of preparation and proper strategizing. I have to say I gave up on the original D:OS due to the story getting a bit goofy for my taste and not that well written. D:OS2 learned from its predecessor's misgivings and delivers a great and darker story with incredible writing, not to mention top tier voice acting. Did I mention the game's dialogs are fully voiced? This is not normal por a cRPG, but Larian somehow managed it. I really liked how the game's main quests tie up to personal/companion quests. This game has some top notch design. I cannot recommend enough that you roleplay your way through this and not resort to a reload fest when you screw up (unless you're stuck), and instead try to fix your mistakes and accept the outcomes of your actions. Character creation allows you to either create a character from zero or choose and personalize one of the available pre-scripted characters. I recommend doing the latter, as it adds cool personal quests. In any case, whichever characters you do not play as are available as companions. As to bugs, I only ran into one which ruined my fun while it lasted, but hopefully it's been already patched. Once I got through that bit, I was back to getting immersed in this experience.
