I couldn't have asked for a better game from Warhorse Studios. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in this game is superb. The writing, the characters, the story, the combat, the alchemy, the blacksmithing, the crime, its all so f***ing well done. The fact that theres even a perk in the drinking skill that lets you use your drunkeness as an excuse for breaking the law is stellar. Are there a few gripes I have here and there? Of course. The late game feels WAY too easy. There are fights I can tell are supposed to be suspensful, but then one master strike later I'm already at a cutscene. Money is also so abundant after spending just a few hours in Kuttenburg that you might as well never worry about it ever again. (Still miss the ability to give any one random trader the world's wealth like in the first game.) Those, however, are the most MINOR gripes I could have when eveything else just feels so natural and amazing.
Other than the rampant visual/audio bugs and the crash in performance in towns, this game is a 10/10. If you want this game in a stable state, wait a few months.
