It's not like the repetitive gameplay of Baldur's Gate, Divinity, or Dragon Age. Here, you live your life, doing what you have to do, what you need to do, but you don't actually have to do it, and you don't need to do it. It's up to you, and I do these things because I want to, not because I have to in order to progress in the game. For me, it's a very successful game where I can empathize with the main character, and what he does in the game is like what I would do in reality. There are plenty of places where you can have fun and imagine life in that era very well. Players probably complain the most about the combat, but once you get into it, you'll find that it's not difficult at all, but very well designed. I give it two thumbs up and I'm already looking forward to playing the second part.
