This is how an rpg should be today. They put together an intresting story filled with meaningful choices, the right amount of secondary quests that are just as intresting as the main quests (so to be clear, they aren't fetch quests) to make a nice rpg, and then they blended it together with a souls like combat (the companions system also kinda work like it does in souls like games, but it's actually meaningful and there are also stuff like companions quests, romance and so on. So, to put it simply, it's how it's supposed to be in an rpg). All this stuff together make this game what an rpg is supposed to be. Honestly, don't trust who says that the game is bad, imo they don't know what an rpg is supposed to be. To be clear, it's not that this game is perfect, but it's a great rpg nontheless. What I mean is that this game is focused on the story with its multiple choices (it's an rpg indeed) and that's what it does. So yes, the combat isn't as good as a proper action game, but that's not the point of this game in the fist place. Same thing goes for the story btw. It's not the story itself that make this game good, it's the choices that you have both in the dialogues and outside of them (for example you're free to attack someone, sneak into his house without getting cought, bribe him or whatever). And yes, they reused a lot of assets, but I mean, this is a AA game, and at the end of the day, who cares? The game is great even though the cities look the same. So yes this is how an rpg is supposed to be today, I agree with who says that this feels like if the golden age bioware made an rpg today.
One of the best rpg I played
