The good: Quests arent too repetative Kingdom building is fun Character creation is very deep (too deep for me personally but still a plus) The world building is deep Overall story is interesting The bad: so much save scumming... with some bad rolls you can be doomed pretty early. I have never save/reloaded so much in a game before. Doesn't do a great job of explaining what is going on and punishes you badly if you make a mistake Companions are kind of bad... This could be just personal opinion but I dont actually like any of my companions. This game wastes your time, a lot. There is a lot of time spent entering exiting travelling. Reloading because you forgot something... Yes you could just deal with the mistake but it could end up in a game over after many more hours of play. No middle ground in battles. On normal, the battles seem to either be quite easy or impossibly hard. I would give this game a higher rating but it has way too many annoying aspects for me to give it a 4/5
