Overall, the game is pretty good, probably 4/5. The problem comes from systems that simply don't work the way they should. For instance, while messing around I tried to see if I could stealthily kill everyone in Skalitz. After taking out several people without getting a bounty, I was seen and got a bounty, so I reloaded...and my last save from awhile before also had a bounty but it didn't when I had saved. I tried the unlimited saves mod to spam saves along the way and see what was going on, sometimes I could go back half a dozen saves or even all of the allowed saves and would still have a bounty added, in spite of not having one when the save was made. Something is off in how corpses and proximity to them and sightlines all play together on game load. What's more, even in just the starting area there are broken quests. I can't attempt the one where you throw crap at the house in the tutorial because as soon as the wife walks off, the game saves, and then it locks in the next loading screen. This essentially bricks my entire playthrough to that point (which is only the tutorial, but still). This is just a couple examples of my experience with the game. I haven't made it far, only reaching Rattay and dabbling a bit, but the more I play and don't experience a buggy mess, the more the game just seems needlessly obtuse for the sake of being obtuse. In the game's current state, I recommend it only to sadists. If the bugs and such get fixed (even if just by the modding community), then it could be a good game for the most obsessive/hardcore crowd. Outside of that, I can't recommend this game to anyone.
