I really wanted to like this game, but I just can't. The main quest is interesting but way too short and the side quests are mostly uninteresting. The companion side quests are also very boring and brief, and the companions themselves are super shallow. The game is funnier than POE1, which is an improvement. They measure everything in this game. Characters are an assemblage of likes and dislikes and not even trying to approximate real people. Your relationship with every character and group is quantified and displayed to you, it is very boring. Dialogue options are flagged as "pro faction 1," "pro faction 2," "compassionate" although you can't see these flags. The whole game just feels very generic and souless. As for technical issues, I can run Skyrim at 60fps but this game is very laggy.
Pros: - Interesting and likeable characters. - I enjoyed the levelling system, it's similar to Skyrim's levelling system. - You have a huge amount of choice in what actions you take in game and have various justifications for those actions which change the meaning of doing the action. - The history of the setting is detailed. - Very replayable. - I enjoyed the story. Cons: - Not enough interaction between your companions. - The areas felt claustrophobic because they were so small. - The soundtrack was boring.
