Great setting with so-so combat and NPCs/dialogue. But what really brought it down were the bugs. Gave up after running into a bug that locks you out of quests and faction rep. It's well known and easily triggered by starting a quest before turning in another yet remains unpatched, probably because they focused on making the even buggier remaster just a few years later.
This has been a hidden gem! Just finished playing the first area and I'm really impressed with the mechanics, story, graphics and dialog. No bugs yet, either! If you like open world RPGs with a story, I think you will like this!
Game is pretty fun and I enjoy the way it plays! There's a few hiccups, challenges with learning the play styles, and it certainly feels like it's wanting to be some of the bigger action-adventure games out there with it's own tweaks and less overhaul, but all-in-all it's a good game and enjoyable :)
