An absolute treat. World feels alive, quests and consequences are engaging and carry weight, and the customization is deep without being overwhelming. Some of the deaths can be sudden and a bit unfair, but it's part of the charm of this game. Highly recommended.

GD felt more restrictive if you didn't have some kind of meta build...
