I am really enjoying it so far. I'm almost finished with the second map.
So many people seem to hate it for reasons I don't quite understand. I also really liked Outer Worlds, though.
I'm enjoying the story, the characters, the inventory system - everything everyone else seems to hate. I really don't understand why other people say the world feels dead. I guess I enjoy not having to run around to find NPCs who are always on the move? (Looking at you, Skyrim.)
Sure, most weapons in the game are exactly the same. But that makes the "unique" ones so much more interesting. I like that I can upgrade those unique weapons, so that they always stay useful. No more quest rewards that are already underleveled when I receive them! (Looking at you, Skyrim.)
I saw someone in this thread say they missed the "stolen item" mechanic. I'll tell you what I don't miss: becoming a wanted man because I took some food off a table in a common area or accidentally clicked and took one of the thousands of items lying around that are lootable.
I'm enjoying the Balder's Gate 3 camping system, but I'm glad you don't need to "spend" food for every night in camp.
My only "problem" is that it feels a little unoptimized. I get low frame rates sometimes that don't go away even at the lowest settings, especially inside cities. But, it's relatively minor. I can (and do) live with it.
It feels like a full game with no glitches on release, which is nice.
Although, if your glass textures all look frosted and weird, then turn "global Illumination" up to at least medium.
