Let me preface this by saying,
This is one of the best games I've ever played.

Now, that is not to say that this is the best game ever. Based solely on my tastes (Mount and Blade, Elder Scrolls, other such games), this is the game made for me, right?
It is, but not just for me, I'm certain that this is a game everyone can enjoy, and I'd like to list the reasons why.

Pros:
-Amazing Graphics
-Deep and Interesting Character Design
-NPCs that I actually managed to care about
-Beautiful voice acting
-Wonderful Directional Swordplay that feels oh-so natural.
-The soundtrack will get stuck in your head, and deeply immerse you into the game, always making you think about it when you're not playing it.
-Deep dialogue mechanics (Intimidation, Persuasion, Charm, Bribing)
-A levelling mechanic that works perfectly
-One that doesn't require you to pay attention to it, but is very helpful
-Energy, Nourishment, Comfort system that has its perks and gameplay importance.
-A very interesting and detailed story, leaving much for the player to learn.
-Little things taken into account
-People will notice if your clothes have blood
-People will get nervous if your weapon is drawn
-People will yell at you if you bump into them
-You can get arrested for going into the wrong place
-THE SYSTEM RECS ARE VERY LOW
-This is the most important one for me, as I feared that I would not be able to play it.
-I have an Intel I5 quad core processor @ 3.5 gHz, and eight gigabytes of RAM to use. I avereaged about a 35 with a few drops here and there for dialogue.

Neutrals:
-You feel very underpowered at the beginning, which is both a blessing and a curse to add to the dynamic of the game.

Cons:
-The intro is a bit more difficult and tedious than it needs to be
-The game has a few bugs and glitches that require a restart.
-Saviour Schnapps is my biggest complaint of the entire franchise.
-A mechanic that forces you to find an alcoholic beverage in order to save the game.

Now, overall, I think this game is amazing. The mechanics are so great, and I love them so much. Just a few hours in and I could already tell that this game was one of those that I'd just play on end for months. There are few complaints that I have, and most of them can be remedied or reasoned with rationally. In the end, this is a great game, especially after a year of flops and dissapointments. This game is no 'No Man's Sky'. It is obviously a work of labour and love, and the developers have put a lot of time and effort into the game, hand-crafting a unique and fun experience for everyone who picks up this game.

I highly urge you that, even with its high pricetag, please, please pick up this game. It is worthy of every cent it costs you.
Final score:
9.6/10
