I had already heard that G3 was a bit of a decline compared to earlier titles but I never expected this, especially after reading a lot of threads here praising some aspects of the game.
The world is huge but feels empty and not handcrafted like the previous titles. Walking through the large distances sucks. The chest system feels unrewarding and loot so far sucks. Towns are filled with generic look-alike NPCs with nothing interesting to say.
The story so far is non-existent. I walk from town to town doing the same things: Meet the local rebel camp, do some fetch quests for the orcs, fight in the arena, find the spy, liberate town. Rinse and repeat. Even the king didn't have anything interesting to say. I am starting to wonder if I missed triggering a main quest other than "Find Xardas"
Combat is a click-fest. I only smash the left mouse button and slaughter armies of orcs. I still use the very first sword the game gave me. Initially I was afraid when I met things like shadowbeasts in the wild, but nvm I can just stun lock them and beat them to death. I also just bought my paladin armor which is the best I can get in the entire game and I haven't even finished Myrtana yet.
Orcs don't care I'm dressed as a rebel, I enter people's homes and steal everything without a problem, and while using glitches to cheese enemies was always a guilty pleasure of mine, this games takes it to another level. And I don't even care about the shitty performance of the game and the constant fps drops.
The game still has some of that gothic feel that draws me in, but the more I play the more I feel like it should have ended hours ago and I still haven't visited the desert and nordmar. I really hope something more interesting happens later but I am starting to fear there are only more desert and mountain towns waiting for me down the line.
