Meh, started it 3 times, first time I managed to Deep Roads, last time I stopped right after the Mage Origin story. All places are tiny, even the Capitol feels like a minor settlement. Almost every character is pure cringe when you talk to them, affection system gets completely undermined by gifts, story is banal boring shit, very few choices have meaningful consequences. What irked me most is that you can become a Blood Mage and no one gives a fuck, not even Lynne or whatever that old lady Mage's name was, even though the Mage origin is all about how dangerous blood magic is. Combat was piss easy, I beat Flemeth on first try, on nightmare difficulty.
