The plot, the characters, the set pieces and all that: Top tier. Absolutely amazing.
The technical aspects: The only games I know of with similar levels of bugs and issues are Bethesda's RPGs. I can't take 5 steps without encountering some small, but annoying issue.
I was cautious about the game because while it was in EA I heard absolutely no good things about it, and they seem to have been legitimate critiques. The story, writing and all that is great, but the technical issues are far from ignorable. It really could use more polish.
But I mean, I'm still playing it, same as a Bethesda RPG. And actually liking it more because it's way better written and the characters are fun to hang out with.
Kinda true about the bugs, unfortunately though no longer reserved for Bethesda games. Played d4 a few days after launch and damn we encountered bugs left and right.
At least no forced online so restarting and or reloading is pretty easy. I'm kinda fine with annoying but not game breaking bugs on such a solid base.
