Game starts off slow, but as you progress and become more invested in the world, the stories become more interesting, even if the gameplay peaked 1-2 dozen hours in. The base story is satisfying to a degree, but the sidequest stories are the big selling point IMO. And then, you start either one of the DLC, and that's when you're really hooked, and ultimately wish you had more time with them despite the several dozen additional hours you've just racked up.

TL;DR: Gameplay okay, story amazing. Worth the buy, and definitely worth the GOTY title.
