This is an excellent game! I haven't had this much fun in a game for a very long time!
The story, while fairly straightforward, works really well and isn't overly dark like some other medieval RPGs. The combat system is alright, and isn't just simple button mashing. There are lots of things to discover too!

One thing to note is that the game is pretty glitchy, and often has a bad frame rate. If you played skyrim its nothing new though.
I didn't experience many game breaking bugs in my playthrough, but I heard others did. Mine were mainly getting stuck in obstacles and doors, or NPCs not registering me performing a task(which was fixed by reloading my save).

Also, the lockpicking and pickpocket minigames are pretty much very poorly designed and frustrating. And if you want to play the "bad guy" and steal stuff or kill some NPCs you'll find pretty quickly that the game wasn't really thought out much on that front.
The issue being that, while you can kill someone stealthily, you'll be fine until the second the corpse is seen. Then you immediately get a bounty even if you were far away and nowhere near a guard.
And well if you only so much as punch a horse, the guards will come running and cut you up.. which is kind of an over-escalation.
(I just punched a horse in skalitz at the very start, then all the guards ran at me and killed me in front of my completely passive father)

But at the end of the day, I think this is a really good game. Maybe a bit too expensive and glitchy, but a good game!
(P.S. This game has some of the best, most hilarious drunken sequences in a video game. Almost better than in the witcher 3!)
