Barely past the starting quests and already 12 hours in... it is very easy to lose track of time in this game, the level of depth and intricacy put into this game is astounding. I would highly recommend the game to anyone looking to play a role playing game, or just a game you can dedicate lots of hours to.

The game is difficult enough to have a challenge without feeling overwhelmed all the time or like you're just blasting through enemies, the same enemies can and will make very different moves every time you retry an attack on them if you failed previously.

I've experienced a few bugs but nothing that wasn't easily fixable by teleporting away, reloading a save or just ignoring it. For how massive this game is, a few bugs here and there is completely fine seeing how well the game has been made.

Multiplayer works as expected and feels very seamless, only downside is having to recreate a character when joining a friend for the first time and can't copy a character over but most of the time you'll want to do this anyways as playing a different class/race can spice up the experience for content you've already completed.

If this game doesn't show the AAA companies how games should be released I don't know what will, it's a nice breath of fresh air from being suffocated by always online, micro-transactions and endless overpriced DLC for 15 minutes of content that was stripped from the base game. I truly hope this game wins Game of the Year as it is well deserving of it for the hard effort put in by Larian Studios.

89 Hours Edit:
The game is still just as amazing as the start was, it's become more difficult but still don't feel overwhelmed, in terms of bugs, still same as my original review there is almost none and the few that exist really aren't that bad and often kind of funny to see. There has been a few moments where I wish there was either more/different dialogue options but there is only so deep you can go before you end up in an endless loop of adding minute details. This is one of the few single-player games I've played for more than 10-15 hours as the story just keeps growing and evolving with every action you make, even things I thought I'd gotten away with, there was something that knew and came back to bite me later making certain things harder or easier. I truly cannot recommend this game enough, it has consumed my life since it's release and cannot wait to start my next character and potentially modded content once I've finished my first characters story.

167 Hours Edit:
I've finished 4 playthroughs and still loving this game, there is still so much content I've missed either in terms of items or entire areas. Every character I've played as has completely different options to others I've previously played, which also forces you to play different parts of the game you've never seen before which is really cool. There is so much value in this game it is insane, I cannot recommend this game enough as it is simple to pickup but has the right level of depth to keep you engaged through all your playthroughs.
