Can someone give me a quick tldr why everyone is losing their mind over this?
I don't know anything about this game or it's predecessors.
Is it just a fantasy RPG or what's the hype all about?
How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?
It's D&D with pretty graphics, your character really feels like he has agenda in the world only after visting few intro camps, party composition can cause some serious story deviations, most of the times if you can think it you can do it...need I to go on?
