It's another subpar Bethesda game in a long line of subpar Bethesda games. Lifeless bland NPCs, tons of glitches, bad gameplay issues, and the same "shallow ocean" criticisms we've been going over since Skyrim.
It's clear to me that Bethesda thinks Skyrim was peak Elder Scrolls, when I think Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls. Unfortunately, it seems too much to ask for a decent story and interesting side content.
So I just don't buy Bethesda games anymore. I was disappointed in Skyrim, and Fallout 4 wasn't really my thing. It also doesn't help that I don't like the leveling mechanics of RPGs either and tend to prefer ARPGs like Ys and Zelda where leveling isn't a major part of the game loop. I know what Bethesda offers, and it's just not what I'm looking for these days. I play RPGs for story and immersion, not for graphics, character builds, and mods, and Bethesda seems to be more interested in the latter than the former.
But that's what I appreciate from Bethesda. They're pretty consistent at delivering a certain experience, it just so happens that it's not for me.
You want bland NPCs then you should play BG3.
