That's one of my all time favorite games now. Same thing, didn't like it at first, but once I started playing more of the game, they had some of the most interesting side quests.

Same. I wasn’t even an hour in. I was fucking around on some rocks and died from a ten foot drop. Early gameplay before getting some skills was kinda meh too. I didn’t come back for almost a year.

I had the same experience! I got as far as the first boss, died, and thought this game just wasn’t for me and fuck all the hype.

Came back a few years later and actually paid attention to the lore and was blown away.

I tried playing this on Xbox one, but I couldn't figure out the combat due to input lag.

Played it again on a different system, and it was excellent!
