This game makes you play the same "Speak to NPC ---> Scan footprints ---> Speak to NPC" sidequest 30 times for armour that gives you +3% fire resistance. I spent 90% of the combat running and hiding in the grass to shoot enemies from because there's no reasonable melee option, even to just back enemies away to shoot them with the bow. They squandered a beautiful open world, by putting nothing of consequence in it.
