10 hours in and here's how the game plays; get a quest, travel somewhere, talk to someone, walk to the next person, talk to them, and go back to quest giver. Notice how I didn't talk about any combat? That's because most quests don't have any.
This game is a walking simulator with a touch of Witcher style combat. People will like this type of lore and story telling, but if you're gonna waste your life on a video game, this ain't it.
Read a book instead if you like endless, meaningless dialogue.
Some reviews are claiming this game is like dark souls... And as someone who's played every type of souls game, they are completely wrong!
