CDPR focus a lot on the story side of the game and it shows, the main quest are good, the side quests are engaging but that's about it. Thankfully by playing on PC we can talk about the content of the game rather than focusing on the abysmal console optimization attempt. But there's still bugs, more than you would expect from a modern AAA title that has promised RDR2 level of polish. Everything that's hyped up by CDPR are exaggerated and doesn't really contribute to the game's quality. Lifepath is one of them, not only it's disappointingly short, it doesn't really affect the story as much as they hyped it up. All you get for choosing different lifepath is just an extra dialog that doesn't affect the gameplay and nothing more. It's as deep as a puddle. That's my main grip, there's a lot more problem with this game that others have pointed out, and I agree with all of them. The AI is is more A than I, with cops spawning and multiplying literally 3 meters behind you, NPCs only have one reaction to violence which is crouch in fear, cars are driving on rails with no traffic AI. Character customization is too basic for an RPG game, no sliders, can't edit character post creation, can't transfer stats on fashion item. Imagine being in a world that's all about making personal statement and having your character walk the city like a clown just to have good stats. Inventory system and crafting system need an overhaul, currently there's no need to craft something that takes multiple hard to get parts since you can always get something better from world drops. You can carry dozens of rifles and shotguns in your pocket, this makes the stash on V's apartment and car storage irrelevant. List goes on and on, there's a lot of missing basic feature that is overlooked and bad design enough to distract you from immersing into the world. This game isn't an RPG first game that was promised by the CDPR 2 years ago, with all the cut content and under delivery it's something else completely different. It's riding on marketing hype, with no results to show for it.
