Definitely has potential, had times where i had alot of fun and other times where I was bored out of my mind or just frustrated. Also if I would recommend trying to figure out what skills and stats too prioritize if this is you first playthrough. I think that ruined some enjoyment for me since I focused on some stats and skills that bearly felt useful. Some areas are really fun and makes you really connect with the area and its people and theirs quests but other times it can be hard to tell what is the next course of action wich really frustrated sadly.

Finally I would recommend to just roll with the punches with this one. If you fail a speech check or someone dies, just live with it. It will make the game alot less slower even though it might feel like you get alitlle to harshly punished for it.

P.S don't invest in shotgun skill. It just sucks.
