The definition of "overstays its welcome".

An improvement over the first game all across the board - gameplay, visuals, soundtrack and writing - and an inexplicable attempt to be the next big epic open world RPG while barely being deeper than a Diablo clone. One of the most bizarrely expensive video game productions of all time, with all the money and effort seemingly going into meaningless padding and fractaling fetch quests. A deep dive into the series' lore with some interesting development and worldbuilding, while also making the universe come off blander than expected and ending with a lame surprise reveal in the final act. Eventually spawned a sequel, but not before fatally bankrupting the original studio due to the over-investment of its production.

Basically it's like a playable contradiction
