What players say

95% of 45,591 reviews are positive · 93% of 515 in the last 30 days

Players praise the interconnected story, cast, character-building systems, and amount of side content. The dominant complaint is that unmarked quest requirements and timing can lock out companions, storylines, and endings, making a guide feel necessary; players also criticize awkward interface navigation and repetitive battles.
